Important:

This software requires Keysight Connection Expert 2018, which can be downloaded for free here:

Notes:

The software *should* work fine without any installation: just unpack and start executable.

You need to setup the VISA connection in Keysight Connection Expert 2018:
For this to work, you need to configure the Remote settings of your CRTU/CMU200:
SCPI Connection:
Port = GPIB, Com1, Com2 or GPIB + Com1
Primary Address [GPIB]
Primary Address = 0 (or whatever you want)
Secondary Address [GPIB]
Address1 = RF Mode = Non-Signalling
For RS232 connection go to Comm. tab and configure as follows:
Com1/Com2:
Application = Remote
Baudrate = 115200 (requires FW 4.x or higher)
Data Bits = 8
Stop Bits = 1
Parity = none
Protocol = CtsRts
It is recommended to use a USB-GPIB interface:
