12.3.1 USB TMC
USB TMC means USB Test & Measurement Class. You can use this interface for
remote control of the instrument using SCPI commands. USB TMC does not need a
driver installation but requires a VISA installation on the controlling computer. VISA is
used to access the instrument, to send remote commands, and to read status informa-
tion.
Rohde & Schwarz provides the standardized I/O software library R&S VISA for com-
munication via TCP/IP (LAN: HiSlip, VXI-11) or USB (USBTMC) interfaces. R&S VISA
is available for download at the Rohde & Schwarz website

.
12.3.2 USB VCP
USB VCP uses the virtual COM port (VCP) to communicate with the measuring instru-
ment. You can use any terminal program to send SCPI commands. USB VCP requires
a USB VCP driver on the controlling computer. If the computer requests a driver instal-
lation, you can download the driver at the Rohde & Schwarz website (
www.rohde-
schwarz.com/de/treiber/hmo/
, HO732). You need administrator rights to install the
driver.
12.3.3 USM MTP
USB MTP is the USB media transfer protocol. It is a solution to load data from the
oscilloscope to the computer. Remote control using SCPI commands is not possible.
USB MTP does not need a driver installation. If the instrument and the computer are
connected with a USB cable and USB MTP is selected as interface, you can access
the oscilloscope data from the computer. You see the oscilloscope in the computer's
Device Manager and in the file explorer as portable instrument.
