Configuring Your Analyzer as a SICL LAN Server

Programming Fundamentals

Using the LAN to Control the Analyzer

Emulated GPIB

Address The emulated GPIB address (bus address) is assigned to the device to be controlled using SICL LAN. The emulated GPIB address is automatically set to be the same as the current GPIB address. The instrument is shipped with the emulated GPIB address set to 18.

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 Analyzer 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 analyzer as a SICL LAN server:

1.Identify the GPIB name.

Press System, Config I/O, SICL Server, Emulated GPIB Name, and notice that it is gpib7.

2.Notice that the Emulated GPIB Logical Unit is set to 8.

3.Notice that the Emulated GPIB Address is set the same as the GPIB address.

Configuring Your PC as a SICL LAN Client

The descriptions here are based on Agilent’s VISA revision G.02.02, model number 2094G. A copy of Agilent’s VISA can be found by following these steps:

1.Access the following Agilent website: http://www.agilent.com/find/hpvee.

2.Look under “Vee Support, Instrument Drivers.”

These descriptions assume a LAN connection between your computer and network analyzer. They are not written for the GPIB to LAN gateway.

2.Run I/O configuration.

3.Select LAN Client from the available interface types.

4.Press Configure.
