7.6 Remote Control
In addition to working with the R&S ZNLE interactively, located directly at the
instrument, it is also possible to operate and control it from a remote PC. Various
methods for remote control are supported:
●
Connecting the instrument to a (LAN) network (see Chapter 4.5, "Setting Up a
Network (LAN) Connection", on page 26)
●
Using the LXI browser interface in a LAN network
●
Using the Windows Remote Desktop application in a LAN network
●
Connecting a PC via the GPIB interface
How to configure the remote control interfaces is described in the User Manual.
The R&S ZNLE is delivered with IECWIN installed, the auxiliary remote
control tool provided free of charge by Rohde & Schwarz.
For details on the IECWIN tool, see the "Network and Remote Control"
chapter of the R&S ZNLE User Manual.
7.6.1 Using the LXI Browser Interface in a LAN
LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation (LXI) is an instrumentation platform for mea-
suring instruments and test systems that is based on standard Ethernet technol-
ogy. LXI is intended to be the LAN-based successor to GPIB, combining the
advantages of Ethernet with the simplicity and familiarity of GPIB. The LXI
browser interface allows for easy configuration of the LAN and remote control of
the R&S ZNLE without additional installation requirements.
Via the LXI browser interface to the R&S ZNLE you can control the instrument
remotely from another PC. Manual instrument controls are available via the front
panel simulation. File upload and download between the instrument and the
remote PC is also available. Using this feature, several users can access and
operate the R&S ZNLE simultaneously. This is useful for troubleshooting or train-
ing purposes. If necessary, this feature can be deactivated.
