Example:
USB::0x0AAD::0x01DD::100001::INSTR
0x0AAD is the vendor ID for Rohde & Schwarz.
0x01DD is the product ID for the R&S SMA100B
100001 is the serial number of the particular instrument.
13.2.2.2 RS232 resource string
The RS232 resource string represents the addressing scheme for a device connected
to the serial interface of the instrument.
The USB resource string syntax is as follows:
ASRL<port number>[::INSTR]
ASRL is the name of the serial interface
<port number> is the number of the serial interface
Example:
ASRL1::INSTR
13.2.3 GPIB interface (IEC/IEEE bus interface)
Option: R&S SMAB-B86
To control the R&S SMA100B over the GPIB bus, the instrument and the controller PC
must be connected with a GPIB bus cable. A GPIB bus card, the card drivers and the
program libraries for the used programming language must be installed on the control-
ler.
For description of the characteristics, control commands and messages of the GPIB
interface, refer to Remote control via SCPI.
GPIB address
The controller PC addresses the instrument with the GPIB bus channel, see Chap-
ter 13.5.3, "GPIB address settings", on page 402. GPIB provides channel addresses
from 0 to 30.
The GPIB resource string syntax is as follows:
GPIB:://<channel>[::INSTR]
GPIB
= denotes the used interface
<channel address> = the used channel
[::INSTR] = indicates the instrument resource class (optional)
