Configuring Your System for Remote RF Signal Analyzer Panels

You must configure a gRPC server before remotely connecting to RF Signal Analyzer hardware using InstrumentStudio. The server must be set up on the computer that is connected to the hardware. Complete the following steps to enable remote connections to RF Signal Analyzer hardware.

  1. Go to the NI gRPC device repo and follow the instructions there to install the NI gRPC server on the computer connected to the hardware.
  2. Navigate to the install location, and open the server_config.json file in an editor.
  3. Add the following parameter and value to your configuration file: "code_readiness": "RestrictedRelease"
  4. Remove the line "address" : "[::1]". This allows any address to connect to the device.
  5. Update the port number. This will require users to specify a port number when connecting from InstrumentStudio.
  6. Run the server. Follow instructions in the NI gRPC device repo for specific instructions on running the server.
Your configuration file should now look like this:
{
  "port": 31763,
  "security" : {
     "server_cert": "",
     "server_key": "",
     "root_cert": ""
  },
  "code_readiness": "RestrictedRelease"
}

Your system is now configured to allow clients to create remote Signal Analyzer panels in InstrumentStudio.
