Executing SCPI Commands Over Telnet
Executing SCPI Commands Over Telnet
You can remotely control the modules by executing SCPI commands
through TCP/IP over Telnet. The commands are sent remotely from the
Telnet client (on a computer) to the Telnet server (in this case, the IQS,
FTB, or LTB unit).
To execute a single SCPI command, you can type or paste the command
directly in the Telnet editor window.
To execute multiple SCPI commands (script), you must enclose them
within a BEGIN and END block in the Telnet editor window.
You can connect from a remote Windows client or a Linux (or Unix)
remote client.
Note:
The Telnet client is available on the FTB-500, FTB-2 Pro, LTB-8, and IQS-600
controller if you intend to use these units as computers to connect to a
Telnet server. However, on an FTB-2 or an LTB-1, the Telnet client is not
available. You must use the PuTTY application to establish communication.
