Technical connection details
In most cases, you can easily connect to the instrument with the IO Libraries Suite or Web interface. In certain
circumstances, it may be helpful to know the following information.
Interface Details
VXI-11
VISA String: TCPIP0::<IP Address>::inst0::INSTR
LAN
Example: TCPIP0::192.168.10.2::inst0::INSTR
Web UI
Port number 80, URL http://<IP address>/
USB0::0x2A8D::<Prod ID>::<Serial Number>::0::INSTR
Example: USB0::0x2A8D::0x0902::MY55160003::0::INSTR
The vendor ID: 0x2A8D, the product ID is 0x0902, and the instrument serial number is MY55160003.
The product ID varies by model: 0x1502 (E36102B), 0x1602 (E36103B), 0x1702 (E36104B), 0x1802 (E36105B), 0x1902
(E36106B).
Using sockets
Power supplies allow data socket to be made.
Keysight instruments have standardized on using port 5025 for SCPI socket services. A data socket on this port can
be used to send and receive ASCII/SCPI commands, queries, and query responses. All commands must be
terminated with a newline for the message to be parsed. All query responses will also be terminated with a newline.
