52 Keysight CXG, EXG, and MXG X-Series Signal Generators Programming Guide
Using IO Interfaces
Using LAN
— Standard mode. Available on port 5025. Use this port for simple
programming.
— TELNET mode. The telnet SCPI service is available on port 5024.
An example using sockets LAN is given in
of this programming guide.
Using Telnet LAN
Telnet provides a means of communicating with the signal generator over the
LAN. The Telnet client, run on a LAN connected computer, will create a login
session on the signal generator. A connection, established between computer
and signal generator, generates a user interface display screen with
SCPI>
prompts on the command line.
Using the Telnet protocol to send commands to the signal generator is similar
to communicating with the signal generator over GPIB. You establish a
connection with the signal generator and then send or receive information
using SCPI commands. Communication is interactive: one command at a time.
The following telnet LAN connections are discussed:
—
“Using Telnet On a PC With a Host/Port Setting Menu GUI” on page 53
—
“Using Telnet On a PC With a Command Prompt Interface” on page 53
—
“The Standard UNIX Telnet Command” on page 54
A Telnet example is provided in
“Unix Telnet Example” on page 56
The default telnet port is 5024. Telnet port 5023 is still available for
backwards compatibility. Refer to the SCPI Command Reference.
Some systems use a command prompt style interface for the Telnet client.
for an example of this interface.
For Windows XP and newer, use this section to better understand how to
use the signal generator with port settings. For more information, refer to
the help software of the IO libraries being used.
For Windows 7, Telnet functionality is disabled by default. To enable
Telnet, got to
Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn
Windows features on or off
and select the
Telnet Client
checkbox. Click
OK
and restart your PC.
