5.1.2 Remote Control from a Controller
The remote control provides access to the instrument's settings from a remote com-
puter (external controller) by means of remote commands. To automate often repeating
settings and settings sequences, these are grouped in the remote control programs,
i.e. application programs.
An instrument may be connected to the controller via any of the supported interfaces
LAN, USB or PCIe.

5.1.3 Control of an R&S SGS from an R&S Signal Generator
The R&S SGS can be used as an additional signal source to increase the number of
available RF outputs of a R&S Signal Generator. In this setup, a controller does not
need to access the R&S SGS directly. Instead, the signal generator acts as a controller
to the R&S SGS and depending on the required output signal parameters performs all
required settings automatically.
The Figure 5-3 shows a configuration example of the R&S SGS, directly controlled by
a R&S SMW.
