10 Network operation and remote control
As an alternative to the interactive operation directly at the instrument, you can operate
the R&S LCX also from a remote control location, for example a controller PC.
The various interfaces provide flexible access to the instrument, such as remote con-
trol, remote operation or remote file access. These remote access modes are funda-
mentally different, although they are often considered interchangeable, as described in
Overview of remote access modes.
Figure 10-1 shows the possibilities of the physical connection (interfaces) for remote
access.
The following descriptions provide information required for operating the R&S LCX
remotely. The information applies to all applications and operating modes supported by
the instrument. Definitions specified in the SCPI standard are not provided.
For basic knowledge on remote control operation and additional information, see the
