Getting Started
This chapter helps you to get familiar with the R&S OSP and explains how to solve
basic tasks that you will frequently encounter when working with the instrument.
You can control the basic switching tasks and define paths with the graphical user
interface (GUI). A more comfortable approach is using the separate OSP Panel
software. It allows to configure the R&S OSP and to get more information about the
device, its modules and relays.

Since the R&S OSP120 only has remote control capability, the manual operation of
the instrument is achieved either via a connected keyboard, mouse and monitor or via
the application OSP Panel, which runs on an external computer connected to the
same LAN network as the R&S OSP120.
