Keysight Connection Expert
The instrument should also be found by the Keysight Connection Expert (which is part of the Keysight
IO Libraries Suite), as shown in Figure 4.
With Keysight Connection Expert 2018, the steps to add a BIT-2100 to the “My Instruments” list are:
•
make sure the instrument is connected to the network properly
•
in the Keysight Connection Expert, click “+ Add”, then “LAN instrument”
•
select your BIT-2100 unit from the list, click “OK”
Once it is in the “My Instruments” list, you can select it, and determine the VISA address, send SCPI
commands, or access the instrument web interface.
The VISA address can either be for the socket protocol, or for the VXI-11 protocol:
•
Example for a socket address: “TCPIP::192.168.0.100::5025::SOCKET”
•
Example for a VXI-11 address: “TCPIP::192.168.0.100::inst0::INSTR”
Most applications should work with either of the two protocols. You can also replace the IP that is
encoded in the VISA address with the host name of the instrument.
