Remote Desktop Connection
Remote Desktop is a Windows application which can be used to access and con-
trol the instrument from a remote computer through a LAN connection. While the
instrument is in operation, the instrument screen contents are displayed on the
remote computer. Remote Desktop provides access to all of the applications,
files, and network resources of the instrument. Thus, remote operation of the
instrument is possible.
The Remote Desktop Client is part of the installed Windows operating system.
For other versions of Windows, Microsoft offers the Remote Desktop Client as an
add-on.

Connecting a PC via the GPIB Interface
You can connect a PC to the R&S
FSWP via the GPIB interface to send remote
commands to control and operate the instrument. You can configure the GPIB
address and the ID response string. The GPIB language is set as SCPI by default
but can be changed to emulate other instruments.
A GPIB interface is integrated on the rear panel of the instrument.
