Operating Basics

Using WebMSM

If you have a system consisting of MTM400 units, you can expand your monitoring capabilities by using the WebMSM Monitoring System Manager.

The WebMSM software is effectively an installed version of the RUI. The WebMSM software provides additional functionality by allowing you to create hierarchical network views of your systems using the WebMSM Configuration Editor, and monitor and control multiple devices. The WebMSM user interface is similar to the RUI.

For further information concerning installing and configuring the WebMSM, refer to the WebMSM User Manual (Tektronix part number 071-1239-xx).

Using MLM1000

If you have a system with a number of Tektronix monitoring devices, which are not limited to MTM400 units, you can enhance your monitoring capabilities by using the MLM1000 Multi-Layer Monitoring software.

The MLM1000 software manages a hierarchical network of MTM400 units, waveform monitors, RF monitors and other instruments. Like the WebMSM software, it is installed on the PC; the MTM400 interface is identical to the RUI.

For further information concerning installing and configuring the MLM1000 software, refer to the MLM1000 Multi-Layer Monitoring Software User Manual (Tektronix part number 071-1433-xx).

User Interface Version

The software version of the user interface (RUI or WebMSM) is shown on the device information screen (page 3-1). Ensure that the RUI version is the same as the FW version installed in connected MTM400s.
