SYSTem:COMMunicate:NETWork[:COMMon]:HOSTname
<hostname>
Effective only for the R&S
NRP LAN power sensors.
Sets the individual hostname of the power sensor.
In a LAN that uses a DNS server (domain name system server), you can access each
connected instrument using a unique hostname instead of its IP address. The DNS
server translates the hostname to the IP address. Using a hostname is especially use-
ful if a DHCP server is used, as a new IP address can be assigned each time the
instrument is restarted.
The power sensor performs the change of the hostname immediately after the com-
mand is sent. For this purpose, the power sensor restarts its connection to the network,
which can take several seconds. During this time, you cannot address the power sen-
sor. After the restart, you can only address the power sensor using the newly set host-
name.
Note:
It is recommended that you do not change the default hostname to avoid prob-
lems with the network connection. However, if you change the hostname, be sure to
use a unique name.
Parameters:
<hostname>
Example:
SYST:COMM:NETW:COMM:HOST
'powersensor-2nd-floor'
Sets
powersensor-2nd-floor
