4 Operating the instrument
There are three ways to operate the R&S MXO 4.
Manual operation
Use the touchscreen, keys and rotary knobs, or an optional mouse and/or keyboard.
The principles of manual operation are explained in this section.
Remote control
Create programs to automatize repeating settings, tests, and measurements. The
instrument is connected to a computer that runs the program.
This way of operation is described in: Chapter 17, "Remote control commands",
on page 396.
Remote operation
For remote monitoring and operation of the instrument, a VNC server is installed on the
R&S MXO 4. You need a LAN connection to the computer, and a VNC client or web
browser to connect to the instrument.
For details, refer to Chapter 16, "Network operation and remote control", on page 377.
4.1 Means of manual interaction
The R&S MXO 4 provides the following means of manual interaction, which you can
use alternatively or complementary:
●
Touchscreen:
Using the touchscreen allows for direct interaction with the instrument. Use your
finger to place waveforms on the screen, mark areas for zoom, set parameters in
dialogs, enter data, and much more. The control elements and actions on the
screen are based on common concepts, and you easily become familiar with the
user interface.
Tapping the screen works like clicking mouse buttons:
– Tap = click: Selects a waveform or parameter, or provokes an action.
– Double-tap = double-click: Has the same effect as touch and hold, it opens the
on-screen keyboard or keypad, or a specific editor if available.
●
Function keys and rotary knobs:
The front panel provides frequently used functions and controls to operate the
instrument. Use knobs to set levels and scales, and keys to initiate actions and to
open dialogs.
●
Optional mouse and/or keyboard
These devices work in the normal manner.
