86100D How to Communicate Using a Computer Keysight DCA-X Oscilloscopes
86100D DCA-X The 86100D DCA-X oscilloscope communicates by connecting to a computer in one of the following ways:
LAN Connection: You can use a network cable to connect the 86100D's LAN port to the computer's network card or router. The appropriate IP address and subnet mask need to be set on both the 86100D and the computer for communication. SCPI commands can be sent to the 86100D over the LAN using FlexDCA software or other VISA-enabled software.
GPIB Connection: If the 86100D has the GPIB option, a GPIB cable can be used to connect the 86100D's GPIB port to the computer's GPIB card or converter. The appropriate GPIB addresses need to be set on the 86100D and computer for communication. Different programming guides and command sets will also need to be selected depending on the configuration mode (standard or legacy) of your 86100D. SCPI commands can be sent to the 86100D via GPIB using FlexDCA software or other VISA-enabled software.
Keysight 86100D connected to the computer need to prepare the following software (attention to "Megatrends" public number, send "is the German 86100 software" to get the download link.) FlexDCA Software: This is the software for the 86100D:
FlexDCA software: This is a software specially designed for 86100D, which can realize remote control, data analysis, signal simulation and other functions. The software supports USB, LAN and GPIB connections and can send SCPI commands to 86100D via VISA.
Keysight IO Libraries Suite Software: This is a general-purpose instrument driver and communications software that helps you identify and configure Keysight instruments such as the 86100D. The software can assign a VISA address to the 86100D for communication via USB or LAN.
GPIB Drivers and Converters: If you are using GPIB to connect to the 86100D, you will need to install the appropriate GPIB drivers and converters in order for the computer to recognize the GPIB card or device.

GPIB connection:
On the back of the 86100D main unit, locate the GPIB port .
USB port connects to the computer USB, GPIB connects to the host GPIB port.
Open the "FlexDCA Software" software, find "Instruments", click the refresh button.
Find the "GPIB-USB" tab, and see the list of connected devices below.
Click "86100D", you can see the device information on the right side: model, SN, version, etc.
Test whether the device is connected successfully, you need to send commands to let the device feedback, the operation is shown in Figure
LAN Connection
Note: Before using LAN connection, you should set the same range of TCP/IPV4 on your computer.
Set up a fixed IP address on your computer, see the GIP chart for details.
Find "My Instruments",click "Add>LAN>Interface".
In the "Add a LAN device" pop-up window, select "Enter Address" and enter the IP address of the network segment you just set.
