Via the USB ports, you can connect external devices directly to the R&S SMC. If you need more interfaces, you just use an USB hub.
- Memory stick for easy transfer of data to/from a computer (for example firmware updates).
- CD-ROM drives for easy installation of firmware applications.
- Keyboard or mouse to simplify the entry of data, comments, file names, etc.
- Power sensors, for example of the NRPxS(N) Power Sensors family.
Installing USB devices is easy under Linux, because all USB devices are plug&play. After a device is connected to the USB interface, the operating system automatically searches for a suitable device driver.
If Linux does not find a suitable driver, it will prompt you to specify a directory that contains the driver software. If the driver software is on a CD, connect a USB CD-ROM drive to the instrument before proceeding.
When a USB device is subsequently disconnected from the R&S SMC, the operating system immediately detects the change in hardware configuration and deactivates the corresponding driver.
All USB devices can be connected to or disconnected from the instrument during operation.
If installation of a memory stick or CD-ROM drive is successful, the operating system informs you that the device is ready to use. The device is made available as a new drive (/usb). The name of the drive is manufacturer-dependent.
The keyboard is detected automatically when it is connected. The default keyboard layout is English – US.
Use the "Setup > Keyboard Settings" dialog to configure the keyboard properties.
The mouse is detected automatically when it is connected.
