FSEM30: Remote control via RS232  FAQ overview
 
Question: How can I remotely control Rohde&Schwarz FSEM30 via HYPERTERMINAL?
   
Answer: First of all set the FSEM:
- Push the button 'SETUP'
- Push the softkey 'GENERAL SETUP'
- The COM1 settings should be ' 9600 8 NONE 1 NONE NONE INSTRUMENT'
- Use a cable like the one described here:
PC FSE
9-pin or 25-pin 9-pin
5 7 5 (GROUND TO GROUND)
3 2 2 (TxD - RxD)
7 4 8 (RTS - CTS)
6 6 4 (DSR - DTR, optional)
2 3 3 (RxD - TxD)
8 5 7 (CTS - RTS)
4 20 6 (DTR - DSR, optional)
- Connect the cable to FSEM COM1 and PC COM2


Then use the HYPERTERMINAL:
- Open the program HYPERTERMINAL
- Name the session
- Use COM2 as the connection
- Select the settings ' 9600 8 NONE 1 NONE'
- Go to the properties and there to the settings and then the ASCII configuration
- Switch on the line feed and the echo
- Send the query '*IDN?' and you should get an answer.
