When using the NI-VISA library, ensure that the network analyzer itself is not listed as
a network device in the Measurement & Automation Explorer. Otherwise, "Scan Instru-
ments" initiates an identification query (
*IDN?
), causing the analyzer to close the
"External Power Meters" dialog (without executing "Scan Instruments") and to activate
the remote screen.
Remote command:
n/a
LAN Detection
Activate "LAN Detection" to include the LAN interface in the autodetection sequence
(see
).
Note:
"LAN detection" only works for external devices on the IP subnet with the
R&S
ZNB/ZNBT.
As a prerequisite, the R&S
ZNB/ZNBT must accept incoming connections on UDP port
2473. If necessary, add a corresponding inbound rule to your firewall settings.
Remote command:
n/a
Add Device
Adds a new instrument to the list of "Configured Devices".
In the "Add External Power Meter" dialog, you can specify the instrument and connec-
tion properties:
●
"Interface" selects an interface/protocol type for the connection. In addition to the
GPIB, VXI-11 and SOCKET interface types, the analyzer accepts any "Other" inter-
face supported by the installed VISA library.
–
GPIB, VXI-11 and SOCKET is applicable for devices connected to the GPIB
Bus or LAN connectors on the rear panel of the analyzer, respectively.
–
"Other" is used in particular for USB connections, e.g. for auto-detected
R&S
NRP-Zxx sensors.
●
"Address" contains the address for the current interface type. GPIB addresses
must be unique for all devices connected to the GPIB bus (range: 0 to 30), GPIB
and IP addresses must agree with the entries in the VISA library. The remaining
interface types require composite address formats; see
