Build Communications Using Sockets/Telnet
Through the LAN interface, VXI-11, Sockets and Telnet protocols can be used to
communicate with the SSG. VXI-11 is provided in NI-VISA, while Sockets and Telnet are
commonly included in the operating system (OS) of many computers.
Socket LAN is a method used to communicate with the signal generator over the LAN
interface using the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). A socket is a
fundamental technology used for computer networking and allows applications to
communicate using standard mechanisms built into network hardware and operating
systems. The method accesses a port on the signal generator from which bidirectional
communication with a network computer can be established.
Before you can u
se sockets LAN, you must select the signal generator’s sockets port
number to use:
⚫
Standard mode:
Available on port 5025. Use this port for programming.
⚫
Telnet mode:
