7.1 Possible Ways to Operate the Instrument
There are three ways to operate the R&S SMA100B:
●
Manual operation:
Use the touchscreen, hard keys and rotary knob, or an optional mouse and/or
keyboard.
The following description shows how to operate the instrument manually.
●
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 user manual, chapter "Network and
Remote Control Operation".
●
Remote operation from a computer:
Remote monitoring and control of the instrument from a connected computer
is based on the common cross-platform technology VNC (Virtual Network
Computing). On the remote computer, any standard web browser (supporting
Java) or a dedicated VNC client (like Ultr@VNC) can be used. See also Chap-
ter 7.8, "Remote Operation over VNC", on page 62.
