48 Keysight CXG, EXG, and MXG X-Series Signal Generators Programming Guide
Using IO Interfaces
Using LAN
Using VISA Assistant
Use the VISA Assistant, available with the Keysight IO Library versions M and
earlier, to communicate with the signal generator over the LAN interface.
However, you must manually configure the VISA LAN client. Refer to the Help
menu for instructions on configuring and running the VISA Assistant program.
1. Run the IO Config program.
2. Click on TCPIP0 in the Available Interface Types text box.
3. Click the Configure button. Then Click OK to use the default settings.
4. Click on TCPIP0 in the Configured Interfaces text box.
5. Click Edit...
6. Click the Edit VISA Config... button.
7. Click the Add device button.
8. Enter the TCPIP address of the signal generator. Leave the Device text box
empty.
9. Click the OK button in this form and all subsequent forms to exit the IO
Config program.
If You Have Problems
1. Verify the signal generator’s IP address is valid and that no other
instrument is using the IP address.
2. Switch between manual LAN configuration and DHCP using the front
panel LAN Config softkey and run the ping program using the different IP
addresses.
For Keysight IO Libraries versions M and earlier, you must manually
configure the VISA LAN client in the IO Config program if you want to use
the VISA Assistant to verify LAN configuration. Refer to the IO Libraries
Installation Guide for information on configuring IO interfaces. The IO
Config program interface is shown in Figure 2-3 on page 51.
