Version Description
For ADS 2009 Update 1 to ADS 2016.01, Connection Manager Server 2012.08 expands Advanced Design System's ability to control Keysight instrumentation and the number of instruments supported.

Starting with ADS 2014, there are some Connection Manager Client measurement cases (S-parameter PNA and ENA series Network Analyzers) where the Connection Manager Server is no longer required. Instead, use the CommandExpertMode add-on to Connection Manager Client. For more details, refer to the ADS 2014 CommandExpertMode Connection Manager PNA ENA Instrument Measurement Tool. Otherwise, Connection Manager Server is required to be installed for measurement of the full set of target Connection Manager Client and Ptolemy instrument links (Spectrum Analyzers, Voltage Oscilloscopes, Ptolemy Sink/Source CM_ parts). The license to run Connection Manager client and server are included in your core ADS licenses.

For more information about installing and configuring Connection Manager Server, please see Connection Manager Server Installation and Configuration Guidelines (requires Knowledge Center login).
