13.4 Remote Access Settings
This section outlines the settings required for accessing and configuring the provided
remote control interfaces. It includes network settings, access addresses, emulation
settings for using the command sets of other generators, and the access via smart
devices.
About instrument emulations
You can also remotely control the R&S SMW via the command set of another signal
generator. With this function you can, for example, replace a signal generator with an
R&S SMW in an automated test setup, without adjusting the command scripts used.
The R&S SMW also covers command sets of Rohde & Schwarz signal generators. To
achieve optimal compatibility when replacing an instrument, we recommend that you
select the emulation command set for the corresponding signal generator.
You find all the remote control command sets supported by the R&S SMW in a selec-
tion list.
For more information, see the application note:
1GP110: Remote Emulation with the R&S SMW200A Vector Signal Generator.
The selected instrument also defines the identification string that is retrieved with query
*IDN?. If necessary, use the parameter Mode and IDN String to change this string.
As any other parameter, the remote control command set can also be changed
remotely by the command :SYSTem:LANGuage.
While working in an emulation mode, the R&S SMW specific command set is disabled
and the SCPI command :SYSTem:LANGuage is discarded.
To return to the SCPI command set of the R&S SMW, use the appropriate command of
the selected command set.
If for example an HP generator is emulated, the HP command EX returns to the instru-
ment-specific GPIB command set.
