How to Start a Remote Control Session from a
PC
When you switch on the instrument, it is always in manual operation state ("local"
state) and can be operated via Remote Desktop from an external PC.
1. Send an addressed command (
GTR
- Go to Remote) from a controller to the
instrument.
The instrument is switched to remote control ("remote" state). Operation via
the soft front panel (on the Remote Desktop) is disabled. (The keys on the
R&S
FPS remain enabled.) The instrument remains in the remote state until it
is reset to the manual state via the remote control interface.
Switching from manual operation to remote control and vice versa does not
affect the other instrument settings.
2. To obtain optimum performance during remote control, send the
SYSTem:DISPlay:UPDate OFF
command to hide the display of results and
diagrams on the controller PC or external monitor (default setting in remote
control).
3. To enable manual operation via the soft front panel on the Remote Desktop
again, switch the instrument to local mode using the remote command
GTL
(Go to Local), that is, deactivate the
REN
line of the remote control interface.

How to Set Up Remote Desktop
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 uses the display on the remote com-
puter, and Remote Desktop provides access to all of the applications, files, and
network resources of the instrument. Thus, remote operation of the R&S
FPS is
possible.
