5. Communicate with PC
Supports communication with a computer via a USB port or a LAN port. Using the Waveform Editor software installed on the computer, the signal generator can be operated on the computer to control the output of the signal generator. Here’s how to connect to a computer. First, install the Waveform Editor software on the CD-ROM on your computer. Then, there are several connection options to choose from.
Using USB Port
(1) Set the USB device protocol type of the signal generator: Press Utility I/O Setup USBDEV, switch to PC.
(2) Connection: Connect the USB Device interface on the rear panel of the signal generator to the USB interface of the computer with a USB cable.
(3) Install the driver: Run Waveform Editor software on the computer, press F1 to view the built-in help documentation. Follow the instructions to install the driver. The path of the driver is the USBDRV folder in the directory where the Waveform Editor communication software is located, such as “C:Program Files (x86)DS_WaveWaveform EditorUSBDRV”.
(4) Host computer communication port setting: Open the Waveform Editor software, click “Communications” in the menu bar, select “Ports-Settings”, in the setting dialog box, select the communication port as “USB”. After the connection is successful, the connection status prompt in the lower right corner of the software interface turns green.
Using LAN Port
Connect Directly
(1) Connection. Plug one end of the network cable into the LAN connector on the rear panel of the signal generator; the other end is plugged into the LAN interface of the computer.
(2) Set the network parameters of the computer. Since the signal generator does not support automatic IP address acquisition, you need to specify the IP yourself. Here we set the IP address to 192.168.1.71.
(3) Set the network parameters of the host computer. Run Waveform Editor software on the computer. In the “Communications” menu, under “Ports- Settings”, select the communication port as “LAN”, the IP is set to be the same as the first three fields of the computer’s network IP in step (2), and the
19

5.Communicate with PC last field has a different IP address. It is “192.168.1.99”; the port can be set to any value from 0 to 4000. However, since ports below 2000 are often occupied, it is recommended to set it to 2000 or higher. Here, it is set to “3000”.
Figure 5-1: Setting the network parameters of the host computer (4) Set the network parameters of the signal generator. In the signal generator,
press Utility I/O Setup Network setting to enter the submenu. Set the IP address and port to the IP and port in the PC software port settings in step (3). After the shutdown and restart, if the data can be obtained normally in the PC software, the connection is successful.
Connect through a Router
(1) Connection. Connect the LAN interface on the rear panel of the signal generator to the router with a network cable. The computer is also connected to the router.
(2) Set the network parameters of the computer. Since the signal generator does not support automatic IP address acquisition, you need to specify the IP yourself. The default gateway and subnet mask settings must match the settings of the router. For example, the IP address is set to 192.168.1.71, the subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0, and the default gateway is set to 192.168.1.1.
(3) Set the network parameters of the host computer. Run Waveform Editor software on the computer. In the “Communications” menu, under “Ports- Settings”, select the communication port as “LAN”, the IP is set to be the same as the first three fields of the computer’s network IP in step (2), and the last field has a different IP address. It is “192.168.1.99”; the port can be set to any value from 0 to 4000. However, since ports below 2000 are often occupied, it is recommended to set it to 2000 or higher. Here, it is set to “3000”.
