2.1.1.1 LAN interface
The signal generator is available for remote control via computer in 10Base-T and 100Base-T LAN, in
which various instruments are integrated into a system and controlled by network computer. In order to
realize the remote control within the LAN, the signal generator shall be preinstalled with the port
connector, network card and relevant network protocol, and configured with relevant network service.
And, the controller computer within the LAN shall also be preinstalled with the instrument control
software and VISA library. The three working modes of the network card include:
10 Mbit/s Ethernet IEEE802.3;
100 Mbit/s Ethernet IEEE802.3u;
1 Gbit/s Ethernet IEEE802.3ab.
Control computer and signal generator need to be connected to a common TCP/IP protocol network via
network interface. The cable between the computer and the signal generator is a commercial RJ45 cable
(shielded or unshielded Category 5 twisted pair). During data transmission, data packet transmission will
be adopted, and LAN transmission is faster. The cable length between the computer and the signal
generator shall generally not exceed 100 m (100Base-T and 10Base-T). For more information about
LAN communication, refer to: http://www.ieee.org
。
The knowledge of LAN interface is introduced
hereinafter.
1) IP address
When the signal generator is remotely controlled via LAN, the physical network connection shall be
guaranteed to be smooth. The address of the signal generator is set to the subnet where the main
control computer is located via menu ―local IP‖. For example: If the IP address of main control computer
is 192.168.12.0, the IP address of the signal generator shall be set to 192.168.12.XXX, where XXX is a
value between 1 and 255, and the default network port number for the signal generator communication
is 5001.
Only the IP address is required to establish a network connection. The VISA addressing string is as
follows:
TCPIP::host address[::LAN device name][::INSTR] or
