6.3.1.1 PC mode
The "PC Mode" is the standard mode for installation of software and for the interactive
operation of the R&S TSMA6B. In this mode, no software application (NESTOR,
ROMES, QualiPoc) is started in the background.
6.3.1.2 Remote ViCom server mode
This mode starts the Remote ViCom server on the R&S TSMA6B. Measurement con-
figuration and data collection are controlled from a remote connected handheld device.
A Remote ViCom client application needs to be installed on the handheld device for
this purpose.
The connection between the Remote ViCom server on the R&S TSMA6B and the cli-
ent application (Remote ViCom client) on the handheld device can be realized via
Bluetooth
®
or WLAN.
The selection of the wireless interface type depends on the measurement task.
The WLAN connection allows a data throughput, which is about 10 times higher com-
pared to Bluetooth
®
.
The Bluetooth
®
connection is less influenced by radio interference.
