After the installation of the R&S SGMA-GUI software, two icons will be shown in your
Windows menu: one is the standard version and one for which the remote command of
the software through SCPIs is disabled. The SCPI disabled version allows you to install
and use the R&S SGMA-GUI on other instruments, without interfering with the remote
control of the host instrument.
Start the version that is required for your application.
Uninstalling an old software version
An uninstallation of a previous version of the SW can be performed before the installa-

► To uninstall this version, go to "Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove
