Resetting the R&S Spectrum Rider
Manual operation is designed for maximum possible operating convenience. In con-
trast, the priority of remote control is the "predictability" of the device status. Therefore,
control programs should always define an initial device status (e.g. with the command
*RST) and then implement the required settings.
13.1.1
LAN Interface
To be integrated in a LAN, the instrument is equipped with a standard LAN interface,
consisting of a connector, a network interface and protocols (VXI-11).
Instrument access via VXI-11 is usually achieved from high level programming plat-
forms by using VISA as an intermediate abstraction layer. VISA encapsulates the low
level VXI-11 (LAN) or USB function calls and thus makes the transport interface trans-
parent for the user. The necessary VISA library is available as a separate product. For
details, contact your local R&S sales representative.
13.1.2
USB Interface
For remote control via the USB connection, the PC and the instrument must be con-
nected via the USB interface. The required driver comes with the R&S InstrumentView
software package and is automatically installed on the PC with the software package.
The driver addressed the instrument via the USB interface with the fix IP address
172.16.10.10.
In addition, a remote control connection via the SCPI interface requires the VISA
library to be installed on the PC.
