2.2 Remote Control over LAN using VXI-11 Protocol
Refers to "Remote Control Basics" > "Switchover to Remote Control " > "Remote Con-
trol over LAN Interface". "Remote Control over LAN using VXI-11 Protocol"substitutes
the description of "Setting up Control of the R&S AFQ in the 'Measurement & Automa-
tion Control' Program" in the user manual.
Rohde & Schwarz provides the standardized I/O software library R&S VISA for com-
munication via TCP/IP (LAN: HiSlip, VXI-11 and raw socket) or USB (USBTMC) inter-
faces.
R&S VISA is available for download at the Rohde & Schwarz website
www.rohde-schwarz.com/rsvisa.
In this example, the R&S VISA software library is used to set up a LAN remote control
link and remotely control the R&S AFQ. R&S VISA is running on a controller PC with
Windows operating system. When the connection is set up you can send commands to
the instrument, and receive the responses.
The remote control connection requires a VISA installation but no additional hardware
on the controller PC. The LAN I/O channel is selected at initialization time using the
VISA resource string (also referred to as "address string"). A VISA alias (short name) is
used to replace the complete resource string. The host address is either the
R&S AFQ's hostname or IP address. See "Remote Control Basics" > "Switchover to
Remote Control " > "Remote Control via LAN Interface" in the user manual of the
R&S AFQ.
In this example, it is assumed that:
●
A LAN remote control link between the controller and the R&S AFQ is already set
up.
●
The R&S VISA program is installed on the remote PC, see
schwarz.com/rsvisa
Configuring the controller
To remote control the R&S AFQ, we use the R&S VISA Tester application.
