R&S
VISA establishes the connection to the R&S
AFQ.
Now you can send settings to configure the instrument and receive its responses.
Note:
If the connection cannot be set up, R&S
VISA displays an error in the log
view.
Check whether the controller and the instrument are connected to the network (net-
work cable) and switched on. Correct spelling of the IP address or the computer
name can also be checked. For further error location, inform the network adminis-
trator. In large networks, specification of additional addresses may be required for
link setup, e.g. gateway and subnet mask, which are known to the network admin-
istrator.
For further information on the functions to read and write to an open session, as
well as the utility applications the software provides, see the R&S
VISA User Man-
ual.
