Hello All,

I'm having major issues with connecting a PSA & a PSG to MatLab. I've got VISA installed & the Agilent I/O suite, however when I try to connect the instrument the app does not "see" the analyser through the direct LAN cable connecting the two together.

I'm not sure what settings the instruments need to have in order to connect- has anyone got any experience in doing this!

Regards,

Chris

Chris,

Are you able to "see" the instrument in Agilent Connection Expert?

If not, you might want to check that the instrument is
1) On the same subnet of your LAN
2) There are no firewalls on the instrument or your PC that is blocking our certain ports

One of the first things you probably want to do is ping the instrument. From a windows command prompt:
ping <ip_address_ofinstrument_here>

make sure you are getting a response back. Then, try and get the instruments registered in Agilent connection expert.

Once you can see the instrument in Agilent Connection Expert with a green check mark next to it, you should be able to create a VISA using the VISA() function in the Instrument Control Toolbox.
