USB Interface
For remote control via the USB connection, the PC and the instrument must be
connected via the USB type B interface. A USB connection requires the VISA
library to be installed. VISA detects and configures the R&S instrument automati-
cally when the USB connection is established. You do not have to enter an
address string or install a separate driver.
USB address
The used USB address string is:
USB::<vendor ID>::<product ID>::<serial number>[::INSTR]
where:
●
<vendor ID> is the vendor ID for Rohde & Schwarz (0x0AAD)
●
<product ID> is the product ID for the Rohde & Schwarz instrument
●
<serial number> is the individual serial number on the rear of the instrument
