6.3.1.2 Communication
156
Before sending SCPI commands to the instrument, the Soft Front Panel
(AgM8195SFP.exe) must be started. This can be done in the Windows Start menu
(Start > All Programs > Keysight M8195 > Keysight M8195 Soft Front Panel).
(See Communication for details about /Socket, /Telnet, /Inst, /HiSLIP, /AutoID,
/NoAutoID, /FallBack).
Table 21: Command line arguments
Description
Set the socket port at which the Soft Front Panel waits for SCPI commands
Set the telnet port at which the Soft Front Panel waits for SCPI commands
Set the instrument number (instN, hislipN) at which the Soft Front Panel waits for SCPI commands on VXI-11.3
and HiSLIP connections (if not specified with /HiSLIP).
Set the instrument number for HiSLIP SCPI communication. If not specified, the same number as for VXI-11.3
is used.
Automatically select ports and numbers for the connections (default behavior).
Disable the default behavior; i.e. do not automatically select ports and numbers for the connections.
Try to find unused ports and number if starting a server fails.
Don't show the splash screen.
Start with the SFP window minimized to the Windows task bar.
Additional information shown in the SFP window title.
Set the output directory for the log file and temporary files.
Visa PXI resource string of the module to connect to, e.g. PXI12::0::0::INSTR. "auto" selects the next free
instrument.
Depending on the command line arguments /Socket, /Telnet, /Inst, /AutoID,
/NoAutoID, /FallBack, the Soft Front Panel starts several servers to handle SCPI
commands. (Refer to the table above.)
/Socket, /Telnet, /Inst, /HiSLIP: If -1, don't start the respective servers
Defaults:
 Socket port: 5025 (e.g. TCPIP0::localhost::5025::SOCKET)
 Telnet port: 5024

HiSLIP: 0 (e.g. TCPIP0::localhost::hislip0::INSTR)

VXI-11.3: 0 (e.g. TCPIP0::localhost::inst0::INSTR)
