●
<product ID> is the product identification of the R&S instrument
●
<serial number> is the individual serial number on the rear of the instrument
●
[::INSTR] indicates the instrument resource class (optional)
You can retrieve the PCIe resource string from the "SGMA-GUI > Instrument Name >
Setup > Remote" dialog.
Example:
PCIe::0x162f::0x132e::100021::INSTR
0x162f is the vendor ID for Rohde & Schwarz.
0x132e is the product ID for the R&S SGS.
100021 is the serial number of the particular instrument.
12.1.5 GPIB interface (IEC/IEEE bus interface)
The R&S SGS is not equipped with an IEC/IEEE bus interface.
To be able to control the instrument via the GPIB bus:
1. Connect a GPIB-to-LAN or a GPIB-to-USB adapter to the instrument.
2. Use a GPIB bus cable to connect the instrument and the controller.
3. Provide the GPIB bus card, the card drivers and the program libraries for the pro-
gramming language in the controller.
4. In the "SGMA-GUI > Setup > Instruments > instrument name > Remote Control",
set the "GPIB Address".
See "GPIB Address" on page 66.
5. If the controller has several GPIB bus cards, define the used "Board Number".
GPIB address
The controller must address the instrument with the GPIB bus channel. GPIB provides
channel addresses from 0 to 30.
The GPIB resource string is GPIB::<address>[::INSTR], where:
●
GPIB denotes the used interface.
●
<address> indicates the used channel.
●
[::INSTR] indicates the instrument resource class (optional).
Note: If the VISA implementation supports the GPIB interface, you can optionally
define the VISA instrument control resource (INSTR). It is used to define the basic
operations and attributes for a device, such as reading, writing, or triggering.
Any connected IEC bus cable must be terminated by an instrument or controller.
