Chapter 3 Remote Control
SSA3000X Series Spectrum Analyzer support LAN, USB Device, and GPIB--USB Host
interfaces. By using these interfaces, in combination with programming languages and/or
NI-VISA software, users can remotely control the analyzer based on SCPI (Standard
Commands for Programmable Instruments) command set, and interoperate with other
programmable instruments.
This chapter introduces how to build communication between the spectrum analyzer and a
controller computer with these interfaces.
3.1 Remotely Operating the Analyzer
The analyzer provides both the USB and LAN connection which allows you to set up a remote
operation environment with a controller computer. A controller computer could be a personal
computer (PC) or a minicomputer. Some intelligent instruments also function as controllers.
3.1.1 Connecting the Analyzer via the USB Device port
Refer to the following steps to finish the connection via USB-Device:
1. Install NI-VISA on your PC for USB-TMC driver.
2. Connect the analyzer USB Device port to a PC with a USB A-B cable.
3. Switch on the analyzer
The analyzer will be detected automatically as a new USB hardware.
3.1.2 Connecting the Analyzer via the LAN port
Refer to the following steps to finish the connection via LAN:
1. Install NI-VISA on your PC for VXI driver. Or without NI-VISA, using socket or telnet
in your PC’s Operating System.
2. Connect the analyzer to PC or the local area network with a LAN cable
