You can connect to the analyzer from the remote computer using a USB cable.
Note: The PNA must have Firmware A.09.00 or higher. This is possible only with the PNA-X, N522x, N523x, or PNA 'C' models. The ENA is also supported.
This is done through the Keysight I/O Libraries which must be installed on your remote computer.
Measurement data transfers MUCH faster using USB as compared to GPIB.

Note: The analyzer is not a USB Mass Storage Device. Therefore, Windows Explorer does NOT recognize it as a USB device. You can NOT use Windows Explorer to transfer files to and from the analyzer. For file transfer, use the SCPI command MMEM:TRANsfer.
Alias name Change this to a name that is easy to recognize. Once configured, use the Alias name to communicate with the USB device using applications such as VISA and SICL:
VISA: viOpen (...,"UsbDevice1",...)
SICL:iopen ("UsbDevice1")
For more information, see the Connectivity Guide in the Keysight I/O libraries.
