Claim:
1. A measurement system for measuring an electrical response of a device to a test signal, comprising: a measurement instrument selectively connectable with the device via a transmission line, wherein the measurement instrument is configured to generate a radio frequency (RF) signal as the test signal, transmit the test signal to the device over the transmission line, and measure the electrical response of the device to the test signal; wherein the measurement instrument includes a controller for controlling the measurement instrument, the controller having a first transceiver; and a portable user interface including a second transceiver and configured to wirelessly communicate directly with the first transceiver of the controller via the second transceiver, wherein the portable user interface is operable to remotely display the electrical response measured by the measurement instrument in near real time and control the measurement instrument via the controller; a housing within the measurement instrument for selectively receiving the portable user interface; wherein the portable user interface is configured to be physically coupled to the measurement instrument via the housing; wherein when the portable user interface is physically coupled to the measurement instrument, the portable user interface is configured to communicate with the controller via a wired connection; and wherein when the portable user interface is physically decoupled from the measurement instrument, the portable user interface is configured to communicate with the controller via a wireless connection.
