Keysight N9914B-030 – Remote Control Capability Option for N9914B
Option 030 adds remote control capability to FieldFox analyzers so that FieldFox can be controlled via an iOS device or an Android device. The FieldFox app, running on the iOS/Android device, combined with Option 030 on the FieldFox analyzer, provides full control of the instrument from a remote location. The app emulates the front panel of FieldFox, so users can press the FieldFox hard keys or softkeys using their iPhone/iPad or Android mobile device and make measurements remotely. For example, a tower climber can be on the tower with a FieldFox analyzer while the technician controls and makes the measurements below using an iPad. The iPad and FieldFox communicate via a network connection.

The FieldFox app communicates with FieldFox via a network connection, so both the iOS/Android device and FieldFox need to be on a network where both devices can reach the other. For example, a company intranet or a site installation using a wireless router. FieldFox can directly be connected to a LAN cable, or if wired LAN is not available, a user-supplied wireless router can be configured to work with FieldFox. FieldFox does not include a wireless router.
