Addressing Instruments with

SICL

Installing the E5810

Installing and Configuring the Agilent IO Libraries Suite

SICL addresses include the IP address or hostname of your E5810 as well as the SICL address of the device on the E5810, and optionally the protocol to be used. Some example addresses for SICL programs follow. These examples assume that the SICL interface ID of your TCPIP interface is “lan”. (You can specify this interface ID with the Connection Expert utility; “lan” is the default SICL ID for the default TCPIP0 interface.)

lan[my_IP_Address]:gpib0,22 lan;vxi-11[my_IP_Address]:gpib0,22 lan[my_IP_Address]:COM1,488 lan;sicl-lan[my_IP_Address]:gpib0,11

NOTE

At the time of this writing, National Instruments I/O software does not support the SICL-LAN protocol, but only the VXI-11 protocol. Because RS-232 instruments are only supported by SICL-LAN and not VXI-11, you cannot use National Instruments I/O software to program an RS-232 instrument on your E5810.
