5 Remote Programming64 Keysight M8197A User’s Guide5.4.6 :SYSTem:COMMunicate:*?These queries return information about the instrument firmware’s availableconnections. If a connection is not available the returned value is -1.This is only useful if there is more than one Keysight module connected to a PC,otherwise one would normally use the default connections (HiSLIP and VXI-11instrument number 0, socket port 5025, telnet port 5024)One can never be sure if a socket port is already in use, so one could e.g. specify aHiSLIP number on the command line (AgM8197Firmware.exe /AutoID /i 5/FallBack /r …) and let the firmware find an unused socket port. Then thissocket port can be queried using the HiSLIP connection.5.4.6.1 :SYSTem:COMMunicate:INSTr[:NUMBer]?Command :SYST:COMM:INST?Long :SYSTem:COMMunicate:INSTr?Parameters NoneParameter Suffix NoneDescription This query returns the VXI-11 instrument number used by the firmware.Example Query:SYST:COMM:INST?5.4.6.2 :SYSTem:COMMunicate:HISLip[:NUMBer]?Command :SYST:COMM:HISL?Long :SYSTem:COMMunicate:HISLip?Parameters NoneParameter Suffix NoneDescription This query returns the HiSLIP number used by the firmware.Example Query:SYST:COMM:HISL?5.4.6.3 :SYSTem:COMMunicate:SOCKet[:PORT]?Command :SYST:COMM:SOCK?Long :SYSTem:COMMunicate:SOCKet?Parameters NoneParameter Suffix NoneDescription This query returns the socket port used by the firmware.Example Query:SYST:COMM:SOCK?
