Direct configuration via R&S Instruments applies to the previous model of the R&S EX-
IQ-BOX 1409.5502.02 and User Defined applications.
The R&S EX-IQ-BOX 1409.5505K04 is always controlled by R&S DigIConf.
Some R&S instruments, as e.g. the R&S CMW500 may also directly control the R&S EX-
IQ-BOX, but in this case, operation is only possible with R&S DigIConf. Check in the
operating manual to see if your instrument supports this mode of operation. How to oper-
ate R&S
DigIConf in general refer to
​
chapter 6.1, "R&S DigIConf Configuration Soft-
ware" , on page 53.
The protocol settings are described in
​
chapter 7.1, "User Defined" , on page 95, where
you also find links to the corresponding remote commands, described in
​
chapter 9.3,
"User Defined - Remote Control Commands" , on page 257.
6.2.1 R&S Signal Generators
The information in this section applies to R&S SMx and R&S AMU Signal Generators.
The R&S EX-IQ-BOX 1409.5502.02 can be controlled directly by an R&S signal generator
only in a "User Defined" application. Test cases of standardized protocols require
R&S
DigIConf.
An R&S instrument must be equipped with the option for digital baseband input or output,
respectively. The R&S
EX-IQ-BOX is then connected at the digital interface Baseband
Digital IN or Out of the R&S instrument.
You find a short overview on the instruments and the appropriate options in
​
chapter 3.2.5,
"R&S Instruments Working with the R&S EX-IQ-BOX" , on page 25. Refer to the R&S
website for latest information.
The configuration is performed in the signal generator´s configuration dialogs. Accessing
the dialogs is described in
​
chapter 6.2.1.3, "Dialogs" , on page 87 and the settings in
​
chapter 7.1, "User Defined" , on page 95.
