Example: Addressing LAN Instruments Using VISA/SICL
The LAN interface system in this figure consists of a Windows PC with
a LAN (NIC) card and three LAN instruments. instrument1 and
instrument2 are VXI-11.2 (GPIB Emulation) instruments, and
instrument3 is a VXI-11.3 LAN instrument.
For this system, Connection Expert has been used to assign the LAN
card a VISA interface ID of “TCPIP0” and a SICL interface ID of “lan”.
For the addressing examples, instrument1 has been addressed by its
machine name, instrument2 by its IP address, and instrument3 by its
remote instrument name (inst0).
