TCPIP::<host address>[::<LAN device name>][::INSTR]
TCPIP = designates the network protocol
host address = designates the IP address or hostname of the instrument
[::LAN device name] = defines the protocol and the instance number of a subinstrument
[::INSTR] = indicates the instrument resource class (optional)
The IP address (host address/computer name) is used by the programs to identify and
control the instrument. It is automatically assigned by the DHCP server the first time
the device is registered in the network. Optionally, you can also assign its LAN device
name.
If assigned, the IP address is displayed in the home screen. You can adjust it manually
with the parameter the "System Config > Remote Access > Network" > IP Address
Enabling a locked user interface for manual operation.
The following section lists the characteristics of the VISA resource strings for the corre-
sponding interface protocols. The emphasized characters determine the protocol.
For description of the interface protocols, control commands and messages, refer to
Remote control via SCPI.
HiSLIP
TCPIP::<host address>::hislip0[::INSTR]
hislip0
= HiSLIP device name, designates that the interface protocol HiSLIP is used (mandatory)
hislip0 is composed of [::HiSLIP device name[,HiSLIP port]] and must be
assigned.
Example:
TCPIP::192.1.2.3::hislip0
VXI-11
TCPIP::<host address>[::inst0][::INSTR]
[::inst0]
= LAN device name, indicates that the VXI-11 protocol is used (optional)
inst0 currently selects the VXI-11 protocol by default and can be omitted.
Example:
TCPIP::192.1.2.3::INSTR
Socket communication
TCPIP::<host address>::<port>::SOCKET
