When the connection is set up with Remote Desktop, the device firmware of the signal
generator is disabled. Direct control on the instrument is not possible while manual
remote-control is active. The access of an external PC is indicated by the logon screen
of the operating system which identifies the accessing user.
When the connection is set up with a VNC client software (Ultr@VNC), direct control
on the instrument is possible while remote access is established.
For return to direct operation on the instrument, the connection must be cut. After cut-
ting the connection, it is still enabled and can be established again any time. The con-
nection is disabled only after deactivation of the program.
This section gives an information on how to use the Web browser for remote access,
how to install the applications for remote access and how to establish the connection
between the instrument and an external computer with Windows operating system.
Remote access via an external computer with Linux/Unix operating system is per-
formed accordingly.
Accessing Operating System
The operating system can only be accessed if an external keyboard and/or a mouse is
connected. Windows provides an on-screen keyboard that can be operated using a
mouse, thus enabling operation by mouse only. An external keyboard is recommended
for extensive entries.
Default password
Remote-access and file access require the user "instrument" with default password
"instrument".
2.7.1 Using a Web Browser for Remote Access
The instrument can be remote-accessed via any web browser, as for example the Win-
dows Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.
