Embedded Web Server: Using the X-Series EMI Receiver Remotely
The instrument can be controlled using either the Embedded Web Server or
Windows Remote Desktop. The Embedded Web Server is a good solution
when you do not want to log into the instrument's user account. This allows
you to view the display or control the instrument, without logging the current
user off. Multiple users can connect at the same time
The web server in the X-Series EMI Receiver updates many times per second
and it has the advantage over Remote Desktop that it does not lock out the
front panel.
