How do I find a tcp/ip port number?

Chances are the instrument is simply using ports 546 and 547. Lots of applications just pick a port number without realizing they are reserved. There is nothing magic about the port numbers though If you are in an isolated network and both sides agree on the ports numbers anything can be used. It is best though to use port numbers which are not reserved. Ports 0 - 1023 are the well known ports and should not be used. Ports 1024 through 49151 are registered ports. Technically these should be registered with the IANA. The range for unregistered dynamic ports is from 49152 through 65535.

 

Also, since the trace is showing the communication over UDP you cannot use the TCP primatves (or VISA-TCP) to communicate with the device. You need to use the UDP primatives.

Thanks Mark for the information - I assume you determined that by my screen dump.

 

I will look up UDP primatives, unless you have some reference information you send me a link to.  

 

By the way, this product is connected to an isolated network.
