Configure Remote RF Signal Analyzer Panels

You can add a remote RF signal analyzer panel to your project to use remote RFmx hardware.

Consider the following limitations when you use a remote RF signal analyzer panel:
  • You can only use the following personalities for remote a remote RF signal analyzer panel:
    • Spectrum Analyzer
    • LTE
    • WLAN
    • Bluetooth
    • NR
  • The remote hardware must be present on the same network in order to be remotely connected.
  • The remote panels perform best when the remote hardware is within your local facility topology.
  • You cannot create a remote panel for a device that is in use by another remote client.
  • You cannot remotely monitor a remote session that is hosted on another client.

Overview of Remote Panel Connections

The NI gRPC-device server facilitates remote panel connections. You do not need to install NI drivers on the client that you use to remotely access a remote RF signal analyzer panel. You must install the required drivers on the server that hosts the hardware.
