USB VCP
The following requirements for USB-VCP driver installation are necessary:
●
A PC with operating system Windows XP, VISTA, Windows 7 or Windows 8 (32Bit
or 64Bit).
●
Administrator rights are necessary for the installation of the driver.
The USB virtual COM port (USB-VCP) is a software interface that allows the communi-
cation to the R&S NGE100B using any terminal program (e.g. HMExplorer) via SCPI
commands once the corresponding Windows drivers have been installed. The actual
USB-VCP driver and software HMExplorer can be downloaded for free from the prod-
uct homepage (http://www.rohde-schwarz.com/product/nge100b).
If a connection between PC and the instrument has been established and no NGE100
USB-VCP driver is installed, the PC operating system displays a "Found New Hard-
ware" wizard. In this case, the NGE100 USB-VCP driver must be installed.
The HMExplorer window application provides the R&S NGE100B a terminal function
and also the option to create screenshots and editor function to create the EasyArb
table.
For more information of the driver installation and HMExplorer window application, see
the installation guide of the driver file and the internal HMExplorer help.
