Setup the VNA and Verification Performance Software communication

The Performance Verification Software program must be set-up to communicate with the VNA. To locate the

VNA Network Address, on the VNA select: Main Menu | System | Network Interface.

Refer to Figure 9. To set-up the VNA/Performance Verification Software (PVS) program communication:

1. From the PVS Select Interface pull down menu:

a. For MS46122B, select TcpipSocket (TCP port number is 5001).

b. For MS46322B, MS46522B, and MS46524B, select Tcpi p , either raw socket with TCP port number

5001) or VXI-11.

c. For ME7868A, select Tc p i p raw socket (TCP port number is 5001).

2. Locate the PVS Address field.

3. Enter the IP Address as is displayed from the VNA Network Interface IP Address.

4. Enter the TCP Port number from the Network Interface menu into the Port field.

Note

ShockLine Software must be running when running PVS with a single controller on a MS46122B.

When running the PVS for a MS46122B, enter local host address (127.0.0.1) into the PVS Address

field and enter 5001 into the Port field.
