Query

Range: 0 to 30

Resolution: 1

Factory setting

14 (this parameter is not affected by any reset operation and can only be changed by direct user access)

Requirements

Test or Lab Application Revision: A.01 and above

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"SYSTEM:COMMUNICATE:GPIB:SELF:ADDRESS 14"
! Sets the GPIB address to 14.

Function

Sets/queries the test set's SCPI debugger state.

When the state is on; enhanced error messages (generated from GPIB commands with syntax errors) are shown the test set display.

The error message is printed along with the syntax. <ERR> is displayed at the end of the incorrect node. Non-printable characters will be replaced with the $ symbol. See Error Messages for a list of the errors.

The debugger state should be set to on only during GPIB code development. Test times will increase if the debugger state is left on.

Setting

*RST setting

0 (off)

Requirements

Test or Lab Application Revision: A.01 and above

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"SYSTEM:COMMUNICATE:GPIB:DEBUG:STATE ON"
! Sets debugger to on.

Function

Sets/queries the test set's LAN IPv4 address. The value of A is used to determine the subnet mask, see SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN[:SELF]:SMASk[:IP4] .

If the LAN IP address is changed the subnet mask should be checked to insure that it is set to the proper class for that LAN address. (See Configuring the Test Set's LAN )

The LAN IP address cannot be changed when CALL[:CELL]:OPERating:MODE is set to CALL.

Function

Queries the LAN IPv6 Address (IID) showed in the Instrument IP Addressing screen.

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:ADDRess:IP6:IID?"
!Queries the LAN IPv6 Address (IID).

Function

Sets/queries the test set's IPv6 address prefix. See Instrument IP Info/Instrument IP Setup .

Setting

Range: 19 characters formatted as: AAAA:BBBB:CCCC:DDDD where A, B, C and D are all hex numbers.

• "" (Null) or
• 2000:0000:0000:0000 to 3FFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF or
• FC00:0000:0000:0000 to FDFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF

Double-colon "::" can be used in the IPv6 address as valid. Moreover, "::" can be suffixed at the end of the 19 characters which is also a valid IPv6 address prefix. For example: 2009:1:2:3 and 2009:1:2:3:: are all valid IPv6 address prefixes for the GPIB parameter setting.

Query

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:ADDRess:IP6:PREFix '2009:8960:8960:8960'"
!Sets the IPv6 address prefix to 2009:8960:8960:8960.

 
OUTPUT 714;"SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:ADDRess:IP6:PREFix '2009:1:2:3'"
!Sets the IPv6 address prefix to 2009:1:2:3.

 
OUTPUT 714;"SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:ADDRess:IP6:PREFix '2009:1:2:3::'"
!Sets the IPv6 address prefix to 2009:1:2:3::.

Function

Function

Sets/queries the test set's IPv6 Default Router Interface ID. See Instrument IP Info/Instrument IP Setup for details.

Setting

Range: 19 characters formatted as: AAAA:BBBB:CCCC:DDDD where A, B, C and D are all hex numbers.

• "" (Null) or
• 0000:0000:0000:0001 to FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF

Double-colon "::" can be used in the IPv6 Default Router Interface ID as valid. Moreover, "::" can be prefixed at the beginning of the 19 characters which is also a valid IPv6 Default Router Interface ID. For example: 8960::1, ::1:2 and 8960:8960:146.208.232:220 are all valid IPv6 Default Router Interface IDs for the GPIB parameter setting.

The IPv6 Default Router Interface parameter is also IPv4 address-compatible with the format: ::W.X.Y.Z, where W.X.Y.Z is the dotted decimal representation of an IPv4 address. For example, ::8960:8960:146.208.232:220 and 8960:8960:146.208.232:220 are all valid IPv6 Default Router Interface IDs for the GPIB parameter setting.

Function

Sets/queries the subnet mask of the test set based on the LAN IP address selected. The subnet mask changes according to the value of A used for the LAN IP address.

If A is less than 127, the default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0.

If A is greater than 127 and less or equal to 191, the default subnet mask is 222.255.0.0.

If A is grater than 191, the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

If the LAN address is changed the default subnet mask should be checked to insure that it is set to the proper class for that LAN address.
