SSG5000A Programming Guide 5

1. Programming Overview

The SSG5080A supports both USB and LAN interfaces. By using these interfaces, in

combination with NI-VISA and programming languages, users can remotely control the

signal generator. The instrument comes with an embedded web interface; VXI-11,

Sockets and Telnet protocols can be used to communicate with the signal generator.

This chapter introduces how to build communication between the signal generator

and the PC. It also introduces the remote control capabilities.

1.1 Build Communication

1.1.1 Build Communication Using VISA

1. Install NI-VISA

Before programming, you will need to install NI-VISA, which you can download from

the National Instruments VISA web site. There are full and Run-Time Engine

versions of NI-VISA. The full version includes the NI device driver and a tool

named NI MAX which is a user interface to control the device. The Run-Time Engine

version is a smaller file than the full version only includes the NI device driver.

For example, you can get NI-VISA 18.0 full version from:

http://www.ni.com/download/ni-visa-18.0/7597/en/.

You can also download NI-VISA Run-Time Engine 18.0 to your PC and install it as

default selection. Its installation process is similar with the full version.

After you downloaded the file you can follow the steps below to install it:

a.Double click the NIVISA1800full.exe, dialog shown as below:

b.Click Unzip, the installation process will automatically launch after

unzipping files. If your computer needs to install .NET Framework 4.6.2, its

setup process will auto start.

SIGLENT

6 SSG5000A Programming Guide

c.The NI-VISA installing dialog is shown above. Click Next to start the

installation process.

Set the install path, default path is “C:\Program Files\National Instruments\”,

you can change it. Click Next, dialog shown as above.

d.Click Next twice, in the License Agreement dialog, select the “I accept the

above 2 License Agreement(s).”, and click Next, “Start Installation”dialog

shown.

e.Click Next to run installation.

Now the installation is complete, reboot your PC.

2. Connect the Instrument

Depending on your specific model, your signal generator may be able to communicate

with a PC through the USB or LAN interface. This manual uses the USB connection in

the examples. (For instructions to communicate with a PC through the LAN interface

see the User Manual.)

a.Connect the USB Device interface at the rear panel of the signal generator and

the USB Host interface of the PC using a USB cable. Assuming your PC is already

turned on, turn on your signal generator and your PC will display the “Device

Setup” screen as it automatically installs the device driver as shown below.

b.Wait for the installation to complete and then proceed to the next step.

1.1.2 Build Communication Using Sockets

LAN communication using Sockets uses the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet

Protocol (TCP/IP) layer that is included with many operating systems. A socket is

a fundamental technology used for computer networking and allows applications to

communicate using standard mechanisms built into network hardware and operating

systems. The method accesses a port on the signal generator from which

bidirectional communication with a network computer can be established. Unlike

VISA, this technique uses currently available resources and doesn’t require

additional software/hardware to run.

Before you can use sockets, you must select the signal generator socket port

number to use:

⚫Standard mode. Available on port 5025. Use this port for simple programming.

⚫Telnet mode. The telnet SCPI service is available on port 5024.

1.1.3 Connecting the signal generator via the USB

Host port

Refer to the following steps to finish the connection via USB:

1. Install NI-VISA on your PC for GPIB driver.

2. Connect the signal generator USB Host port to a PC’s GPIB card port,

with SIGLENT USB-GPIB adaptor.

3. Switch on the signal generator.

4. Press button on the front panel System →Interface →GPIB to enter the

SIGLENT

SSG5000A Programming Guide 9

GPIB number.

The signal generator will be detected automatically as a new GPIB point.

1.2 Remote Control Capabilities

1.2.1 User-defined Programming

Users can use SCPI commands to program and control the signal generator. For

details, refer to the introductions in “Programming Examples”.

1.2.2 Send SCPI Commands via NI-MAX

Users can control the signal generator remotely by sending SCPI commands via NI-

MAX software.

1.2.2.1 Using USB

Run NI MAX software.

1. Click “Device and interface” at the upper left corner of the software.

2. Find the “USBTMC” device symbol.

3. Click “Open VISA Test Panel” option button, then the following interface

will appear.

4. Click the “Input/Output” option button and click the “Query” option

button in order to view the operation information.

SIGLENT

10 SSG5000A Programming Guide

NOTE: The “*IDN?” command (known as the Identification Query) returns the

instrument manufacturer, instrument model, serial number, and other

identification information.

1.2.2.2 Using LAN

Add a Network Device, and select a VISA TCP/IP Resource as shown:

Run NI MAX software.

1. Click “Device and interface” at the upper left corner of the software

2. Find the “Network Devices” symbol, click “Add Network Devices”

3. Select Manual Entry of LAN instrument, select Next, and enter the IP address

as shown.

Click Finish to establish the connection:
