Remote Access
The R&S SMC can be remote-accessed from an external PC. This allows convenient operation of the
Signal Generator from the desktop although the instrument is integrated in a rack somewhere else.
Remote access in contrast to remote control does not use remote-control commands but the regular
user interface displayed using separate software which is installed on the external PC. The instrument
can thus be manually operated from the PC as on the unit itself.
Preconditions for remote access are a connection between signal generator and PC via a LAN network
and the installation of the VNC client software on the PC and on the R&S SMC.
Establishing the connection and installation of the remote-control software on the external PC is
described in chapter 1, section "Connecting the R&S SMC to a Network (LAN)".
After the connection is established, the current signal generator screen with the block diagram is
displayed and the R&S SMC can be remote-accessed from the external PC. The individual functions
are operated using the mouse and keyboard. Specific instrument functions can be executed using
specific key combinations on the keyboard. Front-panel keys which are not directly available on the
keyboard can be substituted by key combinations or by the front panel key emulation panel (see next
section).
When the connection is set up, direct control on the R&S SMC is possible while manual remote-control
is established, it can be performed alternately with the remote access.
For return to direct operation on the R&S SMC, the connection must be closed. After closing the
connection, it is still enabled and can be established again any time (see chapter 1, section "Remote
Access via an External Controller").
