10 Network operation and remote control
As an alternative to the interactive operation directly at the instrument, you can operate
the R&S
AREG800A also from a remote location.
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, as described in
Overview of remote access modes .
Figure 10-1 shows the possibilities of the physical connection (interfaces) for remote
access.
The following descriptions provide information required for operating the
R&S
AREG800A remotely. The information applies to all applications and operating
modes supported by the instrument. Definitions specified in the SCPI standard are not
provided.
