HiSLIP protocol
The HiSLIP (High Speed LAN Instrument Protocol) is a protocol for TCP-based instru-
ments specified by the IVI foundation. Compared to its predecessor VXI-11, it provides
speed and other improvements. HiSLIP is encapsulated in VISA; the resource string
reads
TCPIP::<R&S ZNB/ZNBT IP address>::hislip0
.
The RS Visa library supports HiSLIP. If the connection fails, access the Windows con-
trol panel of the controlled instrument and open port 4880 for incoming connections.
7.1.1
Remote Control via USB
The instrument can be remote-controlled via USB. The VISA resource string for con-
trolling a device via USB has to be specified in the format
USB[board]::<Manufacturer ID>::<Device ID>::<Serial Number>::
INSTR
.
The
<Manufacturer ID>
of Rohde & Schwarz is
0x0AAD
, the
<Device ID>
is
model-specific:

Starting a Remote Control Session
A remote control program must open a connection to the analyzer (using VISA func-
tionality), before it can send commands to the analyzer and receive device responses
(e.g. measurement data). The programming details depend on the library version used
and on the programming language. For this reason, the examples in chapters "Com-
mand Reference" and "Programming Examples" are reduced to the mere SCPI syntax.
