Operating the Instrument
There are three ways to operate the R&S
RTE.
Manual operation
Use the touchscreen, keys and rotary knobs, or an optional mouse and/or key-
board. The principles of manual operation are explained in this section.
Remote control
Create programs to automatize repeating settings, tests, and measurements. The
instrument is connected to a computer that runs the program.
This way of operation is described in the user manual, chapter "Remote Control
Commands".
Remote operation
The remote desktop connection of Windows can be used for instrument control
and file transfer. Even on computers with non-Windows operating systems, a
remote desktop connection is possible using RDP applications.
For details, refer to the user manual, chapter "Remote Desktop Connection".
Remote monitoring and control of the instrument from a connected computer is
also possible with a standard web browser and a LAN connection.
For details, refer to the user manual, chapter "Web Control".
Alternatively, you can use Virtual Network Computing (VNC), which requires
installation of the VNC server on the R&S
RTE. Installation and configuration are
described in the application note "Remote Monitoring and Control of the
R&S
RTE with a Web Browser", available on the Rohde
&
Schwarz internet site.
