R&S ® WinIQSIM2 Automation of R&S WinIQSIM2 Remote Control Basics 6 Automation of R&S WinIQSIM2 In addition to being able to control the R&S WinIQSIM2 in the usual manual way via the user interface, this system can also be controlled remotely. Remote control operation allows automation of the configuration process and is especially useful when a higher configuration speed is required. Remote control is an operation by which the software is operated remotely from a so called controller. A controller can be any PC on which some required software is installed and configured. R&S WinIQSIM2 might be but not necessarily is installed on the same PC. In case R&S WinIQSIM2 is not physically located on the controller’s PC, a LAN connection between both PCs is required. The figures below depict the following two possible cases: ● The controller and R&S WinIQSIM2 are on the same PC. ● In some rare cases, the controller and the software are installed on two separate PCs. Remote control operation of the R&S WinIQSIM2 should not be mistaken with the functions provided in the "Remote Control (SCPI)" dialog. This dialog enables a remote control of an instrument from the graphical user interface of the software, i.e. in the general case the R&S WinIQSIM2 itself is manually controlled while the instrument is remote controlled. In remote control operation, the software itself is operated by means of remote control commands. A detailed description of specific SCPI commands available for the R&S WinIQSIM2 is provided in chapter 7, "Remote Control Commands", on page 164. The remote control commands related to the digital standards are described in detail after each related function section. For background information about the SCPI command structure and basic information on operating the R&S WinIQSIM2 software via remote control, refer to chapter 6.1, "Remote Control Basics", on page 128. Refer to chapter 6.1.2, "Starting a Remote Control Session", on page 133 for information on how to get started and how to establish a remote control connection between the controller and the software. 6.1 Remote Control Basics This chapter provides basic information on operating an instrument via remote control.

R&S ® WinIQSIM2 Automation of R&S WinIQSIM2 Remote Control Basics Through this description, the term “instrument” is used to indicate the R&S WinIQSIM2; the terms “instrument”, “software” and R&S WinIQSIM2 are used interchangeably. 6.1.1 Remote Control Interfaces and Protocols The instrument supports different interfaces for remote control. The following table gives an overview. Table 6-1: Remote control interfaces and protocols Interface Protocols, VISA *) address string Remarks Local Area Network (LAN) Protocols: ● ● VXI-11 VISA *) address string: TCPIP::host address[:: LAN device name][::INSTR] socket communication (Raw Ethernet, simple telnet) VISA *) address string: TCPIP::host address[:: LAN device name]:::: SOCKET A LAN connector is located on the front or rear panel of the instrument, or both. The interface is based on TCP/IP and supports various protocols. For a description of the protocols refer to: ● "VXI-11 Protocol" on page 132 ● "Socket Communication" on page 132 * ) VISA is a standardized software interface library providing input and output functions to communicate with instruments. A VISA installation on the controller is a prerequisite for remote control over LAN (when using VXI-11 or HiSLIP protocol), USB and serial interface. However, no VISA installation is necessary to remote control while using socket communication. For more information, see chapter 6.1.1.1, "VISA Libraries", on page 129. Within this interface description, the term GPIB is used as a synonym for the IEC/IEEE bus interface. SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) SCPI commands - messages - are used for remote control. Commands that are not taken from the SCPI standard follow the SCPI syntax rules. The instrument supports the SCPI version 1999. The SCPI standard is based on standard IEEE 488.2 and aims at the standardization of device-specific commands, error handling and the status registers. The tutorial "Automatic Measurement Control - A tutorial on SCPI and IEEE 488.2" from John M. Pieper (R&S order number 0002.3536.00) offers detailed information on concepts and definitions of SCPI. Tables provide a fast overview of the bit assignment in the status registers. The tables are supplemented by a comprehensive description of the status registers. 6.1.1.1 VISA Libraries VISA is a standardized software interface library providing input and output functions to communicate with instruments. The I/O channel (LAN or TCP/IP, USB, GPIB,...) is selected at initialization time by means of the channel–specific address string ("VISA Software Manual 1008.0858.42 ─ 10 129
