AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator Programmer Manual
C-1
Appendix C: Network Interface Specification
The waveform generator supports remote control with the Ethernet interface.
This Appendix describes the network interface specification.
TCP/IP is used as the network protocol, and the port number is fixed as 4000.
Commands can be sent from the application program through the TCP/IP socket
interface, and queries can be received through the interface.
The following lists the differences between the GPIB interface and the Ethernet
interface.
H
The Line Feed (LF) code is needed as a terminator at the end of a message.
H
The IEEE 488.1 standard (for instance, Device Clear, Service Request, etc.)
is not supported.
H
The Message Exchange Control Protocol in the IEEE 488.2 is not supported.
However, common commands such as *ESE and the event handling features
are supported.
H
The Indefinite format (the block start at #0) in the <ARBITRARY BLOCK
PROGRAM DATA> of the IEEE 488.2 is not supported.
For detailed information about the programming, refer to the Sample Programs
disk supplied with this waveform generator.
