E5810B User’s Guide
Use these addresses in your viOpen() call as follows. These
examples assume that the VISA interface ID of your TCPIP
interface is
TCPIP0
. (You can specify this interface ID with
the Connection Expert utility;
TCPIP0
is the default
VISA ID for the default TCPIP interface.)
viOpen
(...
"
TCPIP0::my_IP_address::gpib0,22::INSTR
"
...)
viOpen
(...
"
TCPIP0::my_IP_address::usb0::INSTR
"
...)
viOpen
(...
"
TCPIP0::my_IP_address::COM1,488::INSTR

Addressing instruments with SICL
SICL addresses include the IP address or hostname of your
E5810B as well as the SICL address of the device on the
E5810B, and optionally the protocol to be used. Some
example addresses for SICL programs are as follows. These
examples assume that the SICL interface ID of your TCPIP
interface is “lan”. (You can specify this interface ID with the
Connection Expert utility. The default SICL ID for TCPIP0
interface is “lan”.)
lan[my_IP_Address]:gpib0,22
lan;vxi-11[my_IP_Address]:gpib0,22
lan[my_IP_Address]:usb0
lan;vxi-11[my_IP_Address]:usb0
lan[my_IP_Address]:COM1,488
lan;sicl-lan[my_IP_Address]:gpib0,11
N O T E
At the time of writing, National Instruments I/O software does not support
the SICL-LAN protocol, but only the VXI-11 protocol. As the RS-232
instruments are only supported by SICL-LAN and not VXI-11, you are not
able to use National Instruments I/O software to program an RS-232
instrument on your E5810B.
