6.2.2 Interacting with R&S NESTOR
Prerequisites
To perform measurements with the R&S NESTOR application, the following prerequi-
sites apply:
For details on R&S NESTOR, see the manual provided on the software DVD.
●
R&S NESTOR installation on the host PC (refer to the R&S NESTOR manual)
●
R&S NESTOR option on dongle inserted in host PC (refer to the R&S NESTOR
manual)
●
LAN connection between the R&S TSME6 and the host PC (note the special LAN
adapter requirements specified in "Configuring the LAN interface on the host PC"
on page 20)
●
Required technology options installed on the R&S TSME6 (see Chapter 6.1.3,
"Installing and managing software license keys - "Options"" , on page 51)
●
Software options installed on the host PC (see information on the NESTOR product
page on the Rohde
& Schwarz website: https://www.rohde-schwarz.com/product/
NESTOR > "Options")
In particular, NESTOR SCN 1521.5031.xx (R&S Scanner Driver) is always required
to operate the R&S
TSME6.
After the R&S TSME6 has finished booting, start the R&S NESTOR software applica-
tion.
Automatic firmware updates
Each time R&S NESTOR is started, the software automatically compares the firmware
version of the connected R&S TSME6 with the version currently available on the host
PC. If a newer version is available, it is copied to and installed on the R&S TSME6.
Up to three previously installed firmware versions are stored as backups and main-
tained on the R&S TSME6 (see also
Chapter 6.1.1, "Obtaining device information -
"Device Info"" , on page 47). Thus, it is not necessary to perform firmware updates on
the R&S TSME6 manually.
6.2.3 Interacting with R&S ViCom
R&S ViCom interface is a software package to develop software applications, which
integrate the R&S TSME6 as an OEM product into customer software.
The R&S ViCom package is not part of the shipment.
