The Inline Calibration System R&S ZN-Z3x is completely remote-controlled, with
the Inline Calibration Controller R&S ZN-Z30 providing the management inter-
face. Apart from the Display Reset button on the Inline Calibration Controller and
the Start Cal button on the Inline Calibration Unit it does not provide any means
for manual control.
The PWR LED on the front panel of the Inline Calibration Controller indicates the
standby state of the controller, the USB and LAN LEDs indicate whether a con-
nection is established via the corresponding interface.
The Inline Calibration Controller R&S ZN-Z30 is equipped with a 128x64 mono-
chrome OLED-Display that displays the following information:
●
The serial number of the instrument.
This is displayed for identification purposes, which is particularly important if
multiple Inline Calibration Controllers are used.
●
The current IP address
●
The state of the two CAN busses
●
The operational state of the instrument. This can be either
–
OK
if the instrument is error-free or
–
ERROR <error code>
with the error code of the last occurred error.
To prevent the display from burn-in, it is automatically switched off after a
certain time (screensaver functionality). Use the
Display Reset key to reacti-
vate the display.
The following sections describe the steps and commands required for remote
control of the Inline Calibration System.
In Chapter 4.1, "Basic Information on Remote Control" , on page 26 you will find
information on setting up the Inline Calibration Controller for remote control and
on the available interfaces and protocols. You will also find a brief description of
the status register. The remote control commands are explained in detail in
Chap-
ter 4.2, "Remote Control Commands" , on page 29.
