You can use the IECWIN to try out the programming examples provided in the
R&S
ZNL/ZNLE User Manuals.
Starting IECWIN
IECWIN is available from the Windows "Start" menu on the R&S
ZNL/ZNLE, or by exe-
cuting the following file:
C:\Program Files\Rohde-Schwarz\Vector Network Analyzer\ZNL\
iecwin32.exe
You can also copy the program to any Windows PC or laptop. Simply copy the
iecwin32.exe
,
iecwin.chm
and
rsib32.dll
files from the location above to the
same folder on the target computer.
When the tool is started, a "Connection settings" dialog box is displayed. Define the
connection from the computer the IECWIN tool is installed on to the R&S
ZNL/ZNLE
you want to control. If you are using the tool directly on the R&S
ZNL/ZNLE, you can
use an NT Pipe (COM Parser) connection, which requires no further configuration. For
help on setting up other connection types, check the tool's online help (by clicking the
"Help" button in the dialog box).
The IECWIN offers an online help with extensive information on how to work with the
tool.

Hierarchy of status registers

, the status information is of hierarchi-
cal structure.
●
STB, SRE:
The STatus Byte (STB) register and its associated mask register Service Request
Enable (SRE) make up the highest level of the status reporting system. The STB
provides a rough overview of the instrument status, collecting the information of the
lower-level registers.
●
The STB receives its information from:
