SMFP2 : Remote Control Software
The SMFP2 remote control software is your best friend when having malicious LCD's
on your SMFP2. Just operate it via your computer and see the measurement values
on your screen.
The software is designed to enable remote control of the Rohde & Schwarz SMFP2 radio test set via GPIB/IEEE-488.2 instructions. It provides
an high level control environment for automated RF and AF measurements using available
measurement functions within the SMFP2.
The software is build to work in Windows XP/Vista/7, in conjunction with the
- National Instruments
NI PCI-GPIB controller,
-
NI-488.2 controller software
for Windows 7/Vista/XP (V3.02)
- .NET Framework V4.0
- Microsoft Excel 2007 for data presentation
(if you have .NET Framework 4.5 on a 64 bit machine, please also consider the following
patch from NI)
