6.3.1 AgM8195SFP.exe
Before sending SCPI commands to the instrument, the Soft Front Panel
(AgM8195SFP.exe) must be started. This can be done in the Windows Start menu
(Start > All Programs > Keysight M8195 > Keysight M8195 Soft Front Panel).
6.3.1.1 Command Line Arguments

6.3.1.2 Communication
Depending on the command line arguments /Socket, /Telnet, /Inst, /AutoID,
/NoAutoID, /FallBack, the Soft Front Panel starts several servers to handle SCPI
commands. (Refer to the table above.)
/Socket, /Telnet, /Inst, /HiSLIP: If -1, don’t start the respective servers
Defaults:
 Socket port: 5025 (e.g. TCPIP0::localhost::5025::SOCKET)
 Telnet port: 5024
 HiSLIP: 0 (e.g. TCPIP0::localhost::hislip0::INSTR)
 VXI-11.3: 0 (e.g. TCPIP0::localhost::inst0::INSTR)
