GPIB address
The controller PC addresses the instrument with the GPIB bus channel, see Chap-
ter 11.5.3, "GPIB address settings", on page 291. GPIB provides channel addresses
from 0 to 30.
The GPIB resource string syntax is as follows:
GPIB:://<channel>[::INSTR]
GPIB
= denotes the used interface
<channel address> = 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.
Example:
GPIB::28::INSTR
28 is the selected GPIB bus channel
11.2.4 LXI browser interface
The LXI browser interface allows easy configuration of the LAN and remote control of
the R&S SMB100B without additional installation requirements. The instrument's LXI
browser interface works correctly with all W3C compliant browsers.
See Chapter 11.15.1, "LXI functionality", on page 346 for more about LXI.
The LAN settings are configured using the instrument's LXI browser interface descri-
bed in Chapter 11.6.2.1, "LAN configuration", on page 309.
11.3 Remote control programs and libraries
This section shows how the remote-control programs access the instrument, and the
libraries they require for the corresponding interface protocols.
