For more information and an overview of the settings affected by the factory preset

Chapter 8.13, "Factory Preset" , on page 262.
User-defined instrument states can be stored and called up using the functions
"SGMA-GUI > File > Save As/Open".
2.2 Linux Operating System
The instrument uses an embedded Linux operating system, optimally adapted to the
instrument.
Accessing the operating system
No access to the operating system is required for normal operation.
All necessary system settings can be made in the "Setup" dialog.
2.3 Connecting an External PC and Devices
As a rule, the R&S SGT is operated exclusively via remote control on a connected PC.
Another way to control the instrument is the manual operation via the R&S SGMA-GUI
software on the connected PC.
Both the remote control and the manual operation of the instrument require an external
controller. For the prerequisites and the instructions on how to configure an external
controller for remote control, refer to the user manual. A brief introduction to the remote
control capabilities is provided in
Chapter 10, "Network and Remote Control Opera-
tion" , on page 276.
This section gives an introduction on how to configure the external PC for manual
operation (see
Chapter 2.3.1, "Installing the R&S SGMA-GUI Software on an External
PC" , on page 25).
In addition to connecting an external controller, it may be useful to connect other exter-
nal devices, e.g. a memory stick. The following interfaces are provided on the rear
panel of the instrument, see also
