work with your instrument.
4.4 Firewalls
If you are using VXI-11 or Raw TCP/IP socket communication with your instrument
and you are experiencing timeout errors or it just simply doesn’t appear to work
correctly make sure you have configured your firewall correctly. For Keithley
instruments and VXI-11 they use ports 111, 1024 and 1025. The raw socket
communication uses port 5025. The Model 2701 and 6221 use port 1394 and don’t
support VXI-11 so you must use a VISA TCPIP socket resource. For other vendors
instruments read their documentation to find out which ports they use and configure
them in the firewall appropriately.
