About the interface cards

The commands are input as plain ASCII strings into the com-

mand line, just as with GPIB, and sent by clicking the Send

button. The error and response box below the command line

will report errors and show requested values.

II. Via LabView

LabView has implemented VIs for VXI11 communication by

default. These can be used according to their given handling

instruction. Further information about VXI11 can be found

in the internet.

Apart from that, the same conditions like when accessing the

device via HTTP apply. The access lock is here only set if

the user sets the device into remote control mode (*RST or

LOCK 1). Unlocking the access is also done automatically

after 10 minutes resp. when the remote control is termina-

ted. In case the access lock is terminated automatically, the

device remains in remote control. Now any user can take

over the control. From that moment, the next user won‘t have

exclusive access because the access lock is not set. We

thus recommend to terminate remote control and activate it

again when taking over device access.

III. Via other programming languages

Generally the same as with LabView or HTTP. The user

has to provide the appropriate communication with VXI11

protocol, transporting the SCPI commands as correct ASCII

strings to the device.

IV. Via the USB port

The Ethernet card features an additional interface, a USB

port of type A. This interface works identically to the IF-U1

USB card. Also see section 4.2

But different conditions do apply here:

- no SCPI, no VXI11, no HTTP, no website

- transmission speed is tied to 57600 Baud

- USB driver required

- Communication via LabView and other languages only

by the object orientated communication protocol (see

section 7.) resp. the corresponding LabView VIs.

4.6.4 The USB port / Firmware updates

The additional USB port can be used as an alternative way of

communication with the device following the given conditions

in section 4.6.3, paragraph IV.

It is also used to update the firmware of the device or the

Ethernet card itself.

Firmware updates are done with a special update tool and a

new firmware version, which are obtainable from the supplier

of your hardware upon request.

4.6.5 The reset button

Is used to reset the network parameters of the device to

defaults. Also see section 4.6.1.
