When using the NI-VISA library, ensure that the network analyzer itself is not listed as

a network device in the Measurement & Automation Explorer. Otherwise, "Scan Instru-

ments" will send an identification query (*IDN?), causing the analyzer to close the

"External Generators" dialog (without executing "Scan Instruments") and to activate the

remote screen.

Remote command:

n/a

LAN Detection

Activate "LAN Detection" to include the LAN interface in the autodetection sequence

(see Scan Instruments).

Note: "LAN detection" will only work for external devices sharing the same IP subnet

with the R&S ZNB/ZNBT.

As a prerequisite, the R&S ZNB/ZNBT must accept incoming connections on UDP port

2473. If necessary, add a corresponding inbound rule to your firewall settings.

Remote command:

n/a

Add Device

Adds a new instrument to the list of "Configured Devices". In the "Add External Gener-

ator" dialog opened, you can specify the properties of the new instrument and the con-

nection.

●

"Interface" selects an interface/protocol type for the connection. In addition to the

GPIB, VXI-11, SOCKET, and USB-VISA interface types (for devices connected to

the GPIB Bus, LAN or USB connectors of the analyzer; see Table 5-9), the ana-

lyzer supports any "Other" interface supported by the installed VISA library.

●

"Address" contains the address for the current interface type. GPIB addresses

must be unique for all devices connected to the GPIB bus (range: 0 to 30), GPIB

and IP addresses must agree with the entries in the VISA library. The remaining

interface types require composite address formats; see Table 5-9.

If an instrument is connected to the R&S ZNB/ZNBT, the entries in the [Driver for

New Instrument] panel can be auto-detected for the specified interface type and

address.

●

"Identify" sends an identification query ("IDN?") to the specified device address in

order to identify the type and serial number of the connected generator and select
