8.5 Remote control of R&S SGMA-GUI
This section focuses on remote control of the R&S SGMA-GUI software. Also, all
remote-control commands are presented in detail with their parameters and the ranges
of numerical values.
Prerequisites for remote control of R&S SGMA-GUI
Remote control of R&S SGMA-GUI requires the following:
●
A remote PC is connected to the SGMA instrument.
●
The remote PC and the SGMA instrument are switched on.
●
A connection between remote PC and the SGMA instrument is established
●
The security setting "System Config > Setup > Security > SCPI over LAN" is
enabled.
For more information, see Chapter 3.13, "Connecting an external PC and devices",
on page 27.
For general information on remote control of Rohde & Schwarz products via SCPI,
refer to www.rohde-schwarz.com/rc-via-scpi.
8.5.1 Programming examples
The corresponding sections of the same title provide simple programming examples for
the R&S SGS. The purpose of the examples is to present all commands for a given
task. In real applications, one would rather reduce the examples to an appropriate sub-
set of commands.
The programming examples have been tested with a software tool which provides an
environment for the development and execution of remote tests. To keep the examples
as simple as possible, only the "clean" SCPI syntax elements are reported. Non-exe-
cutable command lines (for example comments) start with two characters //.
At the beginning of the most remote control programs, an instrument preset/reset is
recommended to set the R&S SGS to a definite state. The commands *RST and
SYSTem:PRESet are equivalent for this purpose. *CLS also resets the status registers
and clears the output buffer.
The programming examples address the following tasks:
●
Example "Searching for SGMA instruments" on page 84
●
Example "Scanning a subnet for SGMA instruments" on page 84
●
Example "Evaluating scan results" on page 84
