5.3.4 Operation Using the VNC Program
VNC (on the enclosed CD-ROM) stands for 'virtual network computing' and is a program for remote operation
of computers.
The program distinguishes between the VNC server and VNC client (viewer). The server program is part of the
instrument software. The client program (viewer) must be executed on the notebook/PC to be used for
operating the instrument.
Caution!
The VNC version provided on CD must be used.
More recent VNC versions (freeware) from the Internet are not supported by the device!
For direct operation using the VNC program, the
IP address (extended by :1 ), must be specified when you
run the program;e.g 172.24.20.57:1.
The address range of the controlling
notebook/PC can be limited in the instrument;
see Chapter 5.6.6.
The operator interface of the VNC program
appears.
Note:
Instead of the VNC viewer, the web browser, e.g. Microsoft InternetExplorer, ‚Mozilla Firefox
Webbrowser’ etc., can be used directly.
The disadvantage is that an additional ‘Java’ installation is required.
In addition to VNC, this includes:
-
easy operation for back-up/restore
- easy operation for analysis
- easy operation for printing/data of the entire device configuration, see page 102.
