4.1.1 Remote Control Interfaces and Protocols
The instrument supports different interfaces for remote control. The following table
gives an overview.

A LAN connector is located on the rear panel of the instrument.
The interface is based on TCP/IP and supports various proto-
cols.
For a description of the protocols refer to:
●
HiSLIP Protocol

(no secondary address)
A GPIB bus interface according to the IEC 625.1/IEEE 488.1
standard is located on the rear panel of the instrument.
For a description of the interface refer to Chapter 4.1.1.4,
"GPIB Interface (IEC 625/IEEE 418 Bus Interface)",
on page 572.
*
) VISA is a standardized software interface library providing input and output functions to communicate
with instruments. A VISA installation on the controller is a prerequisite for remote control using the indica-
ted interfaces (see also Chapter 4.1.1.1, "VISA Libraries", on page 567).
Within this interface description, the term GPIB is used as a synonym for the IEC/IEEE
bus interface.
