7.8 Remote operation over VNC
The VNC is an application which can be used to access and control the instru-
ment from a remote computer through a LAN connection. While the instrument is
in operation, the instrument screen contents are displayed on the remote com-
puter, and VNC provides access to all applications, files, and network resources
of the instrument. Thus, remote operation of the instrument is possible.
