4.16 Manual Remote Operation
The R&S
UPV permits manual remote operation using an external computer. As a
result, the audio analyzer can be operated conveniently from the user's desk even if,
for example, the audio analyzer is installed in a rack in a different room.
Unlike
remote operation
where remote-control commands are used, the
manual
remote operation
requires separate Windows software which is installed on the exter-
nal computer. When launched, the Windows software
Remote Desktop Connection
simulates the user interface of the R&S
UPV. This allows the instrument to be man-
ually operated at the external computer in the same way as at the instrument itself.
Manual remote operation is only possible if the audio analyzer and computer are con-
nected via LAN and the Windows software is installed on the computer.
Establishing the connection and installation of the remote-control software on the
external PC is described in
chapter 2.10.4, "Configuration for manual remote opera-
Manual remote operation is started on the external computer by calling up the Remote
Desktop Connection program and clicking on the Connect button. The R&S
UPV must
be selected as the remote operation device, i.e. its computer name must be displayed
in the Computer: If the computer has been configured for remote operation of more
than one instrument, the desired instrument can be selected from the list which is dis-
played by clicking the button. The user ID and password (
instrument
in both cases)
can be stored when the software is first installed. The entry is possible in the expanded
"Options>>" menu.
After logon, the instrument firmware of R&S
UPV boots on the external computer. After
the completion of the boot process, the screen of the audio analyzer appears and the
R&S
UPV can be manually remote-controlled from the external computer. The starting
configuration is that which was active before the connection was set up. The individual
functions are operated using the mouse and panel. Front panel keys which are not
directly available on the panel may be replaced by shortcuts (see
When establishing the connection, the instrument firmware at the R&S
UPV is exited.
During the manual remote control, it is not possible to perform any operations at the
R&S
UPV itself. Access by an external computer and the identity of the remote user is
indicated on the login display of Windows.
