The following settings are used to configure the analyzer for remote control using SCPI commands.
HiSLIPHiSLIP has the same functionality as VXI 11 (SICL) with better performance. Therefore, it is enabled by default on the analyzer. HiSLIP Instrument Defined by bus, chassis and slot. For example: hislip_PXI0_CHASSIS1_SLOT5_INDEX0 VISA Address Showing both PXIe and HiSLIP address. For example: TCPIP0::System-02::hislip_PXI0_CHASSIS1_SLOT5_INDEX0::INSTR Legacy HiSLIP When checked, the VNA will also advertise itself using port TCPIP port 4880. You must configure your firewall to enable communication through this port. You can connect to the module and send SCPI commands by using the VISA address: For example, if your controller is named: myPC, then the TCPIP connection string would be: TCPIP0::myPC::hislip0::INSTR When running locally, then replace <PXI controller name> with "Localhost". For example: TCPIP0::Localhost::hislip0::INSTR Address 0 by default. No change is necessary. On the remote computer, use address string TCPIP0::<hostname>::hislip<address>. ("hislip" is case-sensitive). HiSLIP is available ONLY when the soft front panel has already been launched. LAN SocketsNote: M937xA and P937xA do not support this feature. Provides ability to communicate with the VNA from a PC that uses a Windows, or non-Windows, operating system.
Sockets Enabled: When checked,enables LAN sockets. LAN Sockets provide the ability to control the VNA from a remote SCPI program . Port Number: Set the LAN socket port number. SecurityEnable Remote Drive Access When checked allows access to the hard disk. The default is unchecked. When unchecked, hard disk access is blocked and any of the following commands will return an error: MMEM:CAT:FILE? MMEM:CAT:STAT? MMEM:CAT:CSTAte? MMEM:CAT:CSARchive? MMEM:CAT:CORRection? MMEM:CDIR? MMEM:COPY MMEM:DELete MMEM:MOVE MMEM:MDIRectory MMEM:RDIRectory MMEM:TRANsfer[?] SYST:SHORcut:EXECute SCPI Monitor / InputShow SCPI Parser Console Launches a window that is used to send single SCPI/GPIB commands from the analyzer keyboard. This window can also be used to capture the SCPI traffic used over HiSLIP.
IO Monitor enables monitoring activity on the remote control. Clicking on the Configure button accesses the IO Monitor Configuration dialog to enable/disable this function. Enabling the IO monitor provides detailed error message with debug information. Example of Error message:
Disabling the IO monitor increases measurement speed. |
