● On the R&S
ESR, a user logs on.
The connection to the controller is terminated as a result. A message is dis-
played on the controller display indicating that another user has assumed con-
trol of the instrument.
Restoring the connection to the R&S
ESR
Follow the instructions above for setting up a connection to the R&S
ESR. If the con-
nection is terminated and then restored, the R&S
ESR remains in the same state.

The connection with the controller is terminated and the R&S
ESR is shut down.
11.2.2
Operation with a VNC Client
Virtual Network Computing (VNC) allows you to control the R&S
ESR (the VNC server)
from a remote computer (the VNC client), for example to monitor the instruments in a
production line. The handling of a VNC system is similar to using the Windows Remote
Desktop, but VNC has some advantages compared to the Remote Desktop.
●
You can view the contents of the instrument display on more than one client
●
VNC clients are available for many operating systems. Thus, a VNC is independent
of the platform you are using.
●
You can still control the instrument itself when a remote connection has been
established, and see what is happening on both the instrument display and the cli-
ent. With the display running, you can also change settings both on the instrument
and with the client simultaneously. (Using the Remote Desktop turns off the display
and viewing the display contents is only possible on the controlling computer.)
●
The complete mini soft front panel is available on the client ("Alt-M" opens the mini
soft front panel).
●
Monitoring real time measurements is possible with the VNC client (this does not
work with the Remote Desktop).
All R&S
ESR instruments support a VNC and are delivered with a version of the
TightVNC software. On the client side, you can use a web browser or a VNC client to
access the instrument.
