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, in conjunction with the
-  National Instruments   NI PCI-GPIB controller, 
-   NI-488.2 controller software for Windows 2000/XP (V2.5)
-  Microsoft Excel 2002 for data presentation

It can be downloaded for free.

It's functionality is split in two parts (see also our screen shots). With it's standard functionality you are able to check if the software is suitable to operate on your computer / OS / GPIB installation. If it works fine you may consider to make a registration request to get access to the enhanced functionality.

Standard functionality
 - Operating the RF and AF Signal Generators
        * RF Frequency,  power, modulation mode and index
        * AF Frequency and voltage

Enhanced functionality (subject to registration )
 - Making use of the available measurements like transmitter and  
   receiver measurements. E.g.
        * SINAD, S/N and distortion measurements
        * Frequency and bandwidth measurements
        * Modulation index measurements
        * AF frequency and voltage measurements
        * V/I - DC measurements
These measurements can be either "one shot" or  "sequentially"      
depending on various initiating sources.
