Available Instruments
This section comprises a list of configured instruments. Each instrument is represented
by a "Symbolic Name" which is also displayed in the main panel and an "Instrument
Type". It is also displayed whether the instrument is activated in the R&S SGMA-GUI
and hence displayed in the main panel or not.
Remote command:
:INSTruments:COUNt?
:INSTruments:NAME
:INSTruments:TYPE
:INSTruments:ACTive[:STATe]
Scan
Triggers a scan function and searches for instruments connected to the remote com-
puter via all the available interfaces. During the scan process, a progress bar is dis-
played.
Tip: The first initialization of a newly connected instrument in a network and the instru-
ment's request to the DHCP server for an IP address may take some time. During this
time, the instrument does not respond to the query sent by the scan function. If the
instrument does not appear in the list of "Available Instruments", trigger the scan func-
tion again after some minutes.

Export
Opens the standard file save browser for saving the list of the available instruments in
a mapping file. The mapping files have the file extension .map so the filename typed in
is automatically equipped with this extension.
A mapping file provides a cross-reference between the instruments' symbolic names
and their respective remote control parameters. The information in the mapping file is
grouped in rows, where one row corresponds to one configured instrument. The rows
have the following structure:
<InstrumentType> <SymbolicName> <IP_Address/Hostname>
<RemoteChannel> <SerialNumber>
