Matt,

I have the E5810A manual (that can be downloaded from Agilent).
Thought it wouldn't work, but...

Finally, I found the E2050A default IP address 192.0.0.192 somewhere on the web.
Then I connected the E2050A and my PC directly, using a crossover cable.
Some important instructions are on p. 49 of the E5810A manual...
Enter in a DOS window: route add <192.0.0.192> <PC IP-Address> From that point I got access to the configuration utility via Telnet (must be activated, btw.). I assigned a fixed IP address etc. on my router and entered it into the E2050A.
Exit the Telnet utility with 'reboot' to save the changes.
Connect the E2050A with a non crossover cable to the local network, cycle power, and it works!

As usual, the biggest headache was to get the basic communication established...

I'd still be interested in the original manual, but I'm happy it works without.

I'm not sure if the programming is the same, but we use a couple of
the E5810A and love it.  We have full python code for using it if that
is of use.

Ulrich,

thanks for your reply.

I have installed the I/O libraries suite 14.0 that supports the E2050A.
However, I don't get any communication with the unit, no matter if I connet
it to my LAN or directly with a crossover cable. I think a manual would
probably do the trick.

Adrian,

not sure whether you can reach your aim completely without a manual.
However
installing the AGILENT I/O Libraries should bring you a big step forward.
Having installed the software it should recognize the E5020A and the GPIB
devices connected to it, so that some basic communication tests should be
possible from within the GUI (i.e. without any programming).

After basic functionality tests you should be able to talk to your
instruments through the I/O Libraries with any software that knows how to
make use of VISA functionality, for example my EZGPIB utility (but of
course
there are others too).

Best regards
Ulrich

Hi,

hope it's not considered too far off-topic. (Actually, I'm trying to
control some counters etc. of my time and frequncy rack through the E2050A.)
I just don't get it working. I have the 4-page 'overview' but couldn't find
any other information.

Anyone got a manual for me?

Regards,
Adrian
