Identifying a specific instrument
If several instruments are active in the R&S SGMA-GUI, use one of the device identifi-
cation functions to identify a specific device:
●
Select "SGMA-GUI > Instrument Name > Setup > Remote > Remote Channels >
Device Identify". The green [LAN] LED on the front panel of the instrument blinks.
●
Press the [ID] key on the instrument's front panel. The "Edit Instrument" dialog of
the respective instrument opens.
5.2 Configuring a CW Signal with the R&S SGS100A Web-
GUI
The R&S SGS100A Web-GUI is an alternative way to operate the R&S SGS. There is
no installation needed. It can be used with all devices and operating systems, including
tablets and smart phones, which have one of the following web browsers installed:
●
Mozilla Firefox
●
Google Chrome
●
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 or later
To connect to the R&S SGS from an external device, both of them must have access to
the same network, i.e. use a shared network.
The feature set of the R&S SGS100A Web-GUI is limited to the most common settings,
needed especially for modifying the output signal. For additional actions like firmware
updates or adjustments, please use the R&S SGMA-GUI.
You can operate the R&S SGS100A Web-GUI and the R&S SGMA-GUI simultane-
ously. Furthermore you can enable the "Update" function (upper right corner) to allow
an automatic update of the settings shown in the R&S SGS100A Web-GUI, if the set-
tings were changed via other software.
As a prerequisite for this example, the R&S SGS has to be connected to the same net-
work as the device used for controlling the instrument. Also one of the supported web
browsers has to be available.
1. Check the front panel of the R&S SGS.
The [POWER ON/STANDBY] and the [LAN] key have to be green.
2. Open a supported web browser.
3. Enter the instrument name or the IP address of the R&S SGS you want to connect
to.
Tip: The default hostname of the instrument is a non case-sensitive string built as
follows:
hostname = rssgs100a<serial number>, where
<serial number> is the individual serial number of the instrument.
