Embedded Web Server: Using the X-Series Signal Analyzers
Remotely
The instrument can be controlled using either the Embedded Web Server or
Windows Remote Desktop. The Embedded Web Server is a good solution when you
do not want to log into the instrument's user account. This allows you to view the
display or control the instrument, without logging the current user off. Multiple users
can connect at the same time
The web server in the UXA updates many times per second and it has the advantage
over Remote Desktop that it does not lock out the front panel.
Drag gestures do not work in web control, whereas they do in Remote Desktop.

Accessing the instrument through the Internet
It is possible to access and control the instrument through the Internet and World
Wide Web, or a local internet, using the built-in Embedded Server functionality. This
section provides details of how to use this functionality.
The instrument may also be accessed and controlled using the Windows Remote
Desktop functionality (see the section
"Remote Desktop: Using the X-Series Signal
Analyzers Remotely" on page 59
, for details).
The instrument Embedded Server capabilities are fully compliant with the LXI (LAN
eXtensions for Instrumentation) standard.
To gain access to the instrument from the LAN, you need to know its hostname (or IP
Address). For details of how to locate this information using the instrument Display, see
“How to locate the computer name of the instrument” on page 61.
