Starting a remote control session over LAN with R&S VISA
To set the instrument to remote control, you can use the addressed command >R or
send any command from the controller.
1. Start the R&S VISA Tester. Establish the connection to the R&S SMW.
See "Setting up the controller with R&S VISA" on page 734.
2. In the R&S VISA "Basics" tab, enter an SCPI command, e.g. "*IDN?". Confirm with
"Query".
The instrument is switched to remote control when it receives a command from the
controller.
3. Select "Read" to obtain the instrument response.
Tip: If the "Show Log" checkbox is checked R&S VISA displays each VISA function
call in the log-view on the left. If you check the "Write Log" checkbox the log-view
entry is written to the log file as well. You can operate the log-view in two modes:
the "Live Mode" shows only the most recent messages whereas the "View Mode"
allows you to scroll the history.
4. To set, e.g. the frequency, enter SOUR1:FREQ 4 GHz and select "Write".
To check the performed setting, SOUR1:FREQ? and select "Query".
