Dependencies and
Couplings:
Establishes a connection with the entered IP Address at port
5025. If a connection can not be established at any time
(perhaps if the entered IP address is incorrect, or if the external
source or PSA are disconnected from the LAN) then the IP
address is reset to ‘0.0.0.0’.
If you are using a cross-over LAN cable to connect the
instruments directly together, then the IP addresses of both the
instruments must start with the same two integers. That is, if
the spectrum analyzer IP address is 156.121.12.122, the source
IP address must be 156.121.xxx.xxx.
Once a valid connection has been confirmed, if the external
source or PSA is disconnected from the LAN the connection will
not be identified as invalid until you change a parameter that
requires the external source to be reconfigured.
The following operations are disabled if a LAN connection is not
established with your specified IP Address:
• External Source Amplitude
• External Source Amplitude Step
• Configure Sweep functions
• Normalize
• Open/Short CAL
Factory Preset Persistent setting survives instrument preset and power cycle.
State Saved No
