Field Master™ MS2070A/MS2080A User Guide : ARRT Software : Introduction
 
Introduction
The Anritsu Remote and Report Tools (ARRT) software provides remote access to a network connected instrument and displays the same MS2070A/80A user interface, instrument controls, and live measurement data on the computer screen. The software also allows you to load measurement and setup data from saved files and then perform measurement analysis on the recalled traces, even when instrument hardware is not available or is not connected to the PC by using the simulation mode (refer to Connecting to the MS2070A/80A or Simulation Mode). The user interface provides the same functionality when an instrument is connected with a few exceptions:
• File operations will interface with the PC file system rather than on the instrument and save on event operations will be saved to the instrument memory (refer to FILE (File Management)).
• In Real Time Spectrum Analyzer (RTSA) mode, the display density is shown like that of the instrument.
Connecting to the simulation mode is like connecting to an instrument so there is no expectation of carrying over settings or trace data from one to the other. The simulation mode will include option controlled functionality with most options automatically enabled (refer to Working with Simulation Mode).
