2.7 Remote Access via an External Controller
The R&S SMJ can be remote accessed from a remote computer (external controller)
via a network link. This allows convenient operation of the instrument from the desktop
although the instrument is integrated in a rack somewhere else.
For an overview of the instrument's operating concept and the different ways to control
and operate the instrument, see
Chapter 3.1, "Brief Introduction to the Instrument's
Concept" , on page 71.
There are different ways to establish a remote access connection to the signal genera-
tor but all of them require an established LAN connection between the instrument and
the remote computer. The simplest way to remote access the instrument is to use a
Web browser, such as Windows Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox for instance. Alter-
natively a remote access via a special application can be used.
For example, the free-of-charge programs "Remote Desktop" for PCs with windows
operating system, or "Ultr@VNC" for PCs with Linux/Unix or Windows operating sys-
tem are available for setting up the remote access connection. Using these applica-
tions requires additional installation.
See the following table for an overview of the different ways to establish a remote
access connection to the signal generator.
