Using the LAN to Control the Analyzer
Using HP/Agilent VEE Over Socket LAN
To control your analyzer via socket LAN using VEE, click on the VEE
menu titled "I/O." Then select "To/From Socket" and position the I/O
object box on the screen. Fill in the following fields:
Connect Port: 5025
Host Name: <hostname>
Timeout: 15
For faster troubleshooting, you may want to set the timeout to a smaller
number. If the hostname you enter doesn’t work, try using the IP
address of your analyzer (example: 15.4.43.5). Using the IP address
rather than the hostname may also be faster. See Figure 2-6 for an
example of an VEE screen.
NOTE If you need to control the GPIB using “device clear” or SRQ’s, you can
use SICL LAN. SICL LAN provides control of your analyzer via IEEE
488.2 GPIB. See See “Using SICL LAN to Control the Analyzer” on
page 95.
