3.5.1 Possible Ways to Operate the Instrument
There are three ways to operate the R&S SMW:
●
Manual operation:
Use the touchscreen, hard keys and rotary knob, or an optional mouse and/or key-
board.
The description under Chapter 3.5, "Instrument Control", on page 90 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 Chapter 13, "Network Operation and Remote
Control", on page 773.
