A.2 Ethernet
For remote control via a TCP/IP-based LAN, the R&S NRP2 can be fitted with an optional
10/100BaseT Ethernet interface (option R&S NRP2-B4). The female connector is located
on the rear panel of the R&S NRP2. Via this interface, a controller can remote-control the
R&S NRP2 by means of the power meter's SCPI commands, using the VXI11 protocol
(TCP/IP instrument protocol specification), version 1.0, released on July 17, 1995 by the
VXIbus Consortium.
