VISA Resource Strings
Use one of the following VISA resource strings to make the remote connection:
Protocol VISA Resource String
VICP
(TCP/IP)
VICP::<
IP address
>
VICP::<
hostname
>
Examples:
VICP::172.29.9.22
VICP::LCRY4201N10003
VXI-11
(LXI)
TCPIP0::<
IP address
>::INSTR
TCPIP0::<
hostname
>::INSTR
Examples:
TCPIP0::172.29.9.22::INSTR
TCPIP0::LCRY4201N10003::INSTR
GPIB
GPIB::<
GPIB address
>::INSTR
Example:
GPIB::4::INSTR
USBTMC
USBTMC::<
manufacturer ID::model code::serial number::USB interface number
>::INSTR
Example:
USBTMC::USB0::0x05FF::0x1023::2807N59057::INSTR
The suffix ::INSTR is not necessary for VICP, but those using other protocols should continue to use the full
syntax.
The <hostname> string is the name by which the DNS server knows the instrument (often the serial
number) and can be used only if the oscilloscope and controller are both connected by LAN to a name
server.
On the oscilloscope, go to Utilities > Utilities Setup > Remote to find the instrument address and serial
number.
