Connecting an External PC and Devices
As a rule, the R&S SGU is operated exclusively via remote control on a connec-
ted PC. Another way to control the instrument is the manual operation via the
R&S SGMA-GUI software on the connected PC.
Both the remote control and the manual operation of the instrument require an
external controller. For the prerequisites and the instructions on how to configure
an external controller for remote control, refer to the user manual. A brief intro-
duction to the remote control capabilities is provided in
Remote Control
This section gives an introduction on how to configure the external PC for manual
operation (see
Chapter 2.3.1, "Installing the R&S SGMA-GUI
on page 19).
In addition to connecting an external controller, it may be useful to connect other
external devices, e.g. a memory stick. The following interfaces are provided on
the rear panel of the instrument, see also
