Figure 3-1: Block diagram of a fully equipped R&S

SMC

With the rotary knob, you can navigate in the block diagram and the dialogs, and oper-
ate the instrument with one hand. The cursor is moved line by line through the block
diagram or dialog. Turning the button clockwise advances the cursor. The selected
block can be activated or deactivated with the TOGGLE key. Active blocks are high-
lighted by a colored background.

The instrument comprises a comprehensive info and help system. You can access the
context-sensitive help with the HELP (F1) key at any time. The help system indicates
the currently selected parameter and offers additional services such as cross referen-
ces, index and contents. The content of the help system corresponds to the operating
manual of the instrument.

Warning and conflict messages caused by incorrect operation as well as further infor-
mation are displayed in the "Info" line. A complete list of existing conflicts is displayed
when the INFO (CTRL+I) key is pressed. Additional information on entries can be
requested from the help system. The history function permits display of all messages.

Assistants simplify the completion of tables. After data entry in the assistant, the table
is modified only after the "Accept" button has been pressed. Pressing the "Accept" but-
ton also stores the assistant data.

For an introduction into the manual operating of the instrument, detailed operating
instructions and an overview of menus refer to

Chapter 4, "Manual Operation"

For an in-depth description of the dialog boxes and the instrument functions, refer to
section "Instrument Functions" in the operating manual.

Remote Control

Remote control is an operation of the instrument by means of remote control com-
mands or programs that automatize repeating settings. The instrument is connected to
a computer running the program.

The R&S

SMC supports various remote control connections:

●

Connecting the instrument to a (LAN) network

●

Connecting a PC via the IEC-bus (IEEE 488) interface

●

Remote control via the USB interface
