2.5 Linux Operating System

The instrument uses an embedded Linux operating system. To make sure that the
instrument software works properly, certain rules must be adhered to concerning the
operating system.
Risk of causing instrument unusability
The instrument is equipped with the Linux operating system. Additional software can
therefore be installed on the instrument. The use and installation of additional software
may impair instrument function. Thus, run only programs that Rohde & Schwarz has
tested for compatibility with the instrument software.
The drivers and programs used on the instrument under Linux have been adapted to
the instrument. Existing instrument software must always be modified using only
update software released by Rohde & Schwarz.
The configuration of the operating system is optimally adapted to signal generator
functions in the factory. Changes in the system setup are only required when peripher-
als like keyboard are installed or if the network configuration does not comply with the
default settings (see
on page 35). After the R&S SMB is started, the operating system boots and the
instrument firmware is started automatically.
Accessing Operating System
No access to the operating system is required for normal operation.
All necessary system settings can be made in the "Setup" dialog.
The R&S SMB provides an internal flash memory, it does not contain a disk drive. The
flash memory holds the operating system, the firmware and the stored data. Data
transfer is possible via a memory stick connected to a USB interface. The memory
stick and the flash memory are accessed via the "File Manager".
