Configuring the Instrument Interfaces
Use
The R&S FS300 can be remote-controlled via the existing USB host interface
[15]. The R&S FS300 automatically detects an existing connection to a PC
and also automatically switches to remote control in the default setting
(AUTO).
Switchover between internal USB master (local control on the instrument)
and external USB master (remote control via PC) is effected by means of a
USB master switch.
The behaviour of the USB master switch can be controlled via the following
settings:
AUTO
The AUTO setting is the standard configuration of the USB master switch
and allows flexible switching between the local control mode on the R&S
FS300 and remote control via PC. This setting allows the instrument to
automatically find a connected PC and switch immediately to “remote
control”. Under Windows
™
, the R&S FS300 is recognized as a new USB
device, and is thus available for software applications on the PC.
When you press the SYS key [3], the R&S FS300 can be switched to “lo-
cal mode” at any time. The PC and the R&S FS300 are thus physically
disconnected. Reactivate the AUTO setting to switch the R&S FS300
again to “remote control”.
INSTRUMENT
The INSTRUMENT setting is required if the R&S FS300 is to be con-
trolled only via the front panel (local control), irrespective of a PC con-
nection. This setting avoids automatic switchover to “remote control”.
When you switch the INSTRUMENT setting to AUTO, an existing PC is
recognized, and the R&S FS300 automatically switches to “remote con-
trol”.
