The following symbols (greyed out for
used
devices) indicate the status of the respec-
tive device:
●
–
The device is online (connected, switched on, ready to be used).
●
–
This state can be caused by different problems:
–
General communication error
In this case, check whether the device is properly connected to the configured
interface.
–
Selft test error
In this case enable error logging for external devices (see
for self test error codes of the
device.
●
–
The device driver doesn't match exactly the device type. Probably the device
cannot be controlled properly. Measurements results are questionable.
Remote command:
SYSTem:COMMunicate:RDEVice:PMETer<Pmtr>:DEFine

Scan Instruments
Performs an autodetection of "Known Devices" on the supported interfaces.
Note:
Unintentional switchover to remote control
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 Power Meters" 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
ZNB/ZNBT.
As a prerequisite, the R&S
ZNB/ZNBT 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 Power
Meter" dialog, you can specify the instrument and connection properties:
●
"Interface" selects an interface/protocol type for the connection. In addition to the
GPIB, VXI-11 and SOCKET interface types (for devices connected to the GPIB
Bus or LAN connectors on the rear panel of the analyzer, respectively; see
), the analyzer supports any "Other" interface supported by the installed
Setup Softtool
