I am trying to program a UXG N5193 with SCPI commands via UDP in C++. I am able to open a socket and send packets to the UXG; however, the normal SCPI commands that work in Labview with the VISA protocol do not seem to work with the UXG. I am sending the UDP commands to Port 5025.
Is the N5193 UXG able to accept SCPI commands via UDP on port 5025? Is there something I might be missing?
Did you follow this procedure?
To use Sockets, it must be enabled on the signal generator. By default, it is on. To ensure it is on, use the following steps:
Press System > I/O Config > LAN Services Setup > SCPI Services.
Ensure that the softkey, Sockets SCPI Off On is set to On.
If it is set to Off:
Press SCPI Services > Sockets SCPI Off On until On is highlighted.
Press Return > Proceed with Reconfiguration > Confirm Change (Instrument will Reboot).
The signal generator reboots and when finished, the sockets protocol is ready for use.
When using sockets, you must select the signal generator’s sockets port number of 5025.
Sockets SCPI is set to on, but UDP SCPI commands are not working.
I am sending the commands to Port 5025. I thought that was the default UDP port of the UXG. If not, is there somewhere that the port must be set on the N5193 UXG?
The same SCPI commands work via TCP/IP on port 5025, but do not work via UDP with essentially the same socket code with a couple of minor tweaks. Does the N5193 work with UDP commands? Is there a different port for UDP?
Using Wireshark, UDP transmissions report "Destination Unreachable (Port Unreachable)" when sending via UDP, but acks and accepts SCPI commands on Port 5025 via TCP/IP
I'm told the N5193A is only TCP/IP. We can have an application engineer contact you to help if you provide an email address.
