Remote Desktop: Using the X-Series Instruments Remotely
Windows Remote Desktop is recommended for remote control of the
instrument. It offers fully-interactive control that is almost identical to direct
face-to-face control of the instrument. You can also remotely control the
instrument using the Embedded Web Server interface. The Embedded Web
Server functionality provides a communications method that does not require
login to the instrument. However, due to its slower response time, it is only
recommended for setup and data exchanges that do not involve instrument
control.
The Remote Desktop functionality is a Microsoft Windows 10 capability.
The following discussion provides some guidelines for using this
capability with the instrument. You need to refer to the Windows 10 help
documentation for more information. As Windows evolves, these
instructions may no longer be exact.
You need an external keyboard and mouse to fully use this functionality.

Overview of Remote Desktop operation

Using the Remote Desktop functionality of the instrument allows you to control
and interact with the instrument from a remote computer as though you were
sitting in front of the instrument.
When you have configured the instrument for remote connectivity, and
configured a separate computer to act as a Remote Desktop Host, you can
send commands to the instrument from the remote computer, and you can see
the instrument display on the screen of the remote computer.
This section provides full details of how to set up the instrument for remote
connectivity, and also how to set up a computer running any version of
Microsoft Windows as a Remote Desktop Host.
