1 Quick-Start
TRX Selection
On the monitor or remote desktop view of the test set, each TRX is represented by a
separate XSA window. You can identify which TRX a window controls by looking for
the identifier (TRX1 through TRX4) at the top left corner of the window. (The TRXs are
placed in numerical order in the PXIe chassis, beginning with TRX1 on the left.)
Although the test set as a whole is assigned only one IP address for the entire PXIe
chassis, the individual TRXs within the chassis can be differentiated in network
communication with the test set. The means of identifying a TRX depends upon the
connection method, as outlined below.
Using HiSLIP
NOTE HiSLIP (High-Speed LAN Instrument Protocol) is the recommended interface for
connection to the E6640A, because of its superior performance characteristics.
Use hislip0 through hislip3:
• TRX1:
TCPIP0::<IP Address>::hislip0::INSTR
• TRX2:
TCPIP0::<IP Address>::hislip1::INSTR
• TRX3:
TCPIP0::<IP Address>::hislip2::INSTR
• TRX4:
TCPIP0::<IP Address>::hislip3::INSTR
