LXI:MDSN:ENAB ON

LXI:MDNS:HNAMe[:RESolved]?

Returns the resolved (unique) mDNS hostname in the form K-<model number>-<serial>-N , where <serial> is the last 5 digits of the instrument's serial number. The N is an integer appended if necessary to make the name unique. The desired name may be truncated, if necessary, to make room for the appended integer.

Parameter Typical Return
(none) "K-34460A-yyyyy", where yyyyy is the last five digits of the serial number.
Return the resolved mDNS hostname:

LXI:MDNS:HNAMe:RESolved?

LXI:MDNS:SNAMe:DESired "<name>"
LXI:MDNS:SNAMe:DESired?

Sets the desired mDNS service name.

Parameter Typical Return

Quoted string of up to 63 characters.

Default:

"Keysight <model number> Digital Multimeter - <serial>"

where <serial> is the last 5 digits of the instrument's serial number

"Keysight 34460A Digital Multimeter - 98765"
Set the mDNS service name:

LXI:MDNS:SNAM:DES "LAB1-DMM"

LXI:MDNS:SNAMe[:RESolved]?

The resolved mDNS service name will be the desired service name (LXI:MDNS:SNAMe:DESired), possibly with "(<N>)" appended. The N is an integer appended if necessary to make the name unique. The desired name may be truncated, if necessary, to make room for the appended integer.
