Configuring the Instrument Interfaces
Use
The R&S AM300 can be remote-controlled via the existing USB host interface
[19]. The R&S AM300 automatically detects an existing connection to a PC
and also automatically switches to remote control in the default setting
(AUTO).
Switchover between internal USB master (local control on the instrument) and
external USB master (remote control via PC) is effected by means of a USB
master switch.
The behaviour of the USB master switch can be controlled via the following
settings:
Auto
The AUTO setting is the standard configuration of the USB master switch
and allows flexible switching between the local control mode on the R&S
AM300 and remote control via PC. This setting allows the instrument to
automatically find a connected PC and switch immediately to “remote
control”. Under Windows
™
, the R&S AM300 is recognized as a new USB
device, and is thus available for software applications on the PC.
When you press the SYS key [3], the R&S AM300 can be switched to
“local mode” at any time. The PC and the R&S AM300 are thus
physically disconnected. Reactivate the AUTO setting to switch the R&S
AM300 again to “remote control”.
Instrument
The INSTRUMENT setting is required if the R&S AM300 is to be
controlled only via the front panel (local control), irrespective of a PC
connection. This setting avoids automatic switchover to “remote control”.
When you switch the INSTRUMENT setting to AUTO, an existing PC is
recognized, and the R&S AM300 automatically switches to “remote
control”.
