Hi
Is it possible to grab the data logger data over the lan via SCPI?
I can see how to export to a CSV file and then possibly get it to my machine via the awkward IT departments control of the lan.
Thanks

Yes you can! There is a command to read the contents of a file out using the SCPI interface. The command is MMEM:DATA? Here is a little snippet of how to use it (the IO library is VISA-COM):
N6705A.WriteString "MMEM:DATA? ""internal:\default.dlog"""
filedata() = N6705A.ReadIEEEBlock(BinaryType_UI1)
You would then save the filedata in a file on your PC.
You can do this via LAN, USB, or GPIB. One caveat is that a large file is going to take a very, very long time to transfer using this method.
