Configuring I/O Interfaces
Configuring LAN Interfaces
Configuring LAN Server Interfaces
An IO interface can be defined as both a hardware interface and as a
software interface. The purpose of the IO Config utility is to associate a
unique interface name with a hardware interface.
The IO Libraries use an
Interface Name or Logical Unit Number to identify an
interface. This information is passed in the parameter string of the
viOpen
function call in a VISA program or in the
iopen function call in a SICL
program. IO Config assigns an Interface Name and Logical Unit Number to
the interface hardware, as well as other necessary configuration values for
an interface when the interface is configured.
Using IO Config to
Configure VISA LAN
Server Interface
To configure VISA LAN Server interfaces using the IO Config utility, click the
Agilent IO Libraries Control icon (blue icon on the Windows taskbar) and
click Run I
O Config. When the main screen appears, highlight the
n/a LAN Server (PC as Server) menu item (see the following figure) and click
the C
onfigure button.
NOTE
The LAN Server supports both VXI-11 and SICL-LAN protocol.
