hostname = <instrument name><serial number>
●
<serial number> is the individual serial number of the instrument.
●
<instrument name> is the complete name of the instrument, written without
spaces.
To query the hostname of the instrument
1. Find the individual serial number on rear of the instrument, e.g. 100021.

5.5.4 Bidirectional instrument identification

In practice, instruments are integrated into a large network or placed in racks together
with several other instruments of the same kind. It can be difficult to find out, which of
the instruments configured in the R&S SGMA-GUI corresponds to which physical
instrument. Also, localizing all instruments operated by the current controller.
The R&S SGMA-GUI and the instrument provide the "Device Identification" function for
this purpose.
To find an instrument in the R&S SGMA-GUI
► If you activate several instruments in the R&S SGMA-GUI, press the [ID] key on
the instrument's front panel to trigger device identification.
The "Edit Instrument" dialog of this instrument opens.
Field "Edit Instrument > Symbolic Name" displays the name of the instrument as
shown in the R&S SGMA-GUI main panel.
