HiSLIP protocol
The HiSLIP (High Speed LAN Instrument Protocol) is a protocol for TCP-based instru-
ments specified by the IVI foundation. Compared to its predecessor VXI-11, it provides
speed and other improvements. HiSLIP is encapsulated in VISA; the resource string
reads TCPIP::<R&S ZNB/ZNBT IP address>::hislip0.
The RS Visa library supports HiSLIP. If the connection fails, access the Windows con-
trol panel of the controlled instrument and open port 4880 for incoming connections.
6.1.1 Remote control via USB
The instrument can be remote-controlled via USB. The VISA resource string for con-
trolling a device via USB has to be specified in the format
USB[board]::<Manufacturer ID>::<Device ID>::<Serial Number>::
INSTR.
The <Manufacturer ID> of Rohde & Schwarz is 0x0AAD, the <Device ID> is
model-specific.
