In all cases, you must first establish a LANconnection from your computer to the B2900 as previously described.In an MS-DOS Command Prompt box, type “telnet hostname 5024” wherehostname is the B2900’s hostname or IP address, and 5024 is the instrument’s telnetport. You should get a Telnet session box with a title indicating that you areconnected to the B2900. Type the SCPI commands at the prompt.Using SocketsNOTE Keysight B2900 allows any combination of up to four simultaneous data socket,control socket, or telnet connections to be made.Keysight instruments are 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 forthe message to be parsed. All query responses will also be terminated with anewline.The socket programming interface also allows control socket connections. Thecontrol socket can be used by a client to send device clear and to receive servicerequests. Unlike the data socket, which uses a fixed port number, the port numberfor a control socket varies and must be obtained by sending the following SCPIquery to the data socket: SYSTem:COMMunicate:TCPip:CONTrol?
