On the basis of how they are defined in the IEEE 488.2 and SCPI standards:
–
Common commands
are precisely defined with regard to their function
and syntax in the IEEE 488.2 standard. These commands are identical for
all instruments, and they refer to functions such as the management of the
standardized status register, resetting and self-testing.
–
Instrument-dependent commands
are for functions that depend on the
characteristics of the specific instrument, such as frequency setting. Many
of these commands have also been standardized by the SCPI Consortium.
Such commands are labeled "SCPI compliant" in the command reference.
Commands without the SCPI label are instrument-dependent, however,
their syntax follows the SCPI rules, as allowed by the standard.
Responses
are messages that the instrument transmits to the controller after a
query command. Responses contain measurement results, instrument settings or
status information on the instrument.
You will find detailed descriptions of the commands for controlling the R&S
ZN-
chapter 5.2, "Remote Control – Commands"
5.1.1.2
USB Interface
For remote control via the USB bus, connect the controller (master) to the
R&S
ZN-Z84's type B USB interface.
Instrument control requires the generic
USBBULK.dll
and the instrument-spe-
cific
znz8x_dll.dll
. These are part of the R&S ZNx firmware and are also
that can be found on the complementary CD.
USB address
To establish a USB connection, you need
●
the
vendor ID
0x0AAD
(for Rohde
&
Schwarz)
●
the R&S
ZN-Z84's
product ID
0x011B
and
●
the instrument's 6-digit serial number (see mini display or label on the back of
the instrument)
