Controlling the Analyzer via the LAN
Entering Commands Directly with Telnet
Entering Commands Directly with
Telnet
Before connecting to your analyzer using telnet, you must have
connected and configured your analyzer as described in Chapter 1,
“Connecting and Configuring the Analyzer.”
Using telnet to send commands to your analyzer works in a similar way
to communicating over GPIB; you establish a connection with the
analyzer, and then send or receive information using SCPI commands.
NOTE If you need to control the GPIB using “device clear” or SRQ’s, you can use
SICL LAN. SICL LAN provides control of your analyzer via GPIB over
the LAN. See “Controlling the Analyzer using SICL LAN” on page 6-42.
The syntax of the telnet command is
telnet <hostname>
or
telnet <IP address>
NOTE You must have an entry in your HOSTS file for your analyzer in order to
specify your analyzer by name in a telnet command. Alternately, you
can enter the IP address directly in the telnet command, in place of the
analyzer name. See “Using a Local HOSTS File” on page 7-11 for details.
For example, type
telnet 15.4.45.255
A brief message appears confirming the connection, and tells you the
escape sequence for breaking the connection:
Trying...
Connected to 15.4.45.255.
Escape character is '^]'.
