3.4.8  Remote operation over VNC
The VNC is an application which can be used to access and control the instrument
from a remote computer through a LAN connection. While the instrument is in opera-
tion, the instrument screen contents are displayed on the remote computer, and VNC
provides access to all applications, files, and network resources of the instrument.
Thus, remote operation of the instrument is possible.
Instrument control from a remote computer
To access the basic utility functions of the R&S SMB100B, perform a right mouse click
the block diagram and select "Key Emulation".
A key panel to the right of the block diagram gives access to the utility functions provi-
ded by the front panel keys.
The VNC is an add-on program, included in operating system Linux/Unix, and available
as a free-of-charge download on the internet.
