R&S®MobileView lets iOS/Android devices conrol Rohde & Schwarz portable analyzers
The R&S®MobileView app lets users operate Rohde & Schwarz instruments remotely and eliminates the need for physical interactions with the instruments.
Your task
The R&S®MobileView app lets users operate Rohde & Schwarz instruments remotely and eliminates the need for physical interactions with the instruments. Remote control makes instruments more accessible to a wider range of users. Scientific researchers can operate remote-controlled instruments from different geographic locations for better collaboration and resource sharing.
The app can migrate easily and seamlessly and lets onsite spectrum monitoring and analysis set ups be used in remote environments for:
- Reliable communications links between the instrument and the device under test (DUT)
- Connecting instruments using IP addresses or by scanning for them on a local network
- Control multiple instruments from one computer
- Reliable report generation
