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" will send an identification query (*IDN?), causing the analyzer to close the
"External Switch Matrix" dialog (without executing "Scan Instruments") and to activate
the remote screen.
Remote command:
SYSTem:COMMunicate:RDEVice:SMATrix:SCAN?
LAN Detection
Activate "LAN Detection" to include the LAN interface in the autodetection sequence
(see
).
Note:
"LAN detection" will only work for external devices sharing the same 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
Opens the "Add External Switchmatrix" dialog that allows manual registration of an
external switch matrix.
In the "Address of New Instrument" part, you can specify the required connection prop-
erties:
●
"Interface" selects the connection type; currently only "LAN" is available.
●
"Address" specifies the IP address or hostname of the external switch matrix.
If a connection can be established, the entries in the [Driver for New Instrument] panel
can be auto-detected: "Identify" sends an identification query ("IDN?") to the specified
device address in order to get the type and serial number of the connected switch
matrix and to select the appropriate driver file.
Otherwise, manually select the "Driver". Matrix driver files (
*.matrix
) are stored in
the
Resources\ExtDev
subdirectory of the analyzer's program directory.
