Using Microsoft Windows XP
Remote Desktop: Using the X-Series Instruments Remotely
Setting up the remote computer
The procedure depends on whether the Remote Computer to be set up is running
Windows XP, or another version of Microsoft Windows.
Remote computer running Windows XP
Windows XP includes the Remote Desktop Connectivity Client software, so no
additional setup is required.
Remote computer running another version of Windows
You can use any 32-bit version of Windows (Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, or 2000) to
install and run the Client software for Remote Desktop Connectivity. However, you
need to have available a Windows XP installation CD-ROM, because that contains
the Client software.
