7: Collecting and Viewing Data Remotely
The PNTS can be controlled remotely using an Ethernet connection. Data can also be downloaded
over the Ethernet connection.
Two types of connections are accepted:
„
Data port connections
„
Command port connections
The data port continually publishes phase difference measurements in cycles while the test set is in
the
Collecting state. See “7.3 The Network Data Port” on page 67 for additional details.
Command port connections are used to remotely control the test set to:
„
Take or yield remote control of the test set (see page 58 ).
„
Start and stop collecting data (see page 59 ).
„
Retrieve or print any other data set including:
•
