19.1.1 Introduction
The R&S FPC supports two different interfaces for remote control.
●
LAN Interface
The protocol is based on TCP/IP and supports the VXI-11 standard.
●
USB Interface
The connectors for both interfaces are on the rear panel of the R&S FPCand allow for
a connection to a controller for remote control via a local area network (LAN) or directly
via USB.
SCPI
SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) commands - messages -
are used for remote control. Commands that are not taken from the SCPI standard fol-
low the SCPI syntax rules. The instrument supports the SCPI version 1999. The SCPI
standard is based on standard IEEE 488.2 and aims at the standardization of device-
