Dear all
I am connecting an ESA 4408 using GPIB interface thru Ethernet link.
Working fine : I can see the graph and change if needed using the web interface
But : I need to change frequency, span and attenuation parameter using Visual Basic Script.
Do you know if this is possible and id yes, can some one help with the connection string to the equipment ?
Many thanks
regards

Welcome to the forum!
I think we have a programming example that will work for you. Here is a Visual Basic example for ESA that sets the center frequency and span, takes a sweep, does a marker peak search then returns the marker peak value.

You will have to modify the VISA address in the program to reflect your gateway's IP address and the gpib address of the ESA. For example, on my system it is TCPIP0::141.121.90.146::gpib0,15::INSTR
Use the IP adress from your own gateway and the GP-IB address of your ESA.
TCPIP0::YOUR_GATEWAY_IP_ADDRESS::gpib0,YOUR_ESA_GPIB_ADDRESS::INSTR
