11 Network Operation and Remote Control
The description in this section requires basic knowledge of the remote control opera-
tion. Definitions specified in the SCPI standard are not provided.
You find some basic information to the SCPI syntax, command lists, and general pro-
gramming recommendations in Chapter A.1, "Additional Basics on Remote Control",
on page 953. See also Chapter A.1.5, "Status Reporting System", on page 965 for
information on the status reporting system of the instrument.
As an alternative to the interactive operation directly at the instrument, you can operate
the R&S SMBV100B also from a remote location.
The Figure 11-1 shows the possibilities of the physical connection (interfaces) for the
remote access.

For information on how to configure a network, see the Chapter 2.1.4, "Setting Up a
Network (LAN) Connection", on page 37.
The various interfaces provide flexible access to the instrument, such as remote con-
trol, remote operation or remote file access. These remote access modes are funda-
mentally different, although they are often considered interchangeable. Refer to Over-
view of Remote Access Modes for details on these modes.
