GPIB GPIB is used extensively when a dedicated computer is available for remote control of
each instrument or system. Data transfer is fast because GPIB handles information in
bytes with data transfer rates of up to 8 MBps. GPIB is physically restricted by the
location and distance between the instrument/system and the computer; cables are
limited to an average length of two meters per device with a total length of 20 meters.
For more information on configuring the signal generator to communicate over the
GPIB, refer to
“Using GPIB” on page 25.
LAN Data transfer using the LAN is fast as the LAN handles packets of data. The single
cable distance between a computer and the signal generator is limited to 100 meters
(100Base- T and 10Base- T).
The Keysight MXG is capable of 100Base- T LAN communication. The ESG, PSG and
E8663B are designed to connect with a 10Base- T LAN. Where auto- negotiation is
present, the ESG and PSG’s can connect to a 100Base- T LAN, but communicate at
10Base- T speeds. For more information on LAN communication refer to
http://www.ieee.org.
The following protocols can be used to communicate with the signal generator over the
LAN:
VXI- 11 (recommended)
Sockets
TELNET
FTP
The Keysight MXG supports LXI Class B
a
functionality. For more information on the
LXI standards, refer to http://www.lxistandard.org/home.
For more information on configuring the signal generator to communicate over the LAN,
refer to
“Using LAN” on page 31.
