Programming Preparations
Before programming, you need to make the following preparations:
1 Make sure that your PC has installed the NI-VISA library (can be downloaded from the NI website:
http://www.ni.com/visa). Here, the default installation path is C:\Program Files\IVI Foundation\VISA.
2 Here, the USB interface of the RF signal generator is used to communicate with the PC and please use
USB cable to connect the USB DEVICE interface at the rear panel of the RF signal generator to the PC.
3 Turn on the instrument after connecting the RF signal generator and PC.
4. At this point, the "Found New Hardware Wizard" dialog box appears on the PC. Please follow the
instructions to install the "USB Test and Measurement Device (IVI)".
5. Acquire the USB VISA descriptor of the RF signal generator: run Ultra Sigma and search for the RF
signal generator currently connected to the PC. The VISA descriptor searched is displayed under the
"RIGOL Online Resource" directory, including the instrument model and the USB interface information
(namely the VISA descriptor) as shown in the figure below. Here, the VISA descriptor of the RF signal
generator is USB0::0x1AB1::0x0992::DSG3A1301080006::INSTR.
By now, the programming preparations are finished.
