Switching between Remote and Local Modes
When Switching from Local to Remote Mode
If the DL9000 receives a “:COMMunicate:REMote ON” command from the PC when it is
in the local mode, it switches to the remote mode.
• REMOTE is displayed in the center of the upper section of the screen.
• All keys except the CLEAR key are disabled.
• Settings entered in local mode are retained even when the DL9000 switches to remote
mode.
When Switching from Remote to Local Mode
Pressing CLEAR in remote mode puts the instrument in local mode. However, this is
void when the DL9000 has received a “:COMMunicate:LOCKout ON” command from
the PC (local lockout condition). When the DL9000 receives a “:COMMunicate:REMote
OFF” command from the PC, the DL9000 switches to the local mode regardless of the
local lock condition.
•REMOTE indication in the center of the upper section of the screen disappears.
• Key operations are enabled.
• Settings entered in remote mode are retained even when the DL9000 switches to
local mode.
Note
The USB interface cannot be used simultaneously with another interface (GP-IB or Ethernet
interface).

1.3 Connection via the USB Interface
Precautions to Be Taken When Making Connections
• Connect the USB cable by inserting the connector firmly into the USB connector.
• When connecting multiple devices using USB hubs, connect the DL9000 to the USB
hub that is closest to the controller.
• Do not insert the USB cable into the GO/NO-GO output terminal. If you do, the
instrument may malfunction.

1.4 Setting the DL9000 (USB)
Procedure
Selecting the Communication Interface
1. Press SYSTEM.
2. Press the Remote Control soft key.
3. Press the USB soft key.
Menu on products with firmware
version 1.80 or higher
To control the DL9000 using
communication commands
through the USB port, select
TMC or TMC & Mass Storage,
and restart the DL9000 to
activate the settings.
Note
• Only the communication interface selected by Remote Control is enabled. The DL9000
does not accept commands that are transmitted to other unselected communication
interfaces.
• To control the DL9000 remotely using communication commands through the USB port,
select “TMC” in the menu above, and carry out the procedure below.
• You must restart the DL9000 to activate the TMC, Mass Storage, or TMC & Mass
Storage setting. Wait at least 10 seconds after you turn the power switch OFF, and then
turn the switch back ON.
• Install YOKOGAWA’s TMC (Text and Measurement Class) driver into your PC. To obtain
YOKOGAWA’s USB TMC driver, contact your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer or access the
following USB driver page at our Web site and download it.
http://www.yokogawa.com/tm/tm-softdownload.htm
• Only use the USB TMC driver (or software) provided by YOKOGAWA.
• The DL9000 can be controlled remotely even when TMC & Mass Storage is enabled and the
DL9000 is connected to the PC. However, file operation is not possible using communication
commands. In addition, file operation is also not possible using the keys on the DL9000.
Disconnect the PC or activate the TMC setting and connect the DL9000 to the PC. File
operation is also not possible using keys on the DL9000 when the Mass Storage setting is
enabled.

Switching between Remote and Local Modes
When Switching from Local to Remote Mode
The DL9000 switches to remote mode when it is in local mode and it receives a
:COMMunicate:REMote ON command from the PC.
• “REMOTE” appears at the top center of the screen.
• All keys except the CLEAR key are disabled.
• Settings entered in local mode are retained even when the DL9000 switches to remote
mode.
When Switching from Remote to Local Mode
When the DL9000 is in remote mode and you press CLEAR, the DL9000 switches to
Local mode, unless it has received a :COMMunicate:LOCKout ON command from
the PC, in which case pressing CLEAR will have no effect. The DL9000 switches to
local mode when it receives a :COMMunicate:REMote OFF command from the PC,
regardless of the local lockout state.
• The “REMOTE” indicator at the top center of the screen disappears.
• Key operations are enabled.
• Settings entered in remote mode are retained even when the DL9000 switches to
local mode.
Note
The Ethernet/VXI-11 interface cannot be used simultaneously with another interface (USB or
GP-IB interface).
User Authentication Feature
You must enter a user name and password to access the DL9000 through the Ethernet
interface. If the SB Series Library (TMCTL) version is 1.40 or later, the password is
encrypted using the MD5 algorithm (RSA Data Security, Inc. MD5 Message-Digest
Algorithm) and then sent to the DL9000.
Set the user name and password in the Remote Control setup screen in the DL9000
SYSTEM menu. For instructions on how to set the user name and password, see section
2.4, “Setting the DL9000 (Network).”
If you select VXI-11 in the Device menu of the Remote Control setup screen (explained
later), the user authentication setup menu will not appear in the Remote Control setup
screen.

Notes about Connections
• Be sure to connect the DL9000 to a PC through a hub using straight cables. The
DL9000 may not operate properly if you connect it to a PC directly using a cross
cable.
• If you use UTP cables (straight cables), make sure that they are category 5.

2.4 Setting the DL9000 (Network)
Procedure
Selecting the Communication Interface
1. Press SYSTEM.
2. Press the Remote Control soft key. The Device menu appears.
3. Press the Network or VXI-11 soft key.
• If you want to use the Ethernet interface, press Network.
• If you want to use the VXI-11 interface, press VXI-11.

select Network
When you
select VXI-11
Note
Only the interface that you select after pressing Remote Control is valid. The DL9000 does not
accept commands that are transmitted to other unselected communication interfaces.
User Name and Password
(This setup menu does not appear when you select VXI-11 in step 3.)
4. Press the UserName soft key. A keyboard appears on the screen.
5. To enter the user name, follow the procedure in section 4.2 of the DL9000 User’s
Manual (IM701310-01E).
6. Enter the password in the same manner that you entered the user name.

Note
• For details on how to operate the soft keyboard, see section 4.2, “Entering Values and
Strings” in the DL9000 User’s Manual (IM701310-01E).
• User names and passwords are case-sensitive.
Configuring TCP/IP Settings
To use the Ethernet interface, you must specify the following TCP/IP settings.
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
For details on how to specify these settings, see section 15.2, “Setting Up the TCP/IP” in
the DL9000 User’s Manual (IM701310-01E).
Explanation
To use a controller to configure the same settings that you can configure using the
DL9000 keys or to send setting parameters and waveform data to a controller, you must
configure the settings described below.
User Name and Password
The Ethernet interface has a user authentication feature. Set the DL9000 user name and
password in advance.
If you select VXI-11 in the Device menu of the Remote Control setup screen, the user
authentication setup menu will not appear in the Remote Control setup screen.
• User Name
Set the user name using up to 30 characters. The default setting is “anonymous.”
• Password
Set the password using up to 30 characters.
Timeout Value
The DL9000 disconnects itself from the controller if it is not accessed for the period of
time that you specify using the timeout value.
TCP/IP
For details, see section 15.2, “Setting Up the TCP/IP” in the DL9000 User’s Manual
(IM701310-01E).
Note
• The DL9000 terminates the connection if there is an error in the user authentication process.
• You do not need to enter a password when the user name is set to “anonymous.”

Precautions to Be Taken When Making Connections
• For the handling of the GP-IB card, see the manual that comes with the GP-IB card.
• Attach the GP-IB correctly with the front face up.
• Connect the GP-IB card to the DL9000 PC card slot first. Then, turn the DL9000 ON.
• Multiple cables can be used to connect multiple devices. However, no more than 15
devices including the controller can be connected on a single bus.
• When connecting multiple devices, each device must have its own unique address.
• Use a cable of length 2 m or less for connecting the devices.
• Make sure the total cable length does not exceed 20 m.
• When communicating, have at least two-thirds of the devices turned ON.
• When connecting multiple devices, connect them in a star or linear configuration (see
the figure below). Do not wire them in a loop or parallel configuration.
CAUTION
When connecting or disconnecting communication cables, make sure to turn OFF
the PC and the DL9000. Otherwise, erroneous operation or damage to the internal
circuitry may result.
