The screenshot will literary take a screenshot of what's visible on the screen be it a trace or a configuration screen.Д®ven more complicated screenshot for the command line die hard's: Then you will need to set the IP via instrument panel, in my case I used a static IP in the same range as the Ethernet port of the laptop.

Recently acquired a Rigol DSA815-TG 1.5Ghz spectrum analyzer and although at the moment I only use computer control for taking some screenshots would be interesting to know how to take more advantage of instrument remote control.ДЇirst thing you will need is connect your instrument via the LAN port to your local network, in my case I just connect it back to back to my laptop. Same end result as GPIB or Serial port control, that is, you have a system that controls and queries the instrument, only the medium is different on this case, it uses a more modern approach, the Ethernet/LAN. LXI is nothing more than LAN extensions for instrumentation control.

You can use also the gui version 'lxi-gui' Most of the command are using the ' lxi' tool v1.21.

It is more Linux oriented but commands can be ported to other systems.Дid this out of need since I could not find a single explanatory source of information for all the commands listed besides the programing guide and as all programing guides, they never have a simple 'how to to this' Following on the series for ' GPIB' control of instruments, this post is about LXI control, in particular the Rigol DSA815-TG spectrum analyzer.
