USB Interface

For remote control via the USB connection, the PC and the instrument must be connected via the USB type B interface. A USB connection requires the VISA library to be installed. VISA detects and configures the R&S instrument automatically when the USB connection is established. You do not have to enter an address string or install a separate driver.

USB address

The used USB address string is:

USB::<vendor ID>::<product ID>::<serial number>[::INSTR]

Where:

  • <vendor ID> is the vendor ID for Rohde&Schwarz
  • <product ID> is the product ID for the R&S instrument
  • <serial number> is the individual serial number on the rear of the instrument
Example: 

USB::0x0AAD::0x006E::100001::INSTR

0x0AAD is the vendor ID for Rohde&Schwarz

0x006E is the product ID for the R&S SMC

100001 is the serial number of the particular instrument
