2.5 Administrative Tasks
This chapter describes administrative tasks like software update and preparation of the
instrument for remote control or for control via a "Remote Desktop" connection.
2.5.1 Windows XP
The R&S CMW500 is equipped with a Windows XP operating system which has been
configured according to the instrument's features and needs.
Changes in the system configuration can be necessary in order to:
● allow "Remote Desktop" connections, see chapter 2.5.3.3, "Remote Desktop Con-
nection", on page 48
● customize the properties of external devices connected to the R&S CMW500, see
chapter 2.2.3, "Connecting External Devices", on page 25
●
call up additional software tools
Configuration of the operating system, updates
The operating system is adapted to the R&S CMW500. To avoid impairment of instrument
functions, only change the settings described in this documentation. Existing software
must be modified only with software updates released by Rohde & Schwarz. Likewise,
only programs authorized by Rohde & Schwarz for use on the instrument must be exe-
cuted.
Files in D:\Rohde-Schwarz\CMW
This directory contains files that are part of the R&S CMW500 installation. To avoid
impairment of instrument functions, always use functions offered by the instrument to
modify or delete files in directory D:\Rohde-Schwarz\CMW and its subdirectories.
Never use other programs e.g. the Windows Explorer to modify or delete files in this
directory.
To access the Windows operating system via a front panel with display, press the SYS
key.
