Remote Control
The R&S NRX is equipped with various interfaces for connecting it to a controller for
remote control:
●
IEC/IEEE bus interface (standard equipment) in line with the standards IEC
60625.1 (IEEE 488.1) and IEC 60625.2 (IEEE 488.2)
●
Gigabit Ethernet interface
●
USB 2.0 interface for remote control and firmware update
Connectors are installed at the rear of the R&S NRX. See
The interfaces support the SCPI (standard commands for programmable instruments)
standard, version 1999.0 of May 1999. The SCPI standard is based on the IEEE 488.2
standard. It defines a standardized command language for controlling measuring and
test instruments with functions beyond the scope of the IEEE 488.2 standard.
For a detailed description of the remote commands, see
4.3.1
Switching to Remote Control (REMOTE)
Prerequisites
●
A link is established between the controller and the R&S NRX.
●
The R&S NRX is configured correctly.
After power-up, the R&S NRX is always in manual control mode, "LOCAL". When the
R&S NRX receives a SCPI command, it switches to remote control irrespective of the
selected interface.
