Connecting the WTS to a Client PC

You can connect the WTS instrument to a client PC using a direct connection or through a network.

Tip For best results, dedicate one Ethernet port for the SCPI communication, and connect the Ethernet cable from that port directly to the client PC to avoid slow hubs or switches.
Note If you are connecting directly to the WTS , the Ethernet port on the client PC must use the same subnet as the host WTS . For example, if you are using the default fixed IP address for the WTS (192.168.0.10), use 192.168.0.1 for the client PC. If you are connecting multiple clients to the host WTS through a switch, each client must have a unique IP address on the same subnet as the host.
