For more information on this topic, the application note 1GP91: Remote Emulations
with the R&S SMBV100A Vector Signal Generator describes in detail how to use this
feature.
The selected instrument also defines the identification string that is retrieved with query
*IDN?. In addition to the preset values, you can enter a user-defined identification
string, for example to provide individual identification for each generator, like
'MY_R&S SMBV' (see Mode and IDN String).
As any other parameter, you can additionally change the remote control command set
to be emulated via the Language command. However, once you have switched to an
emulation, the R&S SMBV specific command set is disabled, that means this com-
mand is no longer effective. To return, you need to know the corresponding remote
control command of the simulated instrument. If you emulate an HP generator for
example, the HP command EX returns to the SCPI command set.
► To access this dialog, press the SETUP or MENU key and select "Remote > Instru-
ment Emulations".
The "Instrument Emulations" dialog enables you to emulate a remote control com-
mand set of several other signal generators.
The remote commands required to remotely configure the emulation settings are
described in Chapter 7.18, "SYSTem Subsystem", on page 821.
