Remote control via a serial interface is possible via a USB. The controller and the
instrument must be connected with the external USB/serial-adapter R&S TS1-USB
(see recommended extras in the data sheet) and a serial crossover (null modem)
cable. A USB connection requires the VISA library to be installed on the controller.
VISA will detect and configure the R&S
SMB automatically when the USB connection
is established.

interface. The settings are effective for both interfaces (see also
