Using the LAN to Control the Analyzer
Collecting SICL LAN Set-up Information
Before you set up your analyzer as a SICL LAN server, you will need to
collect some information about your VISA/SICL LAN client application.
The “value” of the following parameters can be found from the front
panel
System keys. They can then be used to set up your VISA/SICL
LAN client application:
Emulated GPIB
Name The GPIB name is the name given to a device used to
communicate with the analyzer. Your analyzer is
shipped with gpib7 as its GPIB name. The GPIB name
is the same as the remote SICL address.
Emulated GPIB
Logical Unit The logical unit number is a unique integer assigned to
the device to be controlled using SICL LAN. Your
analyzer is shipped with the logical unit number set to
8.
Emulated GPIB
Address The emulated GPIB address (bus address) is assigned
to the device to be controlled using SICL LAN. The
emulated GPIB address is automatically set to be the
same as the current GPIB address. The instrument is
shipped with the emulated GPIB address set to 18.
The SICL LAN server uses the GPIB name, GPIB logical unit number,
and GPIB address configuration on the SICL LAN client to
communicate with the client. You must match these parameters exactly
(including case) when you set up the SICL LAN client and server.
Configuring Your Analyzer as a SICL LAN Server
After you have collected the required information from the SICL LAN
client, perform the following steps to set up your analyzer as a SICL
LAN server:
1. Identify the GPIB name.
Press
System, Config I/O, SICL Server, Emulated GPIB Name, and notice
that it is gpib7.
2. Notice that the Emulated GPIB Logical Unit is set to 8.
3. Notice that the
Emulated GPIB Address is set the same as the GPIB
address.
