• Ethernet remote control option
• Compatible with NGE100 power supplies (NGE102B/NGE103B)

LAN interface (LXI) with integrated web server

In addition to the standard USB connector, the R&S NGE100B power supply series offers an optional Ethernet interface (R&S NGE-K101), which can be activated by the customer using a keycode that has to be ordered separately. This option allows the user to remotely control all instrument parameters. A fixed IP address can be used, or, alternatively, the DHCP function might be used to allocate dynamic IP addresses. The Ethernet function offers a web server that can be used by standard web browsers (i.e. Internet Explorer).

Wireless LAN, unique in this class

An alternative to remotely controlling the R&S NGE100B power supply series is to use the optional wireless LAN interface (R&S NGE-K102), which has to be ordered separately. Activated by a keycode, the wireless LAN module supports the client mode, meaning the instruments automatically connect to a network. Other power supplies or other test instruments can also be connected. Using a browser, all connected instruments can be operated via the web. In a typical classroom setting, this enables the teacher to control all of the students’ instruments or to set them to defined start conditions.

Digital trigger in/out (4 bit) on the rear

Another option for the R&S NGE100B power supply series is a set of 4-bit digital in/out interfaces that can be individually used as trigger inputs or outputs. Similar to the other options, the hardware of the R&S NGE-K103 option is already installed and the functionality is activated with a keycode that has to be ordered separately.
