10.6 Using the R&S SGMA-GUI to Monitor the Remote
Control Operation
The R&S SGMA-GUI can be used to monitor the behavior of one or more instruments
while they are remote controlled.
A typical configuration consists of one monitor, controllers and instruments. The moni-
tor is the remote PC on which the R&S SGMA-GUI is installed and the controller is the
remote PC on which the application program runs.
Simultaneous control of an instrument from a controller and a monitor may lead to colli-
sions whenever both the controller and the monitor utilize the same remote channel.
These collisions are indicated by an error message in the "Info" line, e.g. "Query inter-
rupted" or "Resource locked". Simultaneous monitoring and control over the same
remote channel is only possible, if the used protocols support
viLock()/viUnlock()
and the remote program use these functions.
shows whether a collision-free communication over a particular combi-
nation of remote channels is possible or not and if there are any restrictions.
