The Analyzer can be programmed using:
•IVI-C driver;
•IVI.NET driver;
•LabView driver;
•SCPI commands.
This section describes SCPI command set of the Analyzer. Instrument drivers are described in separate help files (See File Locations).
HiSLIP (High-Speed LAN Instrument Protocol) is a network protocol intended for remote control of measuring and testing equipment and is based on the TCP/IP network protocol. HiSLIP is developed by the consortium IVI Foundation as the successor to GPIB and VXI-11 protocols. The user program relies on the implementation of the HiSLIP protocol in the VISA library.
TCP/IP Socket is a general-purpose network protocol. The user program can connect to the Analyzer using the TCP/IP Socket protocol both directly and through the VISA library.
VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) library is a widely used software input-output interface for measuring and testing equipment. It is a library of functions for C/C++, C#, Visual Basic, MATLAB, LabVIEW and others. The VISA library unifies access to all measuring instruments, regardless of the protocol and physical layer used. There are versions of VISA library for Windows, Linux, Mac OS.
