Select the communication port for your LCA SCPI interface,
either the LAN socket port 5026 or the USB device port. Run
the Agilent.LCA.SCPI.Config.exe program or click on the LCA
SCPI Configuration shortcut on the network analyzer macro
list to select the preferred port. The LCA SCPI talker/listener
runs on the socket port 5026 by default. The port is not
selectable to avoid conflicts with the network analyzer SCPI
interface, which runs on port 5025.
For support purposes, you may turn the logging on or off. The
logging stores all program outputs into a file. Note: it may fill
up your hard disk if you
run the SCPI interface in logging mode for a long time.
When done with configuration, click the “Save Config” button
to store all settings. After saving the settings, the LCA SCPI
module will adopt the modified configuration when you click
on the “Start SCPI” button.
Configuration
All LCA modules require the network analyzer application. It
should always start after a system reboot automatically. If the
network analyzer is not running, please start it manually.
Like all other LCA modules, the LCA SCPI module does not
start automatically. You have to start it manually. Use the
Agilent.LCA.SCPI.Conf.exe program to start or stop the LCA
SCPI interface. To launch this program, you may either use
the LCA SCPI link in the network analyzer GUI macro list
under utilities, or the shortcut LCA SCPI Interface on the
desktop or in the program menu.
