NRP2
146User Manual 1173.9140.02 ─ 07
In addition, the R&S NRP2 supports command sets of power meters from other manu-
facturers. Thus, it is possible for example, to conveniently replace a power meter by
the R&S NRP2.
Overview of the remote control interfaces
The following table gives a detailed overview on the supported interfaces.

*)
address string:
GPIB::primary
address[::INSTR]
(no secondary address)
The GPIB bus interface according to standard IEC 625.1/IEEE
488.1 is located at the rear panel of the instrument.
Define the address in the GPIB dialog box, described in chap-
ter 4.7.1.2, "GPIB settings", on page 148.
For a description of the interface refer to chapter A.2.1, "GPIB
Bus Interface"
, on page 355.
USB

*)
address string:
USB::<vendor
ID>::<product
ID>::<serial num-
ber>[::INSTR]
The instrument provides a USB connector at the rear panel.
Refer to chapter 4.7.1.3, "USB settings", on page 148.
For a description of the interface refer to chapter A.2.4, "USB
interface", on page 368.

address string:
TCPIP::host

A LAN connector is located at the rear panel of the instrument.
The interface is based on TCP/IP and supports VXI-11 proto-
col, see chapter 4.7.1.4, "VXI11 settings", on page 149 for set-
ting the IP address.
For description of the interface refer to
chapter A.2.2.1, "VXI11
protocol", on page 358.

address string:
TCPIP::host
address[::LAN device
name][::INSTR]
A LAN connector is located at the rear panel of the instrument.
The interface is based on TCP/IP and supports Ethernet,
socket communication, see chapter 4.7.1.5, "Raw Ethernet
(socket communication) settings", on page 150 for setting the
IP address.
For description of the interface refer to chapter A.2.2.2, "Con-
nection setup", on page 359.

) 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 over USB or LAN
when using VXI-11 protocol. However, no VISA installation is necessary to remote control while using
Ethernet (socket communication), see also chapter A.2.2.2, "Connection setup", on page 359.
4.7.1.1 Selecting the remote control interface
This section describes the configuration of the remote control interfaces.
For information on how to set up a remote control connection via the different interfa-
ces, see chapter 5.2, "Connecting a Controller to the Base Unit", on page 170.
For background information on the interfaces, see chapter A.2, "Remote control interfa-
ces"
, on page 354.
