3.3 Operating the instrument
The following sections describe the basics of manual operation, i.e. how to access
instrument functions and settings via the analyzer GUI. Manual operation is particularly
useful for getting to know the instrument and for trouble shooting.
Manual and remote control of the instrument
In contrast to the R&S ZNB, the R&S ZNBT is primarily intended to be remote-control-
led via the GPIB or LAN interface (see chapter 'Remote Control' in the user manual).
However, all instruments can be controlled manually, either using touchscreen and
frontpanel keys (R&S ZNB only), an external monitor in combination with a mouse (see
