Remote Control

In addition to working with the R&S SMB100B interactively, located directly at the
instrument, it is also possible to operate and control it from a remote PC.
The R&S SMB100B supports various methods for remote control:
● Connecting the instrument to a LAN (see
on page 20)
● Using the LXI browser interface in a LAN
● Connecting a PC via the IEC-bus (IEEE 488) interface
● Remote control via the USB interface
For remote control over LAN or USB, you can use the R&S VISA (Virtual
Instrument Software Architecture) library provided for download at the
Rohde & Schwarz website http://www.rohde-schwarz.com/rsvisa.
How to configure the remote control interfaces is described in the user manual,
chapter "Network and Remote Control Operation".
