Ethernet interface
The Ethernet interface of the R&S NRQ6 allows you to integrate it in a local area
network (LAN).
Requirements
● TCP/IP network protocol
The local area network must support the TCP/IP network protocol.
The TCP/IP network protocol and the associated network services are precon-
figured on the R&S NRQ6.
● VISA library
Installed on the computer.
● Software for device control
Installed on the computer.
Setup
1. Using the Ethernet interface, connect the computer and the R&S NRQ6 to a
local area network, see
on page 19.
2. Make sure that the R&S NRQ6 is powered by PoE+. For details, see
"R&S NRQ6 requires PoE+"
6.2.1
VISA resource strings
The VISA resource string is required to establish a communication session
between the controller and the power sensor in a LAN. The resource string is a
unique identifier, composed of the specific IP address of the sensor and some
network and VISA-specific keywords.
TCPIP::<IP address or hostname>[::<LAN device name>][::INSTR]
● TCPIP designates the network protocol used
● <IP address or hostname> is the IP address or host name of the device
● [::<LAN device name>] defines the protocol and the instance number of a sub-
instrument:
● [::INSTR] indicates the power sensors resource class (optional)
