I am trying to load arb files onto the unit. The only configuration that seems to work is a Windows XP laptop directly connected to the unit. Each has its address set to a unique address in the same Class C network range. A Windows 7 laptop configured the same way does not work. A Linux workstation also do not work. The firmware on the unit has been upgraded to the latest version (curiously enough successfully done with a Windows 7 VM on a Linux laptop)
Any suggestions on how to get this unit to work on a normal network?

How are the arb files loaded to the instrument from the laptop?
There are a few methods to transfer, using FTP, Intuilink, and Toolkit.
As for the Windows 7, there shouldn’t be any problem transferring arb files to the instrument.
Here is the programming guide for Signal Generator products: http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/E8251-90355.pdf , please refer to Chapter 5 - downloading waveforms.
