I have connected an R&S signal generator via USB to the ZNB.
When I execute 'Scan Instruments' in the ZNB 'External Generators' menu, the signal generator is found.
When I add the device to the 'Configured Devices', the device has a question mark in the State column. It is not correctly recognized and I cannot use this device in the Port Configuration.
What should I do?
The ZNB could not determine exactly which signal generator is connected.
Normally the ZNB sends the query *IDN? to the generator and selects the right driver based on the response.
First, check the Remote Settings of your generator to make sure it has the default identification string settings.
If this doesn't help, go to the ZNB External Generator configuration menu and use the scroll bar in the Driver column to select the correct signal generator.
Now you can configure the external generator in the Port Configuration. Afterwards, the state of this signal generator in the 'External Generators' menu should be green:
