Note: If the VISA implementation supports the GPIB interface, you can optionally
define the VISA Instrument Control Resource (INSTR). It is used to define the basic
operations and attributes for a device, such as reading, writing, or triggering.
Example:
GPIB::28::INSTR
28 is the selected GPIB bus channel
13.2.4 LXI browser interface
The LXI browser interface allows easy configuration of the LAN and remote control of
the R&S SMA100B without additional installation requirements. The instrument's LXI
browser interface works correctly with all W3C compliant browsers.
See Chapter 13.11.1, "LXI functionality", on page 445 for more about LXI.
The LAN settings are configured using the instrument's LXI browser interface descri-
bed in Chapter 13.6.2.1, "LAN configuration", on page 410.
13.3 Remote control programs and libraries
This section shows how the remote-control programs access the instrument, and the
libraries they require for the corresponding interface protocols.

Possible setups and access functions
The following examples give an overview of dependencies between the available libra-
ries, the possible interfaces and protocols, and whether an instrument driver is provi-
ded. For detailed information, see the application note 1GP72: Connectivity of
Rohde&Schwarz Signal Generators.
