5 Operating the Instrument
There are three ways to operate the R&S RTO.
Manual operation
Use the touchscreen, keys and rotary knobs, or an optional mouse and/or keyboard.
The principles of manual operation are explained in this section.
Remote control
Create programs to automatize repeating settings, tests, and measurements. The
instrument is connected to a computer running the program.
This way of operation is described in the Operating Manual, chapter "Remote Control
Commands".
Remote operation (Windows 7)
The remote desktop connection of Windows Embedded Standard 7 can be used for
instrument control and file transfer. Even on computers with non-Windows operating
systems, a remote desktop connection is possible using RDP applications.
Remote operation (Windows XP)
The Remote Desktop Connection of Windows XP is not supported for instrument con-
trol. Remote Desktop can only be used for file transfer from and to the instrument.
Remote monitoring and control of the instrument from a connected computer is possi-
ble with a standard web browser and the common cross-platform technology Virtual
Network Computing (VNC). You have to install the VNC server on the R&S RTO.
Installation and configuration is described in the Application Note "Remote Monitoring
and Control of the R&S RTO with a Web Browser", available on the Rohde & Schwarz
Internet.
5.1 Means of Manual Interaction
The R&S RTO provides the following means of manual interaction, which you can use
alternatively or complementary:
●
Touchscreen:
Using the touchscreen is the most direct interaction way. Use your finger to place
waveforms on the screen, mark areas for zoom and histograms, set parameters in
dialog boxes, enter data, and much more. Most of the control elements and actions
on the screen are based on the Windows concept, and you will easily become
familiar with the user interface.
Tapping the screen works like clicking mouse buttons:
– Tap = click: Selects a parameter or provokes an action.
