Programming Fundamentals
Using the LAN to Control the Instrument
Emulated GPIB
Address
The SICL LAN server uses the GPIB name, GPIB logical unit number,
and GPIB address configuration on the SICL LAN client to
communicate with the client. You must match these parameters exactly
(including case) when you set up the SICL LAN client and server.
Configuring Your Instrument as a SICL LAN Server
After you have collected the required information from the SICL LAN
client, perform the following steps to set up your instrument as a SICL
LAN server:
1. Identify the emulated GPIB name is gpib7.
2. The emulated
3. The emulated

The following assumes a LAN connection between your computer and
your instrument. This will not work for the GPIB to LAN gateway.
1. Install VISA revision G.02.02 or higher.
2. Run I/O configuration.

to 8.
This can't be change. Numbers 0 through 30, excluding
21, are valid logical unit numbers for your instrument.
Logical unit number 21 is used for the instrument's
internal emulation mode. (If you are using Agilent VEE
and SICL LAN, the logical unit number is limited to the
range of 0-8.)
The emulated GPIB address (bus address) is assigned
to the device to be controlled using SICL LAN. The
instrument is shipped with the emulated GPIB address
set to 18. The emulated GPIB address will always be
18, regardless of what you set the GPIB address to.
