2.4 How to use the Instrument
22
In order to use the instrument:
1.
If you use a PCIe link to control the M8195A, the AXIe chassis must be
switched on before you start the PC. If you use an USB link to control the
M8195A, it's not mandatory that the AXIe chassis is powered and has
booted prior to turn-on the PC.
2.
Start the
M8195A Soft Front Panel
M8195 > Keysight M8195 Soft Front Panel). The user interface will display
the VISA resource strings for different kinds of connection.
3.
Using the appropriate VISA resource string you can:
−
Start the Soft Front Panel (Start > All Programs > Keysight M8195 >
Keysight M8195 Soft Front Panel).
−
Control the instrument with your own application using the M8195 IVI
Drivers or add it as a LAN instrument in the Keysight Connection
Expert (TCPIP0::localhost::...) and control it using SCPI (with e.g. the
VISA Assistant or your own application).
You must start the M8195A Soft Front Panel in order to send SCPI commands to the
instrument.
The M8195 IVI Drivers start the M8195A Soft Front Panel automatically.
