Control over SICL-LAN Server
In the control system using the SICL-LAN server, communication between

Instrument Control Library). You can control the E5071C by programming
using SICL or VISA with the C language in the UNIX environment, or Visual
C++, Visual Basic, or VEE in the Windows environment.
