Can USBTMC devices be accessed over a network using nivisaserver on Scientific Linux?

Hello,

 

I have v15.1 of NI-488.2 & NI-VISA running on Scientific Linux 6.7 on a 32-bit thin client computer. This computer has a PCI-GPIB adaptor installed and has several network/serial/USB ports. This allows all the equipment I have to be accessed over the network using VISA Remote Server.

 

I've just connected a USBTMC device (a Tektronix AFG3022C), but this doesn't appear under the list of devices being exposed by the NI-VISA server when viewed in MAX from my desktop PC.

 

Looking on the thin client, I see the device appears under \dev\usbtmc0 and doing an lsusb -v, I see the following:

 

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0699:034a Tektronix, Inc.
Device Descriptor:
bLength 18
bDescriptorType 1
bcdUSB 2.00
bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level)
bDeviceSubClass 0
bDeviceProtocol 0
bMaxPacketSize0 64
idVendor 0x0699 Tektronix, Inc.
idProduct 0x034a
bcdDevice 0.42
iManufacturer 1 Tektronix, Inc.
iProduct 2 Tektronix AFG3022C
iSerial 3 C021006
bNumConfigurations 1

 

Can nivisaserver (v15.1) be configured to enable the exporting of USBTMC devices over the network, just as it currently does GPIB and serial devices?

 

Best regards,

Alex
