LAN
SICL LAN is a LAN protocol using the Standard Instrument Control
Library (SICL). It provides control of your analyzer over the LAN, using
a variety of computing platforms, I/O interfaces, and operating systems.
With SICL LAN, you control your remote analyzer over the LAN with the
same methods you use for a local analyzer connected directly to the
controller with the GPIB.
Your analyzer implements a SICL LAN server. To control the analyzer,
you need a SICL LAN client application running on a computer or
workstation that is connected to the analyzer over a LAN. Typical
applications implementing a SICL LAN client include:
• HP VEE
• HP BASIC
• National Instrument’s LabView with HP VISA/SICL client drivers
NOTE The SICL LAN protocol is Agilent’s implementation of the VXI-11
Instrument Protocol, defined by the VXIbus Consortium working group.
At the time of the publication of this manual, National Instruments’
VISA does not support the VXI-11 Instrument Protocol. However, future
revisions of National Instruments’ VISA will support the VX-11 protocol.
Contact National Instruments for their release date.
SICL LAN can be used with Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, and
HP-UX.
