Controlling the Analyzer using SICL LAN
Collecting SICL LAN Setup Information
Before you set up your analyzer as a SICL LAN server, you will need to
collect some information about your HP VISA/SICL LAN client
application. Record the following parameters from your HP VISA/SICL
LAN client application after you have set it up:
GPIB name The GPIB name is the name given to
a device used to communicate with
the analyzer. hpib and gpib are
typical GPIB names. Your analyzer is
shipped with gpib as the GPIB
name. The GPIB name is the same as
the remote SICL address.
GPIB logical unit The logical unit number is a unique
integer assigned to the device to be
controlled using SICL LAN. Your
analyzer is shipped with the logical
unit number set to 7.
Numbers 0 through 30, excluding 21,
are valid logical unit numbers for
your analyzer. Logical unit number
21 is used for the analyzer’s internal
emulation mode. (If you are using HP
VEE and SICL LAN, the logical unit
number is limited to the range of 0-8.)
GPIB device address The device address is the GPIB
device address (bus address) assigned
to the device to be controlled using
SICL LAN. Your analyzer is shipped
with the GPIB device address set to
18. You can enter any address from 0
to 1024 as an GPIB address.
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 when you set
up the SICL LAN client and server.
