●
The main softkey menu of the current mode is displayed.
●
The measurement diagrams, traces and display fields are displayed again.
●
If, at the time of pressing the "LOCAL" softkey, the synchronization mechanism via
*OPC
,
*OPC?
or
*WAI
is active, the currently running measurement procedure is
aborted and synchronization is achieved by setting the corresponding bits in the
registers of the status reporting system.
●
Bit 6 (User Request) of the Event Status Register is set.
If the status reporting system is configured accordingly, this bit immediately causes
the generation of a service request (SRQ) to inform the control software that the
user wishes to return to front panel control. For example, this can be used to inter-
rupt the control program and to correct instrument settings manually. This bit is set
each time the "LOCAL" softkey is pressed.

How to Set Up a Network and Remote Control
Remote operation
You can operate the instrument remotely from a connected computer using SCPI com-
mands. Before you send remote commands you must configure the instrument in a
LAN network or connect it to a PC via the GPIB interface as described in
ter 11.7.1, "How to Configure a Network"
Remote Desktop
In production test and measurement, a common requirement is central monitoring of
the T&M instruments for remote maintenance and remote diagnostics. Equipped with
the Remote Desktop software of Windows, the R&S
FSMR3 ideally meets require-
ments for use in production. The computer that is used for remote operation is called
"controller" here.
The following tasks can be performed using Remote Desktop:
●
Access to the control functions via a virtual front panel (soft front panel)
●
Printout of measurement results directly from the controller
●
Storage of measured data on the controller's hard disk
This documentation provides basic instructions on setting up the Remote Desktop for
the R&S
FSMR3. For details refer to the Windows
10 operating system documentation.

How to Configure a Network
A precondition for operating or monitoring the instrument remotely is that it is connec-
ted to a LAN network or a PC connected to the GPIB interface. Setup is described
here.
