Starting IECWIN
IECWIN is available from the Windows "Start" menu on the R&S
ESR, or by executing
the following file:
C:\Program Files\Rohde-Schwarz\FSV\<version>\iecwin32.exe
You can also copy the program to any Windows PC or laptop. Simply copy the
iecwin32.exe
,
iecwin.chm
and
rsib32.dll
files from the location above to the
same folder on the target computer.
When the tool is started, a "Connection settings" dialog box is displayed. Define the
connection from the computer the IECWIN tool is installed on to the R&S
ESR you
want to control. If you are using the tool directly on the R&S
ESR, you can use an NT
Pipe (COM Parser) connection, which requires no further configuration. For help on
setting up other connection types, check the tool's online help (by clicking the "Help"
button in the dialog box).
