Remote Connection and VNC
This section will explain how to set a remote connection to your Wave. This feature will
help technicians, professors, and service providers to share the screen of the instrument
while giving a presentation or discussion with a customer.
You must keep in mind that by setting up a remote connection with your Wave will not
allow you
to “virtually” manipulate/operate the instrument from its own laptop. It means
that there will be no interaction with your instrument; it will remain as like as a screen-
sharing tool.
There are three ways to set a remote connection. They are detailed right below.
16.1
Connection to a Network
Make sure your laptop has a good network connection (stable and high-speed
connection). Once your laptop is connected to a network, you have two different ways to
connect your Wave: by cable or Wi-Fi (see Section 14.3 for more details). Once you are
connected to a network, an IP address will be automatically set to your instrument.
Sonatest suggests downloading and installing a VNC viewer on your laptop that allows
you to set a remote connection to your instrument. This will allow you to share your
screen on your laptop’s screen. For the majorit
y of VNC viewer applications, you just need
to set the IP address from your instrument to get access to it.

16.2
Sharing your Internet Connection from your Laptop
Your laptop should be connected to a network (Wi-Fi or cable) before you can set up a
mobile hotspot.
To set a mobile hotspot from your laptop, go to the
Start Menu
(if your laptop is
Windows-based) and then
Settings
. In the
Settings
home page, go down to Mobile
Hotspot, which features the list of available options and click on it. Once you click in that
option, you will see the screen below.
