Network Agent Based on VISA Framework for Instruments
Meng Yi Zhao, You Mou Li, Meng Guo · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2014
With the rapid development of computer networks,more and more measurements need to relay on the network.But there are only a small amount of instruments with network interface.To access the network,we design a network agent for the instruments with different interfaces. We connect the host with the instrument through the network agent.The agent communicates with the host by using HiSLIP(High-Speed LAN Instrument Protocol ).The client soft front panel controls the instrument based on the VISA(Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) and HiSLIP.We use the Labwindow/CVI to design the soft panel.We can use the soft front panel to manipulate the instrument by the agent quickly and easily.
