• MAC address

It displays the MAC address of the instrument.

The Media Access Control (MAC) address, also called the hardware address, is

used to define the location of the network device. For a power supply, the MAC

address is always unique. When attributing IP address for the instrument, the

MAC address is usually used to identify the instrument. The MAC address (48

bits, namely 6 bytes) is usually expressed in hexadecimal form, for example,

00-2A-A0-AA-E0-56.

• VISA

Virtual Instrument Software Architecture (VISA), an advanced application

programming interface developed by National Instrument (NI), is used to

communicate with various instrument buses. It uses the same method to

communicate with the instrument regardless of the type of the instrument

interface (GPIB, USB, LAN/Ethernet, or RS232). The instrument communicating

with it via the GPIB, USB, LAN/Ethernet, or RS232 interface is called "Resource".

VISA descriptor is the resource name and describes the accurate name and

location of the VISA resource. If the LAN interface is currently used to

communicate with the instrument, the VISA descriptor is

TCPIP::172.18.8.41::INSTR.
