You can only use one remote interface at a time. Although multiple ethernet connections to the
instrument can be opened, only one can be used to control the instrument at a time.
Raw socket:
Raw socket is a basic ethernet connection that communicates similarly to RS-232
without explicit message boundaries. The instrument will always terminate messages with a line feed,
but because binary data may include bytes that resemble line feed characters, it may be difficult to
distinguish between data and line feed characters.
VXI-11:
VXI-11 is similar to GPIB and supports message boundaries and service requests (SRQs). A
VXI-11 driver or VISA software is required. Test Script Builder (TSB) uses VISA and can be used with
the VXI-11 interface.
Telnet:
Telnet is similar to raw socket and is used when you need to interact directly with the
instrument, typically for debugging and troubleshooting. Telnet requires a separate telnet program.
