2.1 Overview of Communication
You can control the instrument with communication commands from a computer via the USB,GP-IB,RS-
232C and LAN interfaces.
There are the following four communication methods. To enable communication,the communication
conditions need to be set on the instrument.
USB communication (p. 7)
The instrument is communication class compatible.
LAN communication (p. 9)
Command control using the TCP/IP protocol is possible.
GP-IB communication (when the Z3000 is connected) (p. 14)
•Commands common to IEEE-488-2 1987 (requirement) can be used.
•The instrument has been designed with reference to the following standard.
(Reference standard: IEEE-488.2 1987)
RS-232C communication (when the Z3001 is connected) (p. 16)
WARNING
•Always turn both devices OFF when connecting and disconnecting an interface
connector. Otherwise,an electric shock accident may occur.
•To avoid damage to the instrument,do not short-circuit the terminal and do not
input voltage to the terminal.
•Failure to fasten the connectors properly may result is sub-specication
performance or damage to the equipment.

USB Settings and Connection
2.2 USB Settings and Connection
To connect the instrument to a computer the rst time,a dedicated USB driver must be installed.
Before connecting the instrument to the computer,install the USB driver.
The USB driver can be downloaded from the bundled CD,or our web site. (http://www.hioki.com)
The USB driver is compatible with the Windows Vista (32-bit,64-bit version),Windows 7 (32-bit,64-bit
version),Windows 8 (32-bit,64-bit version) and Windows 10 (32-bit,64-bit version) operating systems.
Additionally,do not put the computer into the sleep state while the instrument is connected to the
computer.

CAUTION
•To avoid faults,do not disconnect or reconnect the USB cable during instrument
operation.
•Connect the instrument and the computer to a common earth ground. Using different
grounds could result in potential difference between the instrument and the computer.
Potential difference on the USB cable can result in malfunctions and faults.
•Do not disconnect or connect other USB devices from or to,respectively,PC during
USB communications between instrument and computer. The USB communications
between instrument and PC may stop.

LAN Settings and Connection
2.3 LAN Settings and Connection
LAN Settings
You can perform command control using the TCP/IP protocol.
Set the instrument to match your network environment in advance.
•Make these settings before connecting to a network. Changing settings while connected can duplicate
IP addresses of other network devices,and incorrect address information may otherwise be presented
to the network.
•The instrument does not support DHCP (automatic IP address assignment) on a network.
Setting Items
IP address
Identies each device connected on a network.
Each network device must be set to a unique address.
The instrument supports IP version 4,with IP addresses indicated as four decimal octets,
e.g.,“192.168.0.1”.
Subnet mask This setting is for separating the IP address into the network address that indicates the network and the host address that indicates the instrument. On this instrument,the subnet
mask is represented as four decimal numbers separated by “. “ such as “255.255.255.0.”
Default Gateway
When the computer and instrument are on different but overlapping networks (subnets),this
IP address species the device to serve as the gateway between the networks.
If the computer and instrument are connected one-to-one,no gateway is used,and the
instrument’s default setting “0.0.0.0” can be kept as is.
 Network Environment Conguration
Example 1. Connecting the instrument to an existing network
Example 1. Connecting the instrument to an existing network
When connecting the instrument to an existing network, the network settings need to be conrmed
in advance.
An IP address which is not the same as that of another network device needs to be assigned.
Conrm the following items with the network administrator,and write them down.
IPAddress _________._________._________._________
Subnet Mask _________._________._________._________
Default Gateway _________._________._________._________
Example 2. Connecting multiple instruments to a single computer using a hub
When building a local network with no outside connection,the following private IP addresses are
recommended.
Example of private IP address:
IPAddress.....................Computer: 192.168.0.100
Instrument: 192.168.0.1,192.168.0.2,192.168.0.3...
(Set an IP address that differs from that of other network devices.)
Subnet Mask..................255.255.255.0
Default Gateway.............OFF(0.0.0.0)...
Example 3. Connecting one instrument to a single computer using the 9642 LAN Cable
The 9642 LAN Cable can be used with its supplied connection adapter to connect one instrument
to one computer,in which case the IP address is freely settable. Use the recommended private IP
addresses.
IPAddress.....................Computer: 192.168.0.100
Instrument: 192.168.0.1 (Set to a different IP address than the computer.)
Subnet Mask..................255.255.255.0
Default Gateway....OFF(0.0.0.0)
