Operating the Instrument
There are three ways to operate the R&S
RTE.
Manual operation
Use the touchscreen, keys and rotary knobs, or an optional mouse and/or key-
board. The principles of manual operation are explained in this section.
Remote control
Create programs to automatize repeating settings, tests, and measurements. The
instrument is connected to a computer running the program.
This way of operation is described in the user manual, chapter "Remote Control
Commands".
Remote operation
The remote desktop connection of Windows Embedded Standard 7 can be used
for instrument control and file transfer. Even on computers with non-Windows
operating systems, a remote desktop connection is possible using RDP applica-
tions.
See also: User Manual, chapter "Remote Desktop Connection".
Remote monitoring and control of the instrument from a connected computer is
also possible with a standard web browser and a LAN connection using LXI.
See also: User Manual, chapter "Web Control".
Alternatively, you can use Virtual Network Computing (VNC), which requires
installation of the VNC server on the R&S
RTE. Installation and configuration are
described in the Application Note "Remote Monitoring and Control of the
R&S
RTE with a Web Browser", available on the Rohde & Schwarz Internet.
