17.5.1 Remote control interfaces and protocols
The instrument supports different interfaces for remote control. The following table
gives an overview.
Table 17-1: Remote control interfaces and protocols
Interface Protocols, VISA address string Remarks
Local Area
Network
(LAN)
Protocol HiSLIP
VISA address string:
TCPIP::<host address>::
hislip0[,<port>][::INSTR]
Protocol VXI-11
VISA address string:
TCPIP::<host address>[::
inst0]::[INSTR]
The LAN connector is located on rear panel of the
instrument.
The interface is based on TCP/IP and supports vari-
ous protocols.
GPIB (IEC/
IEEE Bus
Interface)
VISA address string:
GPIB::primary address[::INSTR]
(no secondary address)
The GPIB bus interface according to standard IEC
625.1/IEEE 488.1 is located on the rear panel of the
instrument.
The GPIB bus interface requires option R&S RTE-
B10.
Within this interface description, the term GPIB is used as a synonym for the IEC/IEEE
bus interface.
17.5.1.1 LAN interface
To be integrated in a LAN, the instrument is equipped with a LAN interface, consisting
of a connector, a network interface card and protocols. The interface details are given
in the specifications.
For remote control via a network, the PC and the instrument must be connected via the
LAN interface to a common network with TCP/IP network protocol. They are connected
using a commercial RJ45 cable (shielded or unshielded twisted pair category 5). The
TCP/IP network protocol and the associated network services are preconfigured on the
instrument. Software for instrument control and the VISA program library must be
installed on the controller.
