5 System Functions
System
HiSLIP Server
Turns the HiSLIP server capability On or Off, enabling you to limit SCPI access over LAN through the HiSLIP
server.
HiSLIP stands for High Speed LAN Instrument Protocol and is part of the IVI–6.1 specification.
Here is an example of a VISA connection string used to connect to the HiSLIP Server on an X-Series
Spectrum Analyzer:
TCPIP0::a-n9030a–93016::hislip0::INSTR
In the example above, hislip0 is the HiSLIP device name that VISA users must include in their HiSLIP VISA
Address strings. Your HiSLIP device name may be different depending on your VISA settings.

SCPI Socket Control Port (Remote Command Only)
Returns the TCP/IP port number of the control socket associated with the SCPI socket session. This query
enables you to obtain the unique port number to open when a device clear is to be sent to the instrument.
Every time a connection is made to the SCPI socket, the instrument creates a peer control socket. The port
number for this socket is random. The user must use this command to obtain the port number of the control
socket. To force a device clear on this socket, open the port and send the string “DCL ” to the instrument.
If this SCPI command is sent to a non SCPI Socket interface, then 0 is returned.
