Health and usage monitoring service (HUMS)
Option R&S
ZNA-K980
The R&S
ZNA comes with a health and utilization monitoring system (HUMS) providing
information about the R&S
ZNA. Aim is to increase the overall utilization, to avoid
downtime and to increase the overall security level of a fleet of instruments.
HUMS provides, for example, information about:
●
Health status
●
Characteristics (device footprint)
●
Operation system / security patches
●
Usage of options
●
Calibration and service information
Interfaces and protocols
The HUMS installation on the R&S
ZNA includes an SNMP agent and a REST service
with HTTP endpoints. So you can access the health and usage information via LAN,
using the SNMP protocol or the REST protocol. Accessing the data does not interfere
with remote control via SCPI commands or with measurement execution.
Reference information for both protocols is available on the R&S
ZNA at the address
http://<instrument>/api/hums/v1/documents?name=<interface>
.
For
<instrument>
, enter the hostname or the IP address of your instrument, as for
access to the GUI.
For
<interface>
=
snmp
, you get a
.zip
file containing the MIB files for SNMP. For
<interface>
=
rest
, you get a web page with the OpenAPI specification of the REST
API.
For further information about the HUMS service itself, see the R&S HUMS user man-
ual.
