ning on a controller PC with Windows operating system. When the connection is set up
you can send commands to the instrument and receive the responses.
The remote control connection requires a VISA installation but no additional hardware
on the controller PC. The LAN I/O channel is selected at initialization time using the
VISA resource string (also referred to as "address string"). A VISA alias (short name) is
used to replace the complete resource string. The host address is the R&S SMW's
hostname or its IP address.
See also Chapter 12.2.1, "LAN Interface", on page 705.
In this following, we assume that:
●
A LAN remote control link between the controller and the R&S SMW is set up.
●
The R&S VISA program is installed on the remote PC
See http://www.rohde-schwarz.com/rsvisa > "RS VISA Release Notes".
Setting up the controller with R&S VISA
To remote control the R&S SMW, we use the R&S VISA Tester application. The appli-
cation communicates via TCP/IP protocol.
The instrument is preconfigured for networks using DHCP (dynamic host configuration
protocol). If this configuration is used, enter the computer name in the position of the IP
address.
1. Connect the controller and the instrument in the same network (network cable) and
switch them on.
2. On the controller, start "R&S VISA > Tester 32bit" or "R&S VISA > Tester 64bit".
