Control from a program (using port 5025)
When controlling the E5052A from a program on the external controller, use the socket of
port 5025 for connection.
NOTE Some functions such as service requests that are available in the GPIB remote control
system are not available in control over the telnet server.
Control using C or Visual Basic
You can control the E5052A by socket programming using the C language in the UNIX
environment, or Visual C++ or Visual Basic in the Windows environment.
For socket programming, the library for network connection on the TCP/IP protocol is
required. For the UNIX environment, BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) Sockets API
is available; for the Windows environment, WinSock (WinSock1.1 and WinSock2.0),
created by porting BSD Sockets to Windows and expanding it, is available.
Control using Agilent VEE
Agilent VEE allows you to control the E5052A through the connection to the socket of port
5025 by using the To/From Socket. Figure 2-5 shows an example (when the IP address of
the E5052A is 192.168.0.1). Enter 5025 in the field to specify the port for connection (1 in
Figure 2-5) and enter the IP address or host name of the E5052A in the field to specify the
host name (2 in Figure 2-5).
