There are different ways to establish a remote access connection to the signal generator
but all of them require an established LAN connection between the instrument and the
remote computer. The simplest way to remote access the instrument is to use a Web
browser, such as Windows Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox for instance. Alternatively
a remote access via a special application can be used.
The free-of-charge program Ultr@VNC for PCs with Linux/Unix or Windows operating
system is available for setting up the remote access connection. Using this application
requires additional installation.
See the following table for an overview of the different ways to establish a remote access
connection to the signal generator.

When the connection is set up with Ultr@VNC, direct control on the instrument is possible
while remote access is established.
For return to direct operation on the instrument, the connection must be cut. After cutting
the connection, it is still enabled and can be established again any time. The connection
is disabled only after deactivation of the program.
This section gives an information on how to use the Web browser for remote access, how
to install the applications for remote access and how to establish the connection between
the instrument and an external computer with Windows operating system. Remote
access via an external computer with Linux/Unix operating system is performed accord-
ingly.
