3.5.7 Remote Control
In addition to working with the R&S SMW interactively, located directly at the instru-
ment, it is also possible to operate and control it from a remote PC.
The R&S SMW supports various methods for remote control:
●
Connecting the instrument to a LAN (see Chapter 3.1.7, "Connecting to LAN",
on page 31)
●
Using the LXI browser interface in a LAN
●
Connecting a PC via the IEC-bus (IEEE 488) interface
●
Remote control via the USB interface
For remote control over LAN or USB, you can use the R&S VISA (Virtual Instrument
Software Architecture) library provided for download at the Rohde & Schwarz website
http://www.rohde-schwarz.com/rsvisa.
How to configure the remote control interfaces is described in Chapter 13, "Network
Operation and Remote Control", on page 773.
3.5.8 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 SMW, 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.
For more information, refer to Chapter 13.9, "Operating the R&S SMW Remotely via
VNC", on page 831.
