Welcome to the ARB ethernet upload option
The R&S
SMM-K507 option ARB ethernet upload is a firmware application that allows
high-speed streaming of waveform files via the QSFP+ interface of the
R&S
SMM100A.
This user manual contains a description of the functionality that the application pro-
vides, including remote control operation.
All functions not discussed in this manual are the same as in the base unit and are

Key features
●
Ultra-fast waveform I/Q data transfer from a host PC to the R&S
SMM100A:
–
10 Gbit Ethernet: Up to 100 times faster data transfer at up to 9 Gbit/s transfer
rate
–
40 Gbit Ethernet: Up to 400 times faster data transfer at up to 36 Gbit/s transfer
rate
●
Automatic upload and play of waveform files (
*.wv
)
●
Low latency:
–
No intermediate storage on the HDD required. The IQ samples are directly loa-
ded into the ARB memory.
–
No ARB reconfiguration required when the meta data is already transmitted
and not changed.
–
Further time saving when working with smaller waveforms.
●
Easy integration:
–
Standard data transfer via UDP/IP
–
Flexible connection between host PC and R&S
SMM100A:
10G electrical connection (RJ45), 10G optical connection (SFP+) or 40G opti-
cal connection (QSFP+)
●
Monitoring upload characteristics of the upload status and waveform count
●
Monitoring upload statistics including receive (Rx) and transmit (Tx) parameters
and error statistics:
–
Rx: Upload segments, frames and data
–
Tx: Reply frames
–
Occurred errors during upload
