The Leveling Tool uses a LAN connection operate the VNA (read/write settings, query
results). To add support for the VDI Erickson power meters, the Leveling Tool installs a
suitable power meter driver on the VNA and sets up an external power meter connec-
tion using this driver. The Leveling Tool acts as an adapter between the higher-level
power meter interface specified by the driver file, and the low-level serial interface of
the VDI Erickson power meters.
Remote control of a PMx requires a LAN connection between VNA and the Leveling
Tool PC. USB and GPIB are only supported for VNA remote control.
