Typically, this is “inst0” and is case sensitive for somepower meters. Refer to your power meter’s documentation, the Agilent Connectivity GuideUSB/LAN/GPIB Connectivity Guide (E2094–90009), and Agilent MXG’s FAQs “How do Iconnect to the LAN?”When connecting via a LAN–GPIB gateway, enter the SICL address of the power meter.Typically, this is “gpib0,13”, where “gpib0” is the GPIB SICL interface name of thegateway and “13” is the GPIB address of the power meter. Refer to the AgilentConnectivity Guide USB/LAN/GPIB Connectivity Guide (E2094–90009), Agilent MXG’s FAQs“How do I connect to the LAN?”, and to the E5810A User’s Guide or equivalent, LAN/GPIBgateway device.c.
