777User Manual 1175.6632.02 ─ 30
TCPIP = designates the network protocol
host address = designates the IP address or hostname of the instrument
[::LAN device name] = defines the protocol and the instance number of a subinstrument
[::INSTR] = indicates the instrument resource class (optional)
The IP address (host address/computer name) is used by the programs to identify and
control the instrument. It is automatically assigned by the DHCP server the first time
the device is registered on the network. Alternatively, you can also assign its LAN
device name.
If assigned, the IP address is displayed on block diagram. You can adjust it manually
with the parameter the "System Config > Remote Access > Network" > IP AddressEna-
bling a locked user interface for manual operation.
The following section lists the characteristics of the VISA resource strings for the corre-
sponding interface protocols. The highlighted characters are crucial.
HiSLIP
hislip0
= HiSLIP device name, designates that the interface protocol HiSLIP is used (mandatory)
hislip0 is composed of [::HiSLIP device name[,HiSLIP port]] and must be
assigned.
For details of the HiSLIP protocol, refer to Chapter 13.2.1.2, "HiSLIP Protocol",
on page 778.
VXI-11
[::inst0]
= LAN device name, indicates that the VXI-11 protocol is used (optional)
inst0 currently selects the VXI-11 protocol by default and can be omitted.
For details of the VXI-11 protocol, refer to Chapter 13.2.1.2, "HiSLIP Protocol",
on page 778.
Socket communication
port
= determines the used port number
SOCKET = indicates the raw network socket resource class
Socket communication requires the specification of the port (commonly referred to as
port number) and of "SOCKET" to complete the VISA resource string with the associ-
ated protocol used.
The registered port for socket communication is port 5025.
