7.1.2 Remote control from a controller
The remote control provides access to the instrument's settings from a remote com-
puter (external controller) by remote commands. To automate often repeating settings
and sequences, these settings are grouped in the remote control programs, i.e. appli-
cation programs.
An instrument can be connected to the controller via any of the supported interfaces
LAN, USB or PCIe.

For information about remote control, refer to Chapter 12, "Network operation and
remote control", on page 175.
7.1.3 Control of an R&S SGS from an R&S signal generator
The R&S SGS can be used as an additional signal source to increase the number of
available RF outputs of anal Generator. In this setup, a controller does not need to
access the R&S SGS directly. Instead, the signal generator acts as a controller to the
R&S SGS and depending on the required output signal parameters performs all
required settings automatically.
The Figure 7-3 shows a configuration example of the R&S SGS, directly controlled by
an R&S SMW.
