13 | Keysight | N9923A FieldFox RF Vector Network Analyzer - Data Sheet
Remote Control Capability (Option 030)
Option 030 adds remote control capability to the FieldFox analyzers that allows FieldFox
to be controlled via an iOS device. The FieldFox app, running on the iOS device, com-
bined with Option 030 on the FieldFox analyzer provides full control of the instrument
from a remote location. The app emulates the front panel of the unit, so users can press
any FieldFox key right from their iOS device, including hardkeys or softkeys.
iOS device requirements
– iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch
– iOS of 5.1 or higher
– A WiFi or 3G/4G connection
The FieldFox app communicates with FieldFox via a network connection, both the iOS
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 be directly connected to a LAN cable, or if wired LAN is not available, a user sup-
plied wireless router can be configured to work with FieldFox. A wireless router is not
included with FieldFox.
FieldFox app without Option 030
The FieldFox app can be installed on an iOS device independent of the presence of
Option 030 on the analyzer. Without Option 030, users can view the live display screen
of their FieldFox remotely, but cannot control the instrument. FieldFox with Option 030
installed allows users to both view and control their FieldFox. Control refers to the ability
to press hardkeys, softkeys, make or change measurements, etc.
Option 030 does not include an iOS device, users must supply their own. Option 030 is a
license on the FieldFox analyzer.
Option 030 and the FieldFox app are not applicable to Android, BlackBerry, or Windows
phone/tablet devices.
