Description
Many commercial instruments -- oscilloscopes, network analyzers, spectrum analyzers -- are now using a Windows platform. Thus they provide all the features and security issues of a desk-top PC. It is necessary to connect these instruments to the Ethernet to provide remote access. At the same time it is necessary that the instrument can be operated locally without having a keyboard, mouse, or password protected screen saver. Implementing a kiosk mode -- a limited user is allowed to run one program -- provides cyber security. The steps needed to implement kiosk mode will be present along with the limitations of the kiosk mode.
