Socket communication
TCPIP::<IP address or hostname>::port::SOCKET
●
port determines the used port number
●
SOCKET indicates the raw network socket resource class
Socket communication requires the specification of the port (commonly referred
to as port number) and of "SOCKET" to complete the VISA resource string with
the associated protocol used.
The default port for socket communication is port 5025.
Example:
A power sensor has the IP address 10.111.11.20; the valid resource string using
VXI-11 protocol is:
TCPIP::10.111.11.20::INSTR
The DNS host name is nrp18sn-100001; the valid resource string is:
TCPIP::nrp18sn-100001::hislip0 (HiSLIP)
TCPIP::nrp18sn-100001::inst0 (VXI-11)
A raw socket connection can be established using:
TCPIP::10.111.11.20::5025::SOCKET
TCPIP::nrp18sn-100001::5025::SOCKET
