FAQs from Rohde & Schwarz

What is the USB VISA address string of the NGE for remote control?

Question:

I want to remote control the NGE via USB.

What is the VISA address string?

Answer:

The USB VISA address string of the NGE is:

USB0::<Vendor ID>::<Device ID>::<Serial Number>::INSTR

The Vendor ID of Rohde & Schwarz is '0x0AAD'
The Device ID of the NGE103 is '0x0197'
The Serial Number of the NGE102 is '5601.1414K02-' plus the 6 digits serial number of your NGE.
The Serial Number of the NGE103 is '5601.1414K03-' plus the 6 digits serial number of your NGE.

So the VISA address of a NGE103 with the serial number 100433 is:

USB0::0x0AAD::0x0197::5601.1414k03-100433::INSTR
