1 Preface
The operation of the R&S CMW is described in several user manuals:
●The R&S CMW user manual describes the base software, common features of the
firmware applications and basic principles for manual operation and remote control.
There is a separate manual version for each R&S CMW model.
●Additional user manuals, like this document, describe the firmware applications.
There is only one version of these manuals for all R&S CMW models.
Rohde & Schwarz provides registered users a "CMW Customer Web" section on
GLORIS, the Global Rohde & Schwarz Information System: https://extranet.rohde-
schwarz.com. From this resource, you can download software updates, waveform
library updates and documentation updates, for example updates of this document.
1.1 R&S CMW Models
The R&S CMW software supports several instrument models. Depending on the
model, only a subset of the software packages and software options is allowed.
To check whether this document is relevant for your instrument model and which soft-
ware options are supported, refer to the preface of your model-specific base user man-
ual. The PDF filename of this manual starts with CMW<Model>_UserManual, for
example CMW500_UserManual.
1.2 How to Read Firmware Application Chapters
Each firmware application is described in a separate chapter. These chapters can be
read independently of each other. However, they are all organized as follows:
1. General Description
2. Application Sheets (optional)
3. GUI Reference
4. Programming Examples
5. Command Reference
The chapters "System Overview" and "Remote Control" in the R&S CMW user manual
provide additional important information independent of the individual firmware applica-
tions. The most important parts are referenced by the firmware application descrip-
tions.

1.2.1 General Description
This section provides a general description of the firmware application, independent of
a specific operation mode (manual or remote control). It gives a high-level introduction
to the capabilities of the firmware application. Background information related to the
network standard is given as far as it is directly related to administrable parameters.
For measurement applications a detailed description of measurement results and a
description of configurable limits is given, including the relation to conformance require-
ments defined in network standard specifications.
1.2.2 Application Sheets
This optional section provides short application examples for select issues and related
background information.
1.2.3 GUI Reference
The GUI reference describes the manual operation of the firmware application via the
Graphical User Interface (GUI).
The description of a configuration dialog usually starts with a screenshot presenting the
preset values of the parameters (sometimes preset values are modified to enable hid-
den parts of a dialog). Below the screenshot all shown parameters are described. For
each single parameter a link to the corresponding command description in the "Com-
mand Reference" is provided. Ranges for numeric parameters and reset values are
given there.
For measurement results links to the corresponding command descriptions are provi-
ded (commands to retrieve the results). The measurement results are described in
detail in the "General Description".
1.2.4 Programming Examples
The programming examples show how to control and configure the firmware applica-
tion via a remote-control program and how to retrieve measurement results. The exam-
ples consist of comprehensive command sequences. You can check just a single com-
mand of a sequence to get an example for the syntax of this single command. But you
can also consider an entire sequence showing the commands in the context of a com-
mand script, under consideration of dependencies and required orders of the com-
mands.
The command sequences are written with the intention to list most commands of the
firmware application. They do not show the fastest way for a given configuration task.
The fastest way would use many reset values and omit the corresponding commands.
The examples are referenced by the command descriptions of the "Command Refer-
ence".
