The Keysight N9912A-030 is the remote-control capability option for the N9912A.

Users can remotely monitor and control their FieldFox using their iOS or Android device. FieldFox’s Remote Viewer app emulates the unit’s front panel so that users can press any FieldFox fundamental right from their machine, including the hard keys or softkeys.

With this technology, FieldFox can now be placed in areas where users do not wish to stay long due to extraordinarily harsh or unsafe conditions. Additionally, suppose one technician or engineer has trouble making a measurement or determining the source of a problem. In that case, another can step in to remotely troubleshoot and solve the problem, which helps minimize rework and multiple trips. When the application is launched, users can access the FieldFox demo videos and technical literature such as user guides, application notes, and datasheets.

Accessing this information via the FieldFox app helps engineers and technicians in the field quickly find the data they need to resolve issues as they arise. Such capabilities also make the app ideal for training and educational purposes.

The device and FieldFox communicate via a WLAN or broadband data connection. Without Option 030, users can remotely view the live display screen of their FieldFox, but cannot control the instrument.
