10.3.3 Configuring the Controller
This section lists the steps necessary to configure a controller with Linux or Windows
operating system.
10.3.3.1 Building and Installing the Hardware Driver
The hardware driver defines the way to communicate with the instrument via PCIe
interface.
For Windows operating systems, the hardware driver is installed automatically together
with the installation of the R&S SGMA-GUI software.
See also section "Installation of R&S SGMA-GUI Software" in the getting started man-
ual.
For Linux operating system, the source code of the driver is included in the
Low-Level SGS drivers file.
To build and install this driver, root authority is required.
1. Copy folder KernelDriver to your hdd
2. Go to directory host.
3. On the command line, enter make.
The driver sgshost.ko is automatically built.
4. Enter make install.
Device nodes sgsX are created under the folder /dev (X from 0 to 31).
The module sgshost is loaded.
5. Enter lsmod to verify the module.
