Agilent E7501A Getting Started 3-29
Using SCPI Interfaces
Using the E7501A SCPI Interface
Configuring a
VXI-11 Connection
Overview of Steps:
• Configure an Internal Instrument interface (initial setup only).
• Activate the LAN Server.
• Start the E7501A SCPI Interface.
• Select a configuration (Agilent E7501A or Demo).
• Select the VXI-11 Enable checkbox.
• Start the external programming application software.
• Send SCPI commands.
Configuring a VXI-11 connection may require the following:
NOTE If you wish to communicate with the Agilent E7501A arbitrary analog signal
development system from a remote computer using SCPI through a VXI-11
connection, you must configure an Internal Instrument interface with the
I/O Config utility before it can be enabled; the I/O Config utility is available
only with Agilent I/O Libraries.
If you wish to communicate using SCPI through Telnet, Sockets, or RS-232,
a VXI-11 connection does not need to be configured.
1. You may skip to step 5 of this procedure if an Internal Instrument
interface has been previously configured.
Click the Start menu,
point to Programs,
point to Agilent IO Libraries,
