12 E5810B User’s Guide
The VISA LAN client software, and TCP/IP LAN software is
needed on the client system (PC) to access the E5810B as
shown in
Figure 1- 6. The E5810B consists of the LAN server
and TCP/IP LAN firmware, so that the E5810B can perform
as the LAN server.
The VISA LAN client software is also known as the Remote
IO Client software. It is part of Keysight IO Libraries Suite.
The LAN server software is also called the Remote IO Server
software.
The VISA LAN client software uses the TCP/IP LAN protocol
suite to pass messages between the client system and the
server (E5810B). The client sends I/O requests over the
network to the server. The server will executes those I/O
requests on the appropriate GPIB, USB, and RS- 232- based
instruments connected to the server.
I/O application operation
Before performing an I/O application operation on the
E5810B GPIB, USB, or RS- 232 interface and the GPIB, USB,
or RS- 232 bus, the Remote IO Client software in the client
computer system must establish a network connection to the
remote I/O server (E5810B). Once the client establishes a
connection, the client can begin to send I/O requests to
the E5810B.
The E5810B (remote I/O server) allows multiple clients to be
connected and serviced at any given time. The maximum
number of concurrent client connections depends on the
memory usage in the E5810B, including the number of
clients and current sessions running on those clients.
However, the E5810B only allows up to 16 client connections
to be run concurrently.
