Chapter 1 — General Information

1-1 About this Manual

This SCPI Programming Manual provides information for remote operation of the Site

Master S331L, Cable and Antenna Analyzer, using commands sent from an external

controller through the USB or Ethernet connection.

This Programming Manual includes the following:

•An overview of the USB and Ethernet connections to the instrument.

•An overview of Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) command

structure and conventions.

•The IEEE common commands that are supported by the instruments.

•A complete listing and description of all the SCPI commands that can be used to

remotely control functions of the instrument. The commands are organized by

measurement mode starting in Chapter 3.

This manual is intended to be used in conjunction with the Site Master S331L User Guide.

Refer to the instrument user guide for general information about the instrument, including

equipment setup and operating instructions.

1-2 Introduction

This chapter provides a general description of remote programming setup and interface using

USB or Ethernet, and sending SCPI commands to the instrument.

1-3 Remote Operation Setup and Interface

Remote operation of the instrument is accomplished via the USB or Ethernet interface. The

following paragraphs provide information about the interface connections, cable

requirements, and setting up remote operation.

USB Interface Connection and Setup

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) architecture is a high-performance networking standard that

is considered “plug and play” compatible. The USB driver software is automatically detected

and configured by the operating system of the devices that are connected to the bus. The

instrument conforms to the USB 2.0 standard and is a USB “Hi-speed” device that supports

data rates of up to 480 Mbps with the following restrictions:

•One USB network can support up to 127 devices

•The maximum length of USB cables between active devices is 5 meters (for USB 2.0)

and 3 meters (for USB 1.0)

You must have NI-VISA 2.5 or later installed on the controller PC and must select the VISA

library (visa32.dll) as a reference in a Visual Basic project. For remote USB control, the

controlling PC needs to have a version of VISA installed that supports USBTMC (USB Test

and Measurement Class) devices.

1-2 PN: 10580-00322 Rev. F S331L PM

USB Interface, Type Mini-B

The USB 2.0 Mini-B device connector is used to connect the instrument directly to a

PC. The first time the instrument is connected to a PC, the normal USB device

detection by the computer operating system takes place.

1. Power on the instrument and controller PC and wait for the systems to power up

completely.

2. Connect the USB cable Mini-B connector to the instrument.

3. Connect the USB cable A connector to the controller PC USB host port. The

controller PC should indicate “New Hardware Found” if the combination of USB

VID/PID/Serial Number has never been connected to this controller PC.

4. Select to allow the Wizard to search for and install the USB software

automatically.

5. After the software installs, close the Wizard by clicking Finish.

Ethernet Interface Connection and Setup

The Site Master S331L fully supports the IEEE-802.3 standard. Most Site Master functions

(except power On/Off) can be controlled via an Ethernet connection to a PC that is connected

directly (with an Ethernet cross-over cable) or through a network.

Ethernet networking uses a bus or star topology in which all of the interfacing devices are

connected to a central cable called the bus, or are connected to a hub. Ethernet uses the

CSMA/CD access method to handle simultaneous transmissions over the bus. CSMA/CD

stands for Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection. This standard enables network

devices to detect simultaneous data channel usage (called a collision) and provides for a

contention protocol. When a network device detects a collision, the CSMA/CD standard

dictates that the data is retransmitted after waiting a random amount of time. If a second

collision is detected, then the data are again retransmitted after waiting twice as long. This is

known as exponential back off.

The TCP/IP setup requires the following:

•USB-to-Ethernet Dongle: The S331L requires the use of an external USB-to-Ethernet

dongle, such as Anritsu part number 2000-1810-R, to enable TCP/IP communication.

•IP Address: Every computer/electronic device in a TCP/IP network requires an IP

address. An IP address has four numbers (each between 0 and 255) separated by

periods. For example: 128.111.122.42 is a valid IP address.

•Subnet Mask: The subnet mask distinguishes the portion of the IP address that is the

network ID from the portion that is the station ID. The subnet mask 255.255.0.0, when

applied to the IP address given above, would identify the network ID as 128.111 and

the station ID as 122.42. All stations in the same local area network should have the

same network ID, but different station IDs.

•Default Gateway: A TCP/IP network can have a gateway to communicate beyond the

LAN that is identified by the network ID. A gateway is a computer or electronic device

that is connected to two different networks and can move TCP/IP data from one

network to the other. A single LAN that is not connected to other LANs requires a

default gateway setting of 0.0.0.0. If you have a gateway, then the default gateway

would be set to the appropriate value of your gateway.

•Ethernet Address: An Ethernet address (also known as a MAC address) is a unique

48-bit value that identifies a network interface card to the rest of the network. Every

network card has a unique ethernet address permanently stored into its memory.

Connectivity

TCP/IP connectivity requires setting up the parameters that are described at the beginning of

this section. The following is a brief overview of how to set up a general LAN connection on

the Site Master.

Site Master LAN Connections

The S331L requires the use of an external USB-Ethernet dongle, such as Anritsu part

number 2000-1810-R, to connect the Site Master to a local area network (LAN). Integrated

into this dongle are two LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes). The amber LED indicates the speed of

the LAN connection (ON for 100 Mb/s and OFF for 10 Mb/s), and the green LED flashes to

show that LAN traffic is present. The instrument IP address is set automatically by using

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). DHCP is an Internet protocol that automates

the process of setting IP addresses for devices that use TCP/IP, and is the most common

method of configuring a device for network use. After the Ethernet cable is connected to the

instrument, go to System, Status, Connectivity Info to view the IP address that the

instrument has been assigned.

1-4 Sending SCPI Commands Chapter 1 — General Information

1-6 PN: 10580-00322 Rev. F S331L PM

1-4 Sending SCPI Commands

SCPI commands can be sent to the instrument through any Virtual Instrument Software

Architecture (VISA) controller. VISA is a commonly used API in the Test and Measurement

industry for communicating with instruments from a PC. The physical connection between

the PC and the instrument is USB or Ethernet. NI-VISA is the National Instruments

implementation of the VISA I/O standard. Information and downloads are available at:

http://www.ni.com/visa/

The following example describes the verification that a VISA controller can interact with the

instrument. The images shown and the instructions for your instrument and software may

differ from the examples.

USB Connectivity

1. On the PC, run NI Measurement & Automation Explorer or VISA Interactive Control

and double-click on the TMC Class instrument.
