Where:
●
OK
: communication possible, no collisions
*) the R&S SGMA-GUI always uses the LAN device name
instr1
ter 10.1.2.3, "VXI-11 Protocol"
●
X
: communication is not possible without collisions
●
viLock/viUnlock
: communication is only possible, if the remote control com-
mands are enclosed in a
viLock () - viUnlock()
pair.
The R&S SGMA-GUI uses the
viLock()/viUnlock()
functions.
The figure below shows an example of configuration where the monitor and the con-
troller are two different computers, connected to the same instrument over two different
hardware interfaces.
