1Introduction
This Manual contains information about the CMT Network Analyzer remote control
and its data communication, carried out by means of user program through a
computer network.
This manual describes the analyzer command system and the network protocols
used to deliver the commands. The commands sent to and the responses read
from the analyzer are text messages conforming to the SCPI (Standard Commands
for Programmable Instruments) specification. The text messages are delivered
over computer networks using HiSLIP or TCP/IP Socket network protocols.
HiSLIP (High-Speed LAN Instrument Protocol) —a network protocol intended for
remote control of measuring and testing equipment, is based on the TCP/IP
network protocol. HiSLIP is developed by the consortium IVI Foundation as the
successor to GPIB1and VXI-112protocols. The user program, as a rule, relies on the
implementation of the HiSLIP protocol in the VISA library.
TCP/IP Socket is a general-purpose network protocol. The user program can
connect to the analyzer using the TCP/IP Socket protocol both directly and
through the VISA library.
VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) is a widely used software input-
output interface in the field of testing and measurement for controlling devices
from a personal computer. It is a library of functions for C / C ++, C #, Visual Basic,
MATLAB, LabVIEW and others. The VISA library unifies access to all measuring
instruments, regardless of the protocol and equipment used. The VISA library is
installed on the client side, that is, on the computer where the user program is
executed. The VISA library is available on the websites of many companies for free
download. There are versions for Linux, Mac OS, Windows.
Section 2 of the manual describes how to establish a network connection between
the user program and the analyzer using the HiSLIP or TCP/IP Socket protocol. It
shows the differences between the HiSLIP and TCP/IP Socket protocols in terms of
writing user programs.
Sections 3 and 4 of the manual describe general information about SCPI and the
analyzer command system, respectively.
Section 5 of the manual focuses on recommendations about programming in some
specific situations.
Appendixies 1 through 3 contain information about the IEE488.2 Status Reporting
System, Error Codes, and Sample Programs.
1GPIB is a bus interface that connects measurement and test equipmet to a computer.
2VXI-11 is a network protocol for remote control of measurement and test equipmet.

2Connection Setup
2.1 Overview
To enable remote control of the analyzer, the user must enable the HiSLIP server
or Socket server in the settings of the analyzer's program. After that the analyzer’s
program waits for connection from the user program (client).
HiSLIP server and Socket server use various network protocols based on TCP/IP
protocol. HiSLIP is a specialized protocol developed for measuring and test
equipment. TCP/IP Socket is a general-purpose protocol.
It is possible to simultaneously enable both HiSLIP and Socket servers in the
analyzer program. In this case, the client determines the connection protocol.
When using the VISA library, the client selects the protocol by specifying it in the
address string of the analyzer.
After a connection has been established on the initiative of the client, the latter
can send text commands and read the results of the measurements. The command
set is the same for both protocols and is described in sections 3 and 4.
The VISA library hides the details of protocol implementation from the user and
provides an uniform I/O interface. Nevertheless, there are some minor differences
in programming methods using the HiSLIP and TCP/IP Socket protocols, which are
described later in Section 2.7.
Usually the user program and the analyzer program run on different computers
connected by the local network. However, it is possible that the user and analyzer
program runs on the same computer. In the latter case, the client specifies the IP
address of the analyzer's computer –127.0.0.1 or the network name of the
analyzer's computer –localhost.
Multiple analyzer programs can be executed on the same computer (when several
USB analyzer blocks are connected). In this case, remote control of each analyzer
is possible. For this purpose, the user must specify a unique TCP/IP port number in
the settings of each analyzer program.
One analyzer program does not limit the number of simultaneously connected
clients. Clients themselves are responsible for the absence of conflicts in the
remote control of the analyzer. The HiSLIP protocol supports the exclusive or
shared lock of the analyzer by the client. For more details about locks, see the
VISA manual.
2.2 Analyzer Setting

S2VNA and S4VNA SCPI Programming Manual
17
For remote access to the analyzer it is necessary to make the following settings in
its program:
Enable HiSLIP server and/or Socket server;
Configure the TCP/IP port number (optional).
Configuring the TCP/IP port number is necessary in the only case where several
analyzer programs are simultaneously executed on the same computer, and these
programs require remote remote control. In other cases, you should leave the
default TCP/IP port number: for the HiSLIP server - 4880, and for the Socket server
–5025.
To enable remote control of the analyzer using the
HiSLIP protocol, press the following softkeys:
System > Misc Setup > Network Setup > HiSLIP Server
[ON/OFF].
To change the TCP/IP port number of the HiSLIP
server, use the following softkeys:
System > Misc Setup > Network Setup > HiSLIP Port.
To enable remote control of the analyzer using the
Socket protocol, press the following softkeys:
System > Misc Setup > Network Setup > Socket Server
[ON/OFF].
To change the TCP/IP port number of the Socket
server, use the following softkeys:
System > Misc Setup > Network Setup > Socket Port.
2.3 Client Setting
If the client is a user program that works through the VISA library, the easiest way
to configure the network connection with the Analyzer is using a special graphical
utility from VISA package (for example, NI-MAX, Keysight Connection Expert).
According to the manual for the above utilities, add a new network device,
specifying the network name or IP address of the Analyzer's computer, and the
protocol. As a result of successful connection to the Analyzer, the VISA address of

S2VNA and S4VNA SCPI Programming Manual
18
the analyzer will be automatically generated and displayed. The VISA address of
the Analyzer is used later in the user program in order to open the connection.
The format of the VISA address for the HiSLIP and Socket protocols:
HiSLIP
TCPIP[board]::host address[::HiSLIP device name[,HiSLIP port]][::INSTR]
Socket
TCPIP[board]::host address::port::SOCKET
Examples of VISA address for HiSLIP and Socket protocols:
HiSLIP
TCPIP0::192.168.0.1::hislip0::INSTR
TCPIP0::localhost::hislip0::INSTR
Socket
TCPIP0::192.168.0.1::5025::SOCKET
TCPIP0::localhost::5025::SOCKET
If the client is a user program that does not use the VISA library, then only the
TCP/IP Socket protocol is available to it. In this case, the user program establishes
a connection using the IP address of the analyzer's Socket server.
The format of the IP address of the analyzer's Socket server:
Socket
host address:port
Examples of the IP address of the analyzer's Socket server:
Socket
192.168.0.1:5025
localhost:5025
2.4 VISA Library
Using the VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) library is most common
approach. The VISA library is a widely used software input-output interface in the
field of testing and measurement for controlling devices from a personal
computer. It is a library of functions for C/C ++, C #, Visual Basic, MATLAB,
LabVIEW and others.
The VISA Library unifies access to all measuring instruments, regardless of the
protocol and equipment used.
The VISA library is installed on the client side, that is, on the computer where the
user program is executed. The VISA library is available on the websites of many
companies for free download. There are versions for Linux, Mac OS, Windows
2.5 Network and Local Configuration

S2VNA and S4VNA SCPI Programming Manual
19
A network configuration involves executing a user program and analyzer program
on different computers connected by a local area network.
The local configuration involves executing the user program and the analyzer
program on the single computer.
The figure shows the local configuration on the left and the network configuration
on the right.
The local configuration is possible due to to the standard TCP/IP stack function –
TCP loopback. The TCP loopback function allows network applications to
communicate in a standard way within a single computer. The most widely used IP
address in the TCP loopback mechanism is 127.0.0.1. Instead of the numeric
address 127.0.0.1, it is possible to use the symbolic name localhost.
Note: The network configuration does not restrict the client in choosing the OS.
The local configuration limits the client in choosing the OS –only Windows.
2.6 Connecting Multiple Analyzers to Single Computer

S2VNA and S4VNA SCPI Programming Manual
20
This section describes in detail how to configure the remote control of the
multiple analyzer programs executed simultaneously on a single computer
(provided several USB analyzer hardware units connected to the single computer).
It is recommended that you create a separate folder for each analyzer with
the software. This allows you to save individual settings for each analyzer.
It is recommended that each copy of the software be linked to a specific
hardware unit by its serial number or model (see at the end of this section).
Assign a unique TCP/IP port number for each copy of the software for the
HiSLIP or Socket protocol used. For example, if HiSLIP is used, assign port
4880 to the first analyzer, 4881 to the second, and so on. When assigning a
port number, the user must ensure that the port number is not used by
other programs.
Use the analyzer's address in the user program with the mandatory
indication of the TCP/IP port number assigned to the analyzer, as in the
examples given.
Examples of the VISA address for the HiSLIP and Socket protocols with the
indication of the TCP/IP port:
HiSLIP
TCPIP0::192.168.0.1::hislip0,4880::INSTR
TCPIP0::192.168.0.1::hislip0,4881::INSTR
Socket
TCPIP0::192.168.0.1::5025::SOCKET
TCPIP0::192.168.0.1::5026::SOCKET
Examples of the TCP/IP address of the analyzer's Socket server with the indication
of the port:
