Setting Up Remote Control Connection
USB
The following shows the resource string format used when setting up a remote connec-
tion via the USB interface:
●
USB TMC
USB0::0x0AAD::
0x0197::5601.8002<device_variant>-<device_serial_number>::
INSTR
where k02 is used for NGA101 device, k03 is used for NGA141 device, k04
is used for NGA102 device, k05 is used for NGA142 device. (e.g.
USB0::0x0AAD::0x0197::5601.8002k05-900211::INSTR
)
●
USB VCP
ASRL<COM>::INSTR
, where "COM" refers to the COM port number shown on the
controlling PC. (e.g.
ASRL15::INSTR
)
LAN/WLAN
See
Chapter 6.13.1, "Network Connection"
on page 59 for configuring the LAN and
WLAN parameters.
To set up the connection the IP address of the instrument is required. It is part of the
resource string used by the program to identify and control the instrument. The
resource string has the form:
TCPIP::‹IP_address›::INST
Example: If the instrument has the IP address 192.1.2.3; the valid resource string is:
TCPIP::192.1.2.3::INST
High-Speed LAN Instrument Protocol (HiSLIP) is a TCP/IP-based protocol for remote
instrument control of LAN-based test and measurement instruments. It was specified
by the IVI Foundation and is intended to replace the older VXI-11 protocol. To start
remote control session with HiSLIP, the valid resource string is:
TCPIP::192.1.2.3::HISLIP
The end character must be set to line feed (LF).
Remote
Press [Remote] key to unlock the instrument from the remote control mode. In the
remotes mode, all front panel keys on the instrument are disabled and the [Remote]
key is illuminated. To switch back to the local mode, press [Remote] key to release the
remote control mode.
