A hostname is the host portion of thedomain name, which is translated into an IP address. If Dynamic Domain NameSystem (Dynamic DNS) is available on your network and your instrument usesDHCP, the hostname is registered with the Dynamic DNS service at power-on. IfDHCP is enabled (SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:DHCP ON), the DHCP server canchange the specified hostname.If no hostname exists, a null string (“”) is returned. For the query form, specify“CURRent” (default) to read the value currently being used by the instrument.Specify “STATic” to read the host name currently stored in nonvolatile memorywithin the instrument (may not be the actual name used by the instrument ifDHCP is enabled). This setting is non-volatile; it is not changed by power cycling,*RST, or SYSTem:PRESet. This parameter is set to its default value when theinstrument is shipped from the factory and after SYSTem:SECurity:IMMediate.If you change this setting, you must send SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:UPDate toactivate the new setting.Command syntax SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:HOSTname Parameters Examples SYST:COMM:LAN:HOST “LAB-ACS”Query syntax SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:HOSTname?
