  • Page 5: Programming Overview

    SIGLENT 1. Programming Overview The SSG5000X supports both USB and LAN interfaces. By using these interfaces, in combination with NI-VISA and programming languages, users can remotely control the signal generator. The instrument comes with an embedded web interface; VXI-11, Sockets and Telnet protocols can be used to communicate with the signal generator. This chapter introduces how to build communication between the signal generator and the PC.

  • Page 7 SIGLENT Set the install path, default path is “C:\Program Files\National Instruments\”, you can change it. Click Next, dialog shown as above. d. Click Next twice, in the License Agreement dialog, select the “I accept the above 2 License Agreement(s).”, and click Next, “Start Installation” dialog shown. e.
  • Page 8 SIGLENT Now the installation is complete, reboot your PC. 2. Connect the Instrument Depending on your specific model, your signal generator may be able to communicate with a PC through the USB or LAN interface. This manual uses the USB connection in the examples.

  • Page 9: Build Communication Using Sockets

    SIGLENT 1.1.2 Build Communication Using Sockets LAN communication using Sockets uses the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) layer that is included with many operating systems. A socket is a fundamental technology used for computer networking and allows applications to communicate using standard mechanisms built into network hardware and operating systems.

  • Page 10: Remote Control Capabilities

    SIGLENT 1.2 Remote Control Capabilities 1.2.1 User-defined Programming Users can use SCPI commands to program and control the signal generator. For details, refer to the introductions in “Programming Examples”. 1.2.2 Send SCPI Commands via NI-MAX Users can control the signal generator remotely by sending SCPI commands via NI- MAX software.
  • Page 11 SIGLENT NOTE: The “*IDN?” command (known as the Identification Query) returns the instrument manufacturer, instrument model, serial number, and other identification information. 1.2.2.2 Using LAN Add a Network Device, and select a VISA TCP/IP Resource as shown: Run NI MAX software. 1.

    SIGLENT 2. SCPI Overview 2.1 Command Format SCPI commands present a hierarchical tree structure containing multiple subsystems; each of the subsystems is made up of a root keyword and several sub keywords. The command string usually starts with a colon “:”, the keywords are separated by a colon “:”...

  • Page 16: Parameter Type

    SIGLENT The content in the square brackets can be ignored. When the parameter is ignored, the instrument will set the parameter to its default. For example, In the “[:SOURce]:POWer?” command, sending either of the commands below can generate the same effect: :SOURce:POWer? :POWer? 3.
  • Page 17 SIGLENT For example: [:SOURce]:SWEep:STATe OFF|FREQuency|LEVel|LEV_FREQ Valid parameters are “OFF”, “FREQuency”, “LEVel” or LEV_FREQ. 3. Integer Except other notes, the parameter can be any integer within the effective value range. For example: [:SOURce]:SWEep:STEP:POINts <value> The parameter <value> can be set to any integer between 2 and 65535. 4.

  • Page 18: Command Abbreviation

    SIGLENT 2.4 Command Abbreviation All of the commands are not case sensitive, so you can use any of them. But if an abbreviation is used, all the capital letters in the command must be written completely. For example: :CORRection:FLATness:COUNt? Can be abbreviated to: :CORR:FLAT:COUN? 18 SSG5000X Programming Guide...
