Remote Operation over VNC

The VNC is an application which can be used to access and control the instru-

ment from a remote computer through a LAN connection. While the instrument is

in operation, the instrument screen contents are displayed on the remote com-

puter, and VNC provides access to all applications, files, and network resources

of the instrument. Thus, remote operation of the instrument is possible.

Instrument control from a remote computer

To access the basic utility functions of the R&S SMM100A, perform a right

mouse click the block diagram and select "Key Emulation".

A key panel to the right of the block diagram gives access to the utility func-

tions provided by the front panel keys.

The VNC is an add-on program, included in operating system Linux/Unix, and

available as a free-of-charge download on the internet.
