Programming Fundamentals
Controlling Your Instrument with SICL LAN and HP/Agilent
VEE
Before you can use SICL LAN with VEE, you need to set up VISA/SICL
LAN I/O drivers for use with your VEE application. Consult your VEE
documentation for information how to do this.
NOTE If you are using Agilent VEE and SICL LAN, the logical unit number is
limited to the range of 0-8.
The logical unit number is the same as the interface select code (ISC).
VEE reserves ISC values 9-18, and does not allow you to use them for
SICL/LAN communications with your instrument. VEE also does not
allow any ISC values higher than 18.
After you have the VISA/SICL LAN I/O drivers installed, perform the
steps below to set up VEE to control your instrument:
1. On your computer or workstation, select I/O|Instrument Manager.
2. Add a new GPIB device with an address of 7XX, where XX is the
GPIB device address from your instrument.
Figure 5-1 Adding Your Instrument as a VEE Device
To send SCPI commands to the instrument, select I/O|Instrument
Manager, and the GPIB device just added. Select Direct I/O. You can
now type SCPI commands in the command window, and they are sent
over the LAN to your instrument.
