A.3 RSIB Interface
The instrument is equipped with an RSIB interface as standard, which enables controlling of the
instrument by means of Visual C++ and Visual Basic programs. The control applications run on an
external computer in the network.
A Unix operating system can be installed on an external computer in addition to a Windows operating
system. In this case, the control applications are created either in C or C++. The supported Unix
operating systems include:
• Sun Solaris 2.6 Sparc Station
• Sun Solaris 2.6 Intel Platform
• Red Hat Linux 6.2 x86 Processors
With local control, the name ’@local’ is specified for link setup by means of function
RSDLLibfind(). If ’@local’ is not specified, the RSIB.DLL interprets the name as an IP address
and attempts to set up a link to the device via the Winsock interface.

Windows Environment
In order to be able to access the measuring instruments via the RSIB interface, the file RSIB32.DLL
must be copied into the Windows system32 directory or into the directory of the control applications.
For 16-bit applications, the file RSIB.DLL must be additionally copied into the directories mentioned.
The DLLs are already installed in the corresponding directories on the measuring instruments.
For the different programming languages there are files available that contain the declarations of the
DLL functions and the definition of the error codes.
Visual Basic (16 bit): ’RSIB.BAS’ (C:\R_S\Instr\RSIB)
Visual Basic (32 bit): ’RSIB32.BAS’ (C:\R_S\Instr\RSIB)
C: ’RSIB.H’ (C:\R_S\Instr\RSIB)
