• The socket and telnet port are then calculated from the HiSLIP index:
• telnet port = 60000 + 2 * <HiSLIP index>
• socket port = 60000 + 2 * <HiSLIP index> + 1
/NoAutoID : Do not automatically select ports and number for the
connections, use the values specified with /s, /t, /i, /r or their respective
default values instead. In Win7, /NoAutoID must be used before /s, /t, /i,
or /r. In Win10, /NoAutoID does not need to be specified before /s, /t, /i, or
/r.
If both /NoAutoID and /AutoID are specified, /AutoID overrides /NoAutoID.
Instructions
Instructions, both commands and queries, normally appear as strings
embedded in a statement of your host language, such as Visual Basic for
Applications (VBA), Visual Basic .NET, C#, C, etc.
The only time a parameter is not meant to be expressed as a string is when
the instruction's syntax definition specifies <binary_block _data>, such as
with the
:SYSTem:SET
command. There are only a few instructions that
use block data.
Instructions are composed of two main parts:
• The header, which specifies the command or query to be sent.
• The program data, which provides additional information to clarify the
meaning of the instruction.
Instruction Header
The instruction header is one or more command mnemonics separated by
colons (:). They represent the operation to be performed by the
oscilloscope. Queries are formed by adding a question mark (?) to the end
of the header. Many instructions can be used as either commands or
queries, depending on whether or not you include the question mark. The
command and query forms of an instruction usually have different program
data. Many queries do not use any program data.
NOTE
Ports may already be in use by Windows or other applications, so they
are not available for M8121A. The first port not assigned by IANA is
49152 (IANA, Internet Assigned Numbers Authority,
http://www.iana.org
).
