SCPI with OXYGEN¶
The OXYGEN SCPI remote control (RC_SCPI) interface is available via TCP networking using the TCP endpoint port number 10001. You can easily use HyperTerminal or PuTTY in raw TCP configuration and ASCII encoding to test the connection and issue SCPI commands and queries.
Note: The RC_SCPI interface permits only one active client connection to transmit TCP data. Multiple connections are not possible.
The OXYGEN software executes the received SCPI messages in sequential order. Each SCPI command and query is blocking and does not allow any further commands or queries executed until it is finished.
The internal application model of the OXYGEN software consists of major functions, potentially mapped to SCPI systems. The following table gives an overview to those mappings:
