primary-secondary instrument mode: Setup with two or more R&S SMW or one
R&S SMW and several other signal generators such as R&S SGT or R&S SMBV that
generates synchronous and time aligned signals.
The primary instrument generates and outputs a dedicated synchronization signal
(Sync Out), that has to be fed into the secondary instruments.
See Chapter 10.3.1, "Connecting Multiple Instruments in Primary-Secondary Instru-
ment Mode", on page 640.

R
Remote access: Remote operation
Remote control: The operation of the R&S SMW by remote control commands or pro-
grams to perform automated tests. The instrument is connected to a system controller
via LAN/VXI-11, GPIB or USB using Virtual Instrument Software Architecture (VISA).
The instrument is controlled either directly, or supported by instrument drivers.
Remote device: External device controls the R&S SMW in remote operation mode,
see Remote operation.
Synonyms: External controller, Client device
Remote operation: Allows you to operate the R&S SMW from a remote device via
VNC.
Both the R&S SMW and the remote device are connected in a LAN.
Synonym: Remote access
RF: Radio Frequency
S
Separated sources: Trough this documentation this term is used as an abbreviation of
the "System Configuration > Baseband Source Configuration > Separated".
With separated baseband sources, the signal in each baseband can be and has to be
configured separately.
Serial number: Unique instrument identification, provided on the rear panel of the
instrument and required to build the Computer name.
The serial number are the last 6 digits in the string <stock no.>-<serial
number>, e.g. SMW200A-102030
See Figure 3-4.
SISO: Single Input Single Output
Slow IQ: Generation of signals with an artificially reduced speed, e.g. for testing of
FPGA-based hardware emulators.
