4.16 Manual Remote Operation
The R&S UPP permits manual remote operation using an external computer. As a
result, the audio analyzer can be operated conveniently from the user's desk even if,
for example, the audio analyzer is installed in a rack in a different room.
Unlike remote operation where remote-control commands are used, the manual
remote operation requires separate Windows software which is installed on the exter-
nal computer. When launched, the Windows software Remote Desktop Connection
simulates the user interface of the R&S UPP. This allows the instrument to be manually
operated at the external computer in the same way as at the instrument itself.
Manual remote operation is only possible if the audio analyzer and computer are con-
nected via LAN and the Windows software is installed on the computer.
Establishing the connection and installation of the remote-control software on the
external PC is described in
Chapter 2.10.4, "Configuration for manual remote opera-
tion" , on page 58.
Manual remote operation is started on the external computer by calling up the Remote
Desktop Connection program and clicking on the Connect button. The R&S
UPP must
be selected as the remote operation device, i.e. its computer name must be displayed
in the Computer: If the computer has been configured for remote operation of more
than one instrument, the desired instrument can be selected from the list which is dis-
played by clicking the button. The user ID and password (
instrument in both cases)
can be stored when the software is first installed. The entry is possible in the expanded
"Options>>" menu.
After logon, the instrument firmware of R&S UPP boots on the external computer. After
the completion of the boot process, the screen of the audio analyzer appears and the
R&S
UPP can be manually remote-controlled from the external computer. The starting
configuration is that which was active before the connection was set up. The individual
functions are operated using the mouse and panel.
When establishing the connection, the instrument firmware at the R&S UPP is exited.
During the manual remote control, it is not possible to perform any operations at the
R&S
UPP itself. Access by an external computer and the identity of the remote user is
indicated on the login display of Windows.
