8 Controlling the R&S FSVA/FSV
Remotely
In addition to working with the R&S FSVA/FSV interactively, located directly at the
instrument, it is also possible to operate and control it from a remote PC.
Various methods for remote control are supported:
●
Using the Windows Remote Desktop application in a LAN network (see Chap-
ter 8.1, "Operation with Windows Remote Desktop " , on page 130)
●
Using Virtual Network Computing (VNC, see Chapter 8.2, "Operation with a
VNC Client" , on page 137)
●
Connecting the instrument to a (LAN) network (see Chapter 8.6, "Setting Up a
Network (LAN) Connection" , on page 165)
For details on remote control interfaces see Chapter 8.4, "Remote Control Interfa-
ces and Protocols" , on page 161

8.1 Operation with Windows Remote Desktop
In production test and measurement, a common requirement is central monitoring
of the T&M instruments for remote maintenance and remote diagnostics. Equip-
ped with the Windows Remote Desktop software, the R&S
FSVA/FSV ideally
meets requirements for use in production. (The computer that is used for remote
operation is called "controller" here.)
●
Access to the control functions via a virtual front panel (soft front panel)
●
Printout of measurement results directly from the controller
●
Storage of measured data on the controller's hard disk
