1 Introduction
This Manual contains information about the CMT Network Analyzer remote control and its data communication, carried out by means of user program through a computer network.
This manual describes the analyzer command system and the network protocols used to deliver commands. The commands sent to the analyzer and the responses from it are text messages conforming to the SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) specification. The text messages are delivered over computer networks using HiSLIP or TCP/IP Socket network protocols.
HiSLIP (High-Speed LAN Instrument Protocol) — a network protocol intended for remote control of measuring and testing equipment, is based on the TCP/IP network protocol. HiSLIP is developed by the consortium IVI Foundation as the successor to GPIB1 and VXI-112 protocols. The user program, as a rule, relies on the implementation of the HiSLIP protocol in the VISA library.
TCP/IP Socket is a general-purpose network protocol. The user program can connect to the analyzer using the TCP/IP Socket protocol both directly and through the VISA library.
VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) is a widely used software input­output interface in the field of testing and measurement for controlling devices from a personal computer. It is a library of functions for C / C ++, C #, Visual Basic, MATLAB, LabVIEW and others. The VISA library unifies access to all measuring instruments, regardless of the protocol and equipment used. The VISA library is installed on the client side, that is, on the computer where the user program is executed. The VISA library is available on the websites of many companies for free download. There are versions for Linux, Mac OS, Windows.
Section 2 of the manual describes how to establish a network connection between the user program and the analyzer using the HiSLIP or TCP/IP Socket protocol. It shows the differences between the HiSLIP and TCP/IP Socket protocols in terms of writing user programs.
Sections 3 and 4 of the manual describe general information about SCPI and the analyzer command system, respectively.
Section 5 of the manual focuses on recommendations about programming in some specific situations.
Appendixies 1 through 3 contain information about the IEE488.2 Status Reporting System, Error Codes, and Sample Programs.

2 Connection Setup
2.1 Overview
To enable remote control of the analyzer, the user must enable the HiSLIP server or Socket server in the settings of the analyzer's program. After that the analyzer’s program waits for connection from the user program (client).
HiSLIP server and Socket server use various network protocols based on TCP/IP protocol. HiSLIP is a specialized protocol developed for measuring and test equipment. TCP/IP Socket is a general-purpose protocol.
It is possible to simultaneously enable both HiSLIP and Socket servers in the analyzer program. In this case, the client determines the connection protocol. When using the VISA library, the client selects the protocol by specifying it in the address string of the analyzer.
After a connection has been established on the initiative of the client, the latter can send text commands and read the results of the measurements. The command set is the same for both protocols and is described in sections 3 and 4.
The VISA library hides the details of protocol implementation from the user and provides an uniform I/O interface. Nevertheless, there are some minor differences in programming methods using the HiSLIP and TCP/IP Socket protocols, which are described later in Section 2.7.
Usually the user program and the analyzer program run on different computers connected by the local network. However, it is possible that the user and analyzer program runs on the same computer. In the latter case, the client specifies the IP address of the analyzer's computer – 127.0.0.1 or the network name of the analyzer's computer – localhost.
Multiple analyzer programs can be executed on the same computer (when several USB analyzer blocks are connected). In this case, remote control of each analyzer is possible. For this purpose, the user must specify a unique TCP/IP port number in the settings of each analyzer program.
One analyzer program does not limit the number of simultaneously connected clients. Clients themselves are responsible for the absence of conflicts in the remote control of the analyzer. The HiSLIP protocol supports the exclusive or shared lock of the analyzer by the client. For more details about locks, see the VISA manual.
2.2 Analyzer Setting
Page 16
S2VNA and S4VNA SCPI Programming Manual
16
For remote access to the analyzer it is necessary to make the following settings in its program:
Enable HiSLIP server and/or Socket server;
Configure the TCP/IP port number (optional).
Configuring the TCP/IP port number is necessary in the only case where several analyzer programs are simultaneously executed on the same computer, and these programs require remote remote control. In other cases, you should leave the default TCP/IP port number: for the HiSLIP server - 4880, and for the Socket server – 5025.
To enable remote control of the analyzer using the HiSLIP protocol, press the following softkeys:
System
> Misc Setup > Network Setup > HiSLIP Server
[ON/OFF].
To change the TCP/IP port number of the HiSLIP server, use the following softkeys:
System
> Misc Setup > Network Setup > HiSLIP Port.
To enable remote control of the analyzer using the Socket protocol, press the following softkeys:
System
> Misc Setup > Network Setup > Socket Server
[ON/OFF].
To change the TCP/IP port number of the Socket server, use the following softkeys:
System
> Misc Setup > Network Setup > Socket Port.
2.3 Client Setting
If the client is a user program that works through the VISA library, the easiest way to configure the network connection with the Analyzer is using a special graphical utility from VISA package (for example, NI-MAX, Keysight Connection Expert).
According to the manual for the above utilities, add a new network device, specifying the network name or IP address of the Analyzer's computer, and the protocol. As a result of successful connection to the Analyzer, the VISA address of
Page 17
S2VNA and S4VNA SCPI Programming Manual
17
the analyzer will be automatically generated and displayed. The VISA address of the Analyzer is used later in the user program in order to open the connection.
The format of the VISA address for the HiSLIP and Socket protocols:
HiSLIP TCPIP[board]::host address[::HiSLIP device name[,HiSLIP port]][::INSTR]
Socket TCPIP[board]::host address::port::SOCKET
Examples of VISA address for HiSLIP and Socket protocols:
HiSLIP TCPIP0::192.168.0.1::hislip0::INSTR
TCPIP0::localhost::hislip0::INSTR
Socket TCPIP0::192.168.0.1::5025::SOCKET
TCPIP0::localhost::5025::SOCKET
If the client is a user program that does not use the VISA library, then only the TCP/IP Socket protocol is available to it. In this case, the user program establishes a connection using the IP address of the analyzer's Socket server.
The format of the IP address of the analyzer's Socket server:
Socket host address:port
Examples of the IP address of the analyzer's Socket server:
Socket 192.168.0.1:5025
localhost:5025
2.4 VISA Library
Using the VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) library is most common approach. The VISA library is a widely used software input-output interface in the field of testing and measurement for controlling devices from a personal computer. It is a library of functions for C/C ++, C #, Visual Basic, MATLAB, LabVIEW and others.
The VISA Library unifies access to all measuring instruments, regardless of the protocol and equipment used.
The VISA library is installed on the client side, that is, on the computer where the user program is executed. The VISA library is available on the websites of many companies for free download. There are versions for Linux, Mac OS, Windows
2.5 Network and Local Configuration
Page 18
S2VNA and S4VNA SCPI Programming Manual
18
A network configuration involves executing a user program and analyzer program on different computers connected by a local area network.
The local configuration involves executing the user program and the analyzer program on the single computer.
The figure shows the local configuration on the left and the network configuration on the right.
The local configuration is possible due to to the standard TCP/IP stack function
–
TCP loopback. The TCP loopback function allows network applications to communicate in a standard way within a single computer. The most widely used IP address in the TCP loopback mechanism is 127.0.0.1. Instead of the numeric address 127.0.0.1, it is possible to use the symbolic name localhost.
Note: The network configuration does not restrict the client in choosing the OS. The local configuration limits the client in choosing the OS – only Windows.
2.6 Connecting Multiple Analyzers to Single Computer
Page 19
S2VNA and S4VNA SCPI Programming Manual
19
This section describes in detail how to configure the remote control of the multiple analyzer programs executed simultaneously on a single computer (provided several USB analyzer hardware units connected to the single computer).
It is recommended that you create a separate folder for each analyzer with
the software. This allows you to save individual settings for each analyzer.
It is recommended that each copy of the software be linked to a specific
hardware unit by its serial number or model (see at the end of this section).
Assign a unique TCP/IP port number for each copy of the software for the
HiSLIP or Socket protocol used. For example, if HiSLIP is used, assign port 4880 to the first analyzer, 4881 to the second, and so on. When assigning a port number, the user must ensure that the port number is not used by other programs.
Use the analyzer's address in the user program with the mandatory
indication of the TCP/IP port number assigned to the analyzer, as in the examples given.
Examples of the VISA address for the HiSLIP and Socket protocols with the indication of the TCP/IP port:
HiSLIP TCPIP0::192.168.0.1::hislip0,4880::INSTR
TCPIP0::192.168.0.1::hislip0,4881::INSTR
Socket TCPIP0::192.168.0.1::5025::SOCKET
TCPIP0::192.168.0.1::5026::SOCKET
Examples of the TCP/IP address of the analyzer's Socket server with the indication of the port:
Socket 192.168.0.1:5025
192.168.0.1:5026
To link the analyzer program to the analyzer model, press the softkeys:
System
> Misc Setup > Analyzer Model
To link the analyzer program to the analyzer serial number, press the softkeys:
System
> Misc Setup > Analyzer Serial N

2. The terminal character <newline> in the analyzer's responses.
3. Determine the interrupted violation of the messages exchange protocol of IEEE488.2.
4. Support for the IEEE488.2 Status Reporting System.
5. Support the transfer of binary data.
2.7.1 Terminal Character in Messages to Analyzer
The user program sends variable-length text messages to the analyzer. The end of the message, according to IEEE488.2, is transmitted either by protocol means (not by a symbol), or by the symbol <newline> ('\n', 0x0A, 10), or both methods together.
The HiSLIP has a mechanism for transmitting the end of the message by protocol means, while the Socket protocol does not. This makes the following requirements for programs sending commands to analyzer:
Programs using the Socket protocol shall send a <newline> character at the
end of the message;
Programs using the HiSLIP protocol may send the <newline> symbol at the
end of the message.
Note for the graphical language LabVIEW when using the Socket protocol: to be able to enter the symbol <newline> at the end of the message, you need to right-click on the string constant and enable '\' Codes Display. The <newline> character is entered as '\n'.
Note for the textual languages: it is recommended to use to the symbol <newline> at the end of the message regarless of the protocol used.

2.7.2 Terminal Character in Analyzer Responses
When using the HiSLIP protocol, the analyzer terminates messages with the symbol <newline> + the protocol defined end of message (not symbolic).
When using the Socket protocol, the analyzer terminates messages only with the <newline> symbol, since the Socket protocol does not have the protocol defined end of message.
Depending on the protocol used, you need to make the following settings for the VISA library so that it correctly determines the end of the message from the analyzer:
When using the HiSLIP protocol – no settings are required, the VISA library
functions normally with default settings;
When using the Socket protocol, the user program must set the attribute
VI_ATTR_TERMCHAR_EN to TRUE (completion of the read operation when the <newline> character is received).
Examples of setting up the VISA library using the Socket protocol:
C/C++ viSetAttribute(instr, VI_ATTR_TERMCHAR_EN, VI_TRUE);
LabVIEW
2.7.3 Interrupted Error
The HiSLIP protocol meets the requirements of the IEEE Std 488.2 message exchange protocol to detect an interrupted error3. The interrupted error indicates that the Analyzer received an incoming message (command or query) before the client accepted a response from the previous request. In other words, the client is required to read the result of each query before sending the next query or command. If the client fails to do so, the protocol generates an error message and the response from the previous query is cleared by the protocol.
The Socket protocol does not detect the interrupted error. Multiple queries can be sent to the analyzer without a read operation between them. Answers from
3
The analyzer implements the synchronized mode of the HiSLIP protocol.
VISA resource name
Page 22
S2VNA and S4VNA SCPI Programming Manual
22
queries will be returned in the order in which they were sent. The client himself determines from which request a specific answer has been received.
2.7.4 IEEE488.2 Status Reporting System
The HiSLIP protocol fully supports the analyzer's IEEE488.2 Status Reporting System described in the appendix, while the Socket protocol supports it only partially. The Socket protocol does not support the following functions:
The MAV (message available) bit in the Status Byte;
SRQ (service request) generation - request from the analyzer, implemented
by callback functions in the VISA library;
Read the Status Byte using the dedicated function – viReadSTB.
2.7.5 Transfer of Binary Data
By default, data from the analyzer is sent in text form. To increase the speed of the exchange, the user has the option to enable binary data transfer. The transfer of binary data is enabled by the FORMat:DATA command and is effective for commands that transfer large data ammounts. A list of such commands is given in the description of the FORMat:DATA command.
The HiSLIP protocol supports the transfer of binary data, since it provides the protocol defined end of message (not symbolic).
The Socket protocol does not support the transfer of binary data, since it use the <newline> byte as the end of the message, which can occur in binary data.

3 SCPI Overview
The analyzer implements a set of commands based on the standard SCPI-1999 (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments). This is a set of instructions oriented to the exchange of symbolic messages.
SCPI was developed by the SCPI Consortium (currently supported by the IVI Foundation). The main details of the SCPI standard are described below. More information about the SCPI standard can be downloaded from the IVI Foundation website.
3.1 Messages
The SCPI is text message oriented protocol. The commands are sent as character messages. One message can contain one or several commands. The answer from instrument is read out as a text message by default. Optionaly an instrument can be programmed to output a binary data.
Note
The Analyzer supports the binary data output when
using HiSLIP protocol.
The Analyzer does not support the binary data output when using TCP/IP Socket protocol.
3.2 Command Tree
The SCPI commands are organized in a tree structure. For example:
Page 24
S2VNA and S4VNA SCPI Programming Manual
24
Each tree structure forms a functional system. The base of the tree is called root, e.g. MEASure and SYSTem. Each functional system can have subsystems of lower level. The final nodes are called leaves. The entire sequence from root to the leaf makes up the command. For example, part of SOURCe functional system looks as follows:
:SOURce :POWer :CENTer :STARt :SPAN :STOP [:LEVel] :SLOPe [:DATA] :STATe
This SOURce branch has several levels, where CENTer, STARt, SPAN, STOP, DATA, STATe are the leaves, which represent the following six commands:
:SOURce:POWer:CENTer
:SOURce:POWer:STARt
:SOURce:POWer:SPAN
:SOURce:POWer:STOP
:SOURce:POWer[:LEVel]:SLOPe[:DATA]
:SOURce:POWer[:LEVel]:SLOPe:STATe
The tree can contain subsystems and leaves with the same names if they belong to different branches, e.g. CENTer leaf is on the tips of different branches:
:SOURce :SENSe :POWer :FREQuency :CENTer :CENTer
3.3 Subsystems
A colon (':') separates the subsystems. The subsystems, which follow the colon are of a lower level. For example, in command:
:SOURce:POWer:STARt
the start power STARt is a part of POWer subsystem, which is a part of SOURce subsystem. The stop power is also a part of :SOURce:POWer subsystem. It is specified by:
:SOURce:POWer:STOP
The first colon in the line can be omitted, for example:
SOURce:POWer:STOP
Page 25
S2VNA and S4VNA SCPI Programming Manual
25
3.4 Optional Subsystems
Some subsystems can be specified as optional, if omission of such a subsystem will not lead to ambiguity. This means that the subsystem can be omitted in command line. The optional subsystems are bracketed ("[]"). For example, if full command specification is written as:
SOURce:POWer[:LEVel]:SLOPe[:DATA]
subsystems LEVel and DATA are optional. Therefore the both commands are valid:
SOURce:POWer:LEVel:SLOPe:DATA
SOURce:POWer:SLOPe
3.5 Long and Short Formats
Each keyword in a command specification has a long format and a short format. The short format of a command is indicated by capital letters. For example, a command specification:
SENSe:FREQuency:CENTer
can be written as:
SENS:FREQ:CENT
SENS:FREQ:CENTer
Only long or short form of each keyword is acceptable. For example, the following specification is incorrect:
:SENS:FREQuen:CEN
3.6 Case Sensitivity
The commands are not case sensitive. Upper case and lower case letters are only used to indicate the long and short formats of a command specification. For example, the following commands are equivalent:
SENS:FREQ:STAR
sens:freq:star
3.7 Parameters
The commands can have parameters. The parameters are separated from the command by a space. If a command has several parameters, they are separated by commas (',').
Page 26
S2VNA and S4VNA SCPI Programming Manual
26
3.7.1 Numeric Values
The numeric values are integer or real numbers. These parameters can have measurement units. For example:
SENS:FREQ 1000000000
SENS:FREQ 1000 MHz
SENS:FREQ 1 GHz
SENS:FREQ 1E9
3.7.1.1 Multiplier Prefixes
The SCPI standard allows specification of the numeric values with multiplier prefix to the measurement units.
Prefix Multiplier
A 1e–18 F 1e–15 P 1e–12 N 1e–9 U 18–6 M 1e–3 K 1e3 MA 1e6 G 1e9 T 1e12 PE 1e15 EX 1e18
There are two exceptions to the above designation: prefix M in combination with HZ or OHM means 1e6 (Mega), and not 1e–3 (milli), i.e. MHZ means Megahertz, same as MAHZ.
Page 27
S2VNA and S4VNA SCPI Programming Manual
27
3.7.1.2 Notations
The SCPI standard allows numeric value specification in different notations. Decimal notation is used by default. To use other notations, specify the numeric values in the following way:
Notation Prefix Example
Binary #B
#B11001010 = 202
10
Octal #Q
#Q107 = 71
10
Hexadecimal #H
#H10FF = 4351
10
3.7.2 Booleans
The booleans can assume two values: logical yes and logical no (ON and OFF), and specified in command as:
ON or 1
– logical yes
OFF or 0
– logical no
For example:
DISPlay:ENABle OFF
DISPlay:ENABle 0
3.7.3 Character Data
The SCPI standard allows specification of parameters as character data, as in the following command:
TRIGger:SOURce {BUS|IMMediate|EXTernal}
the possible values of the character data – "BUS", "IMMediate", "EXTernal".
The character data have long and short format, and the formats are specified in accordance with the same rules as described in Section 3.5.
Apart from that, the character data can be combined with numerical parameters. For example:
SENSe:FREQuency:STARt {MINimum|MAXimum|<value>}
The following specifications are acceptable:
Page 28
S2VNA and S4VNA SCPI Programming Manual
28
SENSe:FREQuency:STARt MIN
SENSe:FREQuency:STARt maximum
SENSe:FREQuency:STARt 1000000
3.7.4 String Parameters
In some cases, the Analyzer can accept parameters made of character strings. Such strings are enclosed with single quotes (') or double quotes ("). For example, the file name in the state saving command:
MMEMory:STORe "state01.sta"
3.7.5 Numeric Lists
The numeric lists (<numeric list>) are used to specify a variable number of numerical parameters, for example:
CALC:LIMit:DATA 2,1,1E9,3E9,0,0,2,1E9,3E9,–3,–3
3.8 Query Commands
The query commands read out the parameter values from the Analyzer. After a query command has been sent, the response should return via remote control interface.
The query commands has a question mark ('?') in the end of the command. Many of the commands have two forms. The form with a question mark writes the parameter, the form without a question mark reads out the parameter. For expample:
SENSe:FREQuency:STARt 1MHz
SENSe:FREQuency:STARt?
3.9 Numeric Suffixes
The Analyzer contains several items of the same type, such as 16 channels, each of which in turn contains 16 traces, etc. A numeric suffix is used to denote the item number in a command. The suffix is added to the keyword of the item (channel, trace, etc). For expample, in the following specification the channel number <Ch> and trace number <Tr> indicate the channel and trace, to which this command is addressed:
CALCulate<Ch>:PARameter<Tr>:DEFine
Page 29
S2VNA and S4VNA SCPI Programming Manual
29
According to this specification, the command referred to the trace 2 of the channel 1 will be written as follows:
CALC1:PAR2:DEF
The numeric suffix can be omitted. In this case, it is 1 by default. For example, the following commands are equivalent:
CALC:PAR:DEF
CALC1:PAR1:DEF
3.10 Compound Commands
It is possible to enter more than one command in the same command line. The commands in the line are separated by a semicolon (';'). The specification of the first command is valid for the following command, except for the last leaf before the semicolon. For expample:
SENS:FREQ:STAR 1 MHZ;STOP 2MHZ
If you need to start the next command from the highest level of the structure, this command should start from a colon (':'):
SENS:FREQ:STAR 1 MHZ;:CALC:PAR:DEF S21

CALCulate
<Ch>
[:SELected]:LIMit:DATA?
Description
Sets the data array, which is the limit line in the limit test function.
The array size is 1 + 5N, where N is the number of limit line segments.
For the n–th point, where n from 1 to N:
<numeric 1>
the number of limit line segments N is from 0 to
100. Setting 0 clears the limit line.
<numeric 5n–3>
type of the n–th limit line segment
0: Off. 1: Upper limit 2: Lower limit 3: Single Point limit
<numeric 5n–2>
the stimulus value in the start point of the n–th
segment
<numeric 5n–1>
the stimulus value in the end point of the n–th
segment
<numeric 5n–0>
the response value in the start point of the n–th
segment
<numeric 5n+1>
the response value in the end point of the n–th
segment
(command/query)
Target
The active trace of channel
<Ch>
,
<Ch>={[1]|2|...16}
Query Response
<numeric 1>, <numeric 2>
, …
<numeric 5N+1>
Notes
If the array size is not 1 + 5N, where N is <numeric 1>, an error occurs. If
<numeric 5n–3> is less than 0 or more than 2, an error occurs. When <numeric 5n–2>, <numeric 5n–1>, <numeric 5n–0>, and <numeric 5n+1>
elements are out of allowable range, the value is set to the limit, which is closer to the specified value.
