ter). The TCP/IP network protocol and the associated network services are preconfig-
ured on the instrument. Software for instrument control and the VISA program library
must be installed on the controller.
IP address
Only the IP address or a valid DNS host name is required to set up the connection.
The host address is part of the "VISA resource string" used by programs to identify and
control the instrument. The VISA resource string has the form:
TCPIP::<host address>::hislip0[,<port>][::INSTR] for HiSLIP protocol
TCPIP::<host address>[::inst0][::INSTR] for VXI-11 protocol
Where:
●
host address identifies the instrument in the network, usually the IP address. If
the LAN is supported by a DNS server, the host name can be used instead of the
IP address. The DNS server (Domain Name System server) translates the host
name to the IP address.
●
hislip0 indicates the HiSLIP protocol.
●
inst0 is the default LAN device name. VISA supports several devices running on
the instrument. On R&S MXO 4, only one device is configured, so the LAN device
name can be omitted.
●
INSTR specifies a VISA resource of the type INSTR. By default, the VISA resource
name control is set to the INSTR class.
Example: HiSLIP
IP address is 192.1.2.3: the valid resource string is: TCPIP::192.1.2.3::hislip0
Instrument name is RSRT1: the valid resource string is: TCPIP::RSRT1::hislip0.
DNS host name is MXO
4-123456: the valid resource string is:
TCPIP::MXO 4-123456::hislip0.
Example: VXI-11
IP address is 192.1.2.3: the valid resource string is: TCPIP::192.1.2.3
Instrument name is RSRT1: the valid resource string is: TCPIP::RSRT1.
DNS host name is MXO
4-123456: the valid resource string is:
TCPIP::MXO 4-123456.
16.4.2 Starting and stopping remote control
16.4.2.1 Starting a remote control session
When you switch on the instrument, it is always in manual operation state ("local"
state). It can be operated via the front panel, the touch screen and external keyboard
and/or mouse.
