6.1.2.1 Configure Instruments
This dialog is the central point for managing the instrument that will be configured and
operated via the R&S SGMA-GUI. New instruments can be created and appended to
the list of available instruments, connection settings can be edited, instruments can be
removed from the list or they can be deactivated, but kept in the list for further use.
Refer to Chapter 6.5.2, "Handling Instruments in the R&S SGMA-GUI" , on page 63
for information on how to configure and manage instruments in R&S SGMA-GUI.
Available Instruments
This section comprises a list of configured instruments. Each instrument is represented
by a "Symbolic Name" which is also displayed in the main panel and an "Instrument
Type". It is also displayed whether the instrument is activated in the R&S SGMA-GUI
and hence displayed in the main panel or not.

Scan
Triggers a scan function and searches for instruments connected to the remote com-
puter via all the available interfaces. During the scan process, a progress bar is dis-
played.
Tip: The first initialization of a newly connected instrument in a network and the instru-
ment's request to the DHCP server for an IP address may take some time. During this
time, the instrument does not respond to the query sent by the scan function. If the
instrument does not appear in the list of "Available Instruments", trigger the scan func-
tion again after some minutes.
