Remote Control via LAN MEMORY HiCORDERs and PC Communications

The HIOKI 9333 LAN COMMUNICATOR is a PC program that allows measurement data to be quickly transferred through remote control commands issued over a LAN between MEMORY HiCORDERs and PCs. The screen of the MEMORY HiCORDER can be displayed in near real time on the PC, for convenient monitoring during measurement. Remote measurement and monitoring has never been easier! Using the MEMORY HiCORDER as the data collection tool, waveform data can also be transferred to the PC via the highspeed LAN connection.

• Faster transfer speed (even faster than the writing speed of the MO drive in the HiCORDER)
• Longer cable lengths possible (up to 100m with 10Base- T cable)
• Existing corporate LAN infrastructure can be used
• PC program (9333 LAN COMMUNICATOR) is available
• Less susceptible to errors than RS-232C: data disrupted by noise is automatically resent
• PC expenses can be lower than for GP-IB

• Transfer time depends on network traffic when the network is shared by other devices. In addition, HiCORDER data transfers affect other network traffic
• In some cases, depending on network management, existing LANs may not be usable for the HiCORDER
• PC networking settings are more complex than for RS-232C, and more settings are required because the OS is affected. (However, once set, there is no need to reset later)
