Local operation and remote access

• The new LTB-1 and LTB-8 platforms present multiple ways to access and control instruments. This section presents some of the main use case scenarios for remotely operating your unit.
• Before listing the remote access use cases, let’s explore the automation and remote control services on the LTB platforms.
• Automation and remote control capabilities of the LTB platforms have been significantly extended compared to IQS platforms and legacy benchtops. Here are the highlights of those capabilities:
• Introduction of the HTML API for simple and direct access to instruments using any web browser running on any device (assuming proper network connection, wired or wireless)
• Introduction of the REST API for cross-platform/cross-OS application development
• Legacy SCPI interface is available with usual hardware access like Telnet, GPIB and others
• Introduction of IVI drivers for optical instruments, an established standard for the test and measurement industry

Important Reminders

• For most remote access scenarios, the remote computer and LTB-1/LTB-8 unit must be on the same network. As such, the LTB-8 has a built-in display that shows the current IP address of the AMT (management port) and the standard Ethernet port.
• Please consult the user guide for detailed instructions and configuration. For highly secured networks, please consult with your information technology (IT) department, or other specialist to ensure adequate settings.

Use Case: Local Benchtop
Scenario: Using a keyboard, a mouse and a video monitor directly linked to the LTB-8 unit. In the case of LTB-1, use the touch screen.

• This is the simplest and most direct way of controlling the unit.
• Use Case: Troubleshooting Using the LTB-8’s Front Panel Ethernet
• Scenario: Using a computer and network cable, connect to the Ethernet Management port on the LTB-8 platform.
• Unlike the IQS-605P, the LTB-8 does not have a front display; this scenario helps you easily access the unit without the use of an external keyboard, mouse, and display for troubleshooting or monitoring, including the capability to reboot the unit. This scenario involves the use of Intel® Active Management Technology (AMT) and UltraVNC, which must be installed on the computer prior to establishing the Ethernet connection.
• AMT can be downloaded from the EXFO Apps website at http://www.exfo.com/software/exfo-apps. Simply click on the PC Software tab download the AMT Remote Access kit, start installation, and follow the on-screen instructions.
• UltraVNC software can be downloaded from their website: http://www.uvnc.com/downloads/ultravnc.html.
• NOTE: You do not need a cross-over Ethernet cable because the management port on the LTB-8 unit will automatically switch Tx/Rx signals. Make sure to plug the Ethernet cable in a port showing a wrench icon, indicating a management port capability.
• Use Case: Remote Control Using UltraVNC or Remote Desktop Connection
• Scenario: Using any laptop or workstation, see and control the LTB-1/LTB-8 as if you were in front of the unit.
• Just like the IQS-600 platforms, remote access and control is possible from anywhere on the network using UltraVNC or Windows Remote Desktop Connection as long as the remote computer is on the same network as the LTB-1/LTB-8 unit.
• UltraVNC: Before establishing a VNC remote control session, UltraVNC software must be installed on the remote computer and UltraVNC Server must be configured and activated in the System Settings tab of ToolBox X. Please consult the platform user guide for details.
• Remote Desktop Connection: In the case of Remote Desktop Connection, the network security settings must allow the remote computer to log on to the LTB-1/LTB-8 unit. Please make sure you change the LTB platform’s remote settings in order to allow remote desktop connections. (Control Panel -> System -> Remote settings)
• Use Case: Monitoring Optical Modules Using a Web User Interface (UI)
• Scenario 1: Using any device with a web browser, access the LTB-1/LTB-8 optical application and monitor any of the optical modules as if you were using the same application from the platform’s user interface.
• Make sure the remote device has network access to the LTB-1/LTB-8 unit. Using the HTTP address of the LTB-1/LTB-8, you can access the module application as if the application had been launched on the unit.
• For example, using the IP address displayed on the LTB-8 unit, a remote operator could enter the URL with the IP address in a web browser to access the LTB-8.
• Note: the IP address can be obtained using the IPConfig tool at the command line on the LTB-1 platform.
• The URL would look like this: http://169.254.223.5.
• The platform’s default HTML page is a list of the available instruments with a direct link to each instrument. You will have access to the same level of control and values as if running the instrument application.
• Scenario 2: Using any laptop or workstation to control transport and datacom modules as if you were running the application locally.
• Remote ToolBox must be installed on the laptop or workstation prior to connecting to the LTB-8 platform.
• It can be downloaded from the EXFO Apps website at http://www.exfo.com/software/exfo-apps. Click on the PC Software tab and select Remote ToolBox to download it. software and download it.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to install this software.
• NOTE: optical modules are not available in Remote ToolBox. For instructions, please refer to the use case above entitled Monitoring Optical Modules Using a Web User Interface (UI).

Changes to automation using SCPI and programming interfaces

• The LTB-1 and LTB-8 units can be automated using SCPI commands as was the case with the IQS-600 and legacy benchtop units.
• Every effort has been made to maintain the compatibility between new and legacy command sets; however, there are some minor changes for both platforms.
• This section presents the changes from IQS and legacy benchtop units to the LTB-8 and LTB-1.

Specific Changes Applicable to Both the LTB-1 and LTB-8

• GPIB: Communication Provided Through a USB Accessory
• The LTB-1 and LTB-8 do not have GPIB connector ports. The GPIB capability is provided through a dedicated USB-to-GPIB cable. You will need to install NI 488.2 software on the LTB-1 or LTB-8 prior to using the USB-to-GPIB adapter cable. This cable is shipped with the required software. The reference number for this accessory is GP-2258. Please refer to the user guide for more information.

Specific Changes for the IQS to LTB-8 Transition

• Instrument Numbering
• The SCPI script must still prefix each instrument command with LINSx: where x represents the designated logical instrument number (LINS). The LINS identification is no longer attached to the module location in the LTB-8 unit.
• The user can configure the logical instrument number and whether the module is accessible remotely. A default LINS number will be assigned, but it can be modified using the Remote Control Configuration settings.
• If the instrument has remote control capabilities, then this will be enabled by default. The user can disable remote control by modifying the Remote Control Configuration settings (see Figure 1 below).
• Please note that, unlike the IQS-600, the unit number is not part of the instrument number.
• As such, the LINS numbering starts at 1. As with IQS platforms, available LINS numbers can be listed from the remote location by using the “INST:CAT: FULL?” SCPI command.

Multiple Instances of Communication Links With More Than Eight (8) Instruments

• The LTB-8 cannot be “daisy chained,” as was the case with the IQS-600. The LTB-8 is limited to eight physical modules—and therefore eight instruments—which is why a separate communication link must be established with each platform when an application or a script needs to “talk” with more than eight instruments. The same logic applies if two instruments are located in two separate LTB-8 platforms.

Specific Changes for the Legacy Benchtop to LTB-1 Transition

Instrument Numbering

• The most important change for legacy benchtop SCPI scripts is the new requirement for them to include a reference to the logical instrument number (LINS) in front of the effective SCPI command. As a result, the LINSx prefix is now applicable to benchtop scripts.
• For example, a SCPI command for setting a current attenuation of FVA-3150 “INP: ATT 12.5 DB” will now require a prefix; the equivalent could be “LINS1:INP: ATT 12.5 DB” with 1 as the designated instrument number. Remote Control Configuration is used to change instrument settings on the LTB-1/LTB-8 platform.
• Multiple Instances of Communication Links With More Than Two Instruments
• As indicated earlier in this document, the LTB-1 is limited to one or two physical modules, depending on hardware configuration. A separate communication link must be established with each platform when an application or an automation script needs to “talk” with more than one or two instruments.

Automating Optical Modules Using LabView

• LTB platforms and optical modules are delivered with new IVI drivers as a replacement for legacy LabView drivers previously used with the IQS-600.
• The new EXFO IVI drivers can be downloaded from EXFO’s Apps website: www.exfo.com/software/exfo-apps. Go to PC Software and download the IVI drivers kit, start installation, and follow the on-screen instructions.
• For more detailed information, please refer to the IVI Foundation’s website for tutorials and introduction videos: http://www.ivifoundation.org/resources/default.aspx

General Reminder

• No changes were made to IEEE-488.2 commands from IQS, FVA, or PM platforms; CLS, IDN? and SYST: ERR? commands are present and have the same behavior.
• The system SCPI command INST:CAT: FULL? will return the current instrument inventory with the designated LINS number.
• Please note that if you are using Telnet or ActiveX on the LTB-1/ LTB-8 unit—for example, running a SCPI script locally on the unit—the settings for remote control must be set to Remote to access the SCPI functionality.

Detailed changes to SCPI

• This section of the document details the changes to the SCPI commands hierarchy when going from existing devices (IQS, PM, FVA) to the new LTB product family.
• Although SCPI command syntax is identical to legacy instruments, there may be changes in the internal behavior of the command. Every effort has been made to minimize the functionality changes but there are some minor unavoidable differences. If you are not sure whether functionality changes could affect your tests, please consult the specific SCPI command documentation in the instruments user guide.
• Tables list only the changes to the existing SCPI commands. For new commands, please see the listings in the High-Performance Power Meter user guide.

Changes From the PM-1600 to the FTB-1750 Command Tree

• NOTE: Remember that a LINSx prefix must be added to all SCPI commands in legacy scripts.
• For example: if you have the PM-1600 command “UNIT: POW W”, then you will need to change it to “LINS1:UNIT: POW W”.
• When using new command syntax the target detector port must be specified with each command. The implicit detector port will always be channel 1.
• Unless otherwise specified, the legacy SCPI commands can still be used on the new platform.

Changes From the FVA-3150 to the FTB-3500 Command Tree

• NOTE: Remember that a LINSx prefix must be added to all SCPI commands in legacy scripts.
• Example: if you have the FVA-3150 command “INP: ATT 12.5 DB”, then you will need to change it to “LINS1:INP: ATT 12.5 DB”.
• Unless otherwise specified, the legacy SCPI commands are still used on the new platform.
