Remote RF Signal Analyzer Panel

This section describes how to add a remote RF Signal Analyzer to your project to use remote RFmx hardware.

The following list describes important limitations to be aware of while using remote RF panels.

  • Spectrum Analyzer, LTE, WLAN, Bluetooth, and NR personality are the only available personalities in remote Signal Analyzer panels.
  • Remote hardware must be present on the same network in order to be remotely connected.
  • 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 hosted on another client.

Overview of Remote Panel Connections

Remote panel connections are facilitated by the NI gRPC server. You do not need to install NI drivers on the client you use to remotely access an RF panel. All required drivers must be installed on the server which hosts the hardware.
