12.2 Starting a remote control session
To start a remote control session, connect the instrument and the controller with a suit-

A remote control program must open a connection to the instrument, before it can send
commands to and receive device responses from the instrument.
Instrument address
To operate the instrument via remote control, it must be addressed using the defined
interface address.
See Chapter 12.1.2, "LAN interface", on page 179, Chapter 12.1.3, "USB interface",
on page 182 or Chapter 12.1.4, "PCI Express interface", on page 182 for details.

► Select "SGMA-GUI main panel > Instrument name > Setup > Remote Channels".
