the Windows Remote Desktop, but VNC has some advantages compared to the
Remote Desktop.
●
You can view the contents of the instrument display on more than one client
●
VNC clients are available for many operating systems. Thus, a VNC is inde-
pendent of the platform you are using.
●
You can still control the instrument itself when a remote connection has been
established, and see what is happening on both the instrument display and
the client. With the display running, you can also change settings both on the
instrument and with the client simultaneously. (Using the Remote Desktop
turns off the display and viewing the display contents is only possible on the
controlling computer.)
●
The complete mini soft front panel is available on the client ("Alt-M" opens the
mini soft front panel).
All R&S
FSVA/FSV instruments as of firmware version 3.0 support a VNC and
are delivered with a version of the TightVNC software. On the client side, you can
use a web browser or a VNC client to access the instrument.
Using a web browser
If you are using a web browser (for example Microsoft Internet Explorer), enter
the IP address of the instrument and the port you are using for the connection into
the address bar to establish a connection (for example "192.0.2.0:5800").
The browser then opens an interface that allows you to control the instrument
after you have entered the password.
The default port is 5800 and the default password is 894129, but you can change
this on the VNC software that comes with the instrument if required.
Note that using a browser requires you to install Java in order to run properly.
Using a VNC client
Alternatively, you can install a VNC client on your computer (for example a pro-
gram like TightVNC) and use that to access the instrument. In that case, start the
client and enter the IP address of the instrument to establish a connection.
