2. If necessary, press the standby toggle switch on the front panel to switch the instru-
ment to ready state (the green LED is on).

In ready state, the tester automatically performs a system check, boots the
operating system and then starts the CMW application, see
. If the
previous session was terminated regularly, the CMW application uses the last setup with
the relevant instrument settings.
Once the startup procedure has been terminated, the dialog opened in the previous ses-
sion is displayed.
To shut down the R&S CMW500, proceed as follows:
1. Press the standby toggle switch to save the current setup, close the CMW application,
shut down the Windows XP operating system and set the instrument to standby state.
Of course you can also perform this procedure step by step like in any Windows
session.
2. If desired, set the AC power switch to position 0 (Off).
Standby state
It is strongly recommended to switch the R&S CMW500 to standby state before discon-
necting it from the AC supply. If you set the power switch to 0 while the CMW application
is still running, you will lose the current settings. Moreover, loss of program data cannot
be excluded if the application is terminated improperly.
2.7 Remote Operation in a LAN
A LAN connection is used to integrate the R&S CMW500 into a home/company network.
This offers several applications:
●
Transfer data between a controller and the tester, e.g. in order to run a remote control
program.
●
Transfer data from a remote computer and back, in particular waveform files (ARB
files).
●
Access or control the measurement from a remote computer using the "Remote
Desktop" application (or a similar tool).
●
Use external network devices (e.g. printers).
