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 Generators" 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" will only work for external devices sharing the same IP subnet
with the R&S
ZNA.
As a prerequisite, the R&S
ZNA 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 Gener-
ator" dialog opened, you can specify the properties of the new instrument and the con-
nection.
●
"Interface" selects an interface/protocol type for the connection. In addition to the
GPIB, VXI-11, SOCKET, and USB-VISA interface types (for devices connected to
the GPIB Bus, LAN or USB connectors of the analyzer; see
), the ana-
lyzer supports any "Other" interface supported by the installed VISA library.
●
"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
