Operating the Instrument

This chapter provides an overview on how to work with the R&S

FSMR3.

Remote control

In addition to working with the R&S

FSMR3 interactively, located directly at

the instrument, it is also possible to operate and control it from a remote PC.
Various methods for remote control are supported:

●

Connecting the instrument to a (LAN) network

●

Using the LXI browser interface in a LAN network

●

Using the Windows Remote Desktop application in a LAN network

●

Connecting a PC via the GPIB interface

How to configure the remote control interfaces is described in the
R&S

FSMR3 user manual.
