11.2.2.1 USB resource string
The resource string represents an addressing scheme that is used to establish a com-
munication session with the instrument. It is based on the instrument address and
some instrument- and vendor-specific information.
The USB resource string syntax is as follows:
USB::<vendor ID>::<product ID>::<serial number>[::INSTR]
USB
= denotes the used interface
<vendor ID> = is the manufacturer ID for Rohde & Schwarz
<product ID> = is the product identification of the instrument
<serial number> = is the individual serial number at the rear of the instrument
[::INSTR] = indicates the instrument resource class (optional)
To set the USB resource string, see Remote access settings.
Example:
USB::0x0AAD::0x01DE::100001::INSTR
0x0AAD is the vendor ID for Rohde & Schwarz.
0x01DE is the product ID for the R&S SMB100B
100001 is the serial number of the particular instrument.
11.2.2.2 RS232 resource string
The RS232 resource string represents the addressing scheme for a device connected
to the serial interface of the instrument.
The USB resource string syntax is as follows:
ASRL<port number>[::INSTR]
ASRL is the name of the serial interface
<port number> is the number of the serial interface
Example:
ASRL1::INSTR
11.2.3 GPIB interface (IEC/IEEE bus interface)
To control the R&S SMB100B over the GPIB bus, the instrument and the controller PC
must be connected with a GPIB bus cable. A GPIB bus card, the card drivers and the
program libraries for the used programming language must be installed on the control-
ler.
For description of the characteristics, control commands and messages of the GPIB
interface, refer to Remote control via SCPI.
