SPS5000X Series User Manual

Remote Control
The SPS5000X supports communication with a computer via USB, LAN, and GPIB-USB
interfaces using a SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) compliant
command set.
This chapter will introduce how to build a programming environment and explain the SCPI
commands supported by the SPS5000X.
Way to Control
Using NI-VISA
Users can realize remote control of the instrument by using NI-VISA of NI (National
Instrument Corporation). Regarding NI-VISA, there is a complete and real-time version
(Run-Time Engine version). The complete version includes NI device drivers and a tool
called NI MAX. NI MAX is a user interface used to control the device. The real-time version
is much smaller than the full version, and it only includes NI device drivers.
After installing NI-VISA, use a USB cable to connect the SPS5000X (via the USB Device
interface on the rear panel) to the computer, or use a network cable to connect the
SPS5000X (via the LAN interface on the rear panel) to the local area network where the
computer is located.
Based on NI-VISA, users can remotely control SPS5000X in two ways, one is through web
service; the other is custom programming combined with SCPI commands. For more
information, please refer to the programming examples.
Using Sockets
Users can also use Sockets to communicate with SPS5000X based on the TCP/IP protocol
through the network port. Socket communication is a basic communication technology of
computer networks, which allows applications to communicate through network hardware
