Installing a new software version
Administrator rights are necessary for installation and starting.
1. Download the R&S SGMA-GUI software.
2. In Windows Explorer, double-click SGMA-GUI_V.VV.VVV.VVV.exe. Follow the
instructions.
After the installation of the R&S SGMA-GUI software, two icons will be shown in your
Windows menu: one is the standard version and one for which the remote command of
the software through SCPIs is disabled. The SCPI disabled version allows you to install
and use the R&S SGMA-GUI on other instruments, without interfering with the remote
control of the host instrument.
Start the version that is required for your application.
Uninstalling an old software version
An uninstallation of a previous version of the SW can be performed before the installa-
tion of the new one, but this is not mandatory.
► To uninstall this version, go to "Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove
Programs" and select the entry SGMA-GUI_V.VV.VVV.VVV.
The script file identifies and removes all currently installed R&S SGMA-GUI soft-
ware items.
2.3.2 Connecting a Remote PC via LAN
The R&S SGS is equipped with a network interface and can be connected to an Ether-
net LAN (local area network). The interface can be used, for example:
●
To connect an external computer for manual control of the instrument by the R&S
SGMA-GUI software.
●
To operate the device by a remote control program.
See Chapter 10, "Network and Remote Control Operation", on page 162.
