Driving four-section attenuators and switches

– To use one four-section attenuator assembly, connect an attenuator interface cable either to

the ATTEN X output (A6J1) or ATTEN Y output (A6J2). Connect all outputs (two for 11713D and four for 11713E) to have more than four attenuator segments.

– A typical connection for a programmable four-section attenuator to 11713D is illustrated in

Figure 2-2, together with pin number for each connector.

– Using these same connections to Keysight 8762 or 8765 series coaxial switches, control can be

extended to number of switches in multiple of four. If S9 and S0 outputs are utilized, 11713D and 11713E can drive up to 10 switches and 20 switches respectively.

Installation 2

Figure 2-2 Typical connection for a programmable four-section attenuator

Driving additional coaxial switches

– Make switch connections to S0 outputs, S9 outputs, or to rear panel ATTEN X output or ATTEN

Y output.

– Figure 2-3 below shows the rear panel connections to S0 outputs and the corresponding switch

positions reflected by pushbutton indicators.

– Connections to Keysight 8762 or 8765 series coaxial switches can also be made to the ATTEN X

output or ATTEN Y output as illustrated in Figure 2-2.

Driving relays

NOTE

CAUTION

NOTE

– To drive ten devices for 11713D, connect attenuator cables at ATTEN X and Y and switch cables

to S9 and S0.

– A total of 10 relays may be on at one time if the total current is less than 3.4 A. However, since

there are dual transistor and relay drivers, where one driver is on while the other is off, a total of 20 relays may be controlled.

– Figure 2-4 below shows the connections for a simplified relay driving circuit. The circuit is

adaptable for simple non-latching relays.

Installation 2

11713E is capable of driving double the amount of devices that 11713D can. However, the total load current that can be consumed is still 3.4 A.

If the total load current of 3.4 A is exceeded, damage may result.

Figure 2-4 Typical connection for relay driving circuit

It is also recommended that two 28.7 V zener diodes be connected back-to-back across the relay coils to reduce voltage transients.

Configuring Remote Interface 64 Control using Keysight IO Libraries Suite 66 Programming Guide (SCPI) 67

This chapter provides the programming guide for the 11713D/E in SCPI commands.

6 Remote Operations

NOTE

Configuring Remote Interface

This section briefly describes how to configure the GPIB, USB, and LAN remote interfaces.

For more detailed information on remote interface connectivity configuration, refer to the Keysight Technologies USB/LAN/GPIB Interfaces Connectivity Guide. If you have installed the IO Libraries Suite, you can access the Connectivity Guide via the Keysight IO Libraries Control icon. Alternatively, you can access the Connectivity Guide via the Web at www.keysight.com/find/

connectivity.

The latest version of Keysight IO Libraries Suite can be downloaded from

www.keysight.com/find/iosuitedownload. The Keysight Instrument Control

DVD, with the above software, is no longer shipped with Keysight instruments. If you require a Keysight Instrument Control DVD, it can be ordered by contacting your local Keysight Customer Contact Center.

Interface selection

You can choose to control the 11713D/E remotely using the GPIB, USB, or LAN interfaces.

For information on selecting and configuring the remote interface manually from the driver front panel or remotely via virtual front panel, refer to Chapter 5, "Local Operations".

GPIB configuration

Each device on the GPIB (IEEE-488) interface must have a unique address. You can set the 11713D/E’s address to any value between 0 and 30. The attenuator/switch driver is shipped with a default address set to 28. The GPIB address is stored in non-volatile memory and does not change when the driver is switched off or after a remote interface reset.

For information on setting the GPIB address manually from the front panel, refer to “Connecting

over GPIB” on page 92.

USB configuration

The USB interface requires no front panel or remote configuration. The USB cannot be changed — it is set at the factory and is unique for each 11713D/E.

It is expected that most users will use the front panel keys to set up the remote interfaces. The remote interface commands are provided for completeness (for front panel operation).

For further information on USB configuration, refer to “Connecting over USB” on page 93.

64 Keysight 11713D/E Operating and Service Manual

LAN configuration

NOTE

The 11713D/E has three LAN operating modes:

– Dynamic mode (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol or DHCP)

– Auto IP mode (Local PC Control or isolated LAN)

– Static mode (Manual mode)

Refer to “Connecting over LAN” on page 94 to configure the above LAN operating modes.

Remote Operations 6

Before connecting the USB cable, make sure that I/O software is installed on your computer.

For more information about Keysight IO Libraries software, refer to the Connectivity Guide. If you have installed other I/O software, refer to the documentation that accompanies the software.

Control using Keysight IO Libraries Suite

The Keysight IO Libraries Suite is a collection of libraries that provides an ability to use the Keysight instruments from a test and measurement program. Figure 6-1 shows an example of controlling the instrument via Keysight IO Libraries Suite (when the IP address of the 11713E is 10.74.76.53). Please ensure the remote instrument name is selected.

Programming Guide (SCPI)

SCPI command syntax

The following conventions are used for SCPI command syntax for remote interface programming.

– Square brackets ([]) indicate optional keywords or parameters

– Braces ({}) enclose parameter choices within a command string

– Angle brackets (<>) enclose parameters for which you must specify a value

– A vertical bar (|) separates multiple parameters

Rules for using a channel or scan list

Many of the SCPI commands include a channel list or scan list parameter which allows you to specify one or more channels. The channel number has the form (@bnn), where b is the bank number and nn is the channel number.

Channel list is from 101 to 110 for bank 1 and 201 to 210 for bank 2.

You can specify a bank, a single channel, multiple channels, or a range of channels as described below.

– The following command closes a single channel (channel 4) on bank 1:

Remote Operations 6

ROUTe:CLOSe (@104)

– The following command closes multiple channels on modules in banks 1 and 2:

– The following command closes a range of channels. When you specify a range of channels, the

range may contain invalid channels (they are ignored), but the first and last channel in the list must be valid:
