R&S AFQ100A
The I/Q modulation generator is equipped with the Windows XP operating system. The configuration of
the operating system is optimally adapted to modulation generator functions in the factory. Changes in
the system setup are only required when peripherals like a keyboard is installed or in the event that the
network configuration does not comply with the default settings (see section
to a Network (LAN)").
After power-up of the modulation generator, the operating system boots and the instrument firmware is
started automatically without a password query (auto login).
Note:
Auto login is performed with the user name and the password "instrument". The standard user has
administrator rights so that peripherals and network installations are possible.
The operating system can only be accessed if an external keyboard and/or a mouse and an external
monitor are connected, an access via remote control commands is not possible. Windows XP provides
an on-screen keyboard that can be operated using a mouse, thus enabling operation by mouse only. An
external keyboard is recommended for extensive entries.
System settings under Windows XP can be made in the Start - Control Panel menu (for required
settings refer to the Windows XP manual and to the hardware description).
The Windows XP start menu is opened with the Windows key (next to the
combination +
Ctrl Esc
can be called. Some of the programs are also placed as symbols on the Windows task bar and can be
called directly by double-clicking on the associated symbol. The Windows XP desktop including the task
bar is displayed when moving the mouse to the bottom of the display.
The instrument display with block diagram, header and Winbar is displayed in the foreground by
double-clicking the Block Diagram, StatusBar and TaskBar buttons in the Windows task bar.
The R&S AFQ does not contain a disk drive. Data is exchanged via a memory stick connected to a USB
interface. An unused disk drive letter is automatically assigned to the memory stick. Data can be
transferred in Windows Explorer.

An energy-saving mode is a default setting in the R&S AFQ. The hard disk switches to energy-saving
mode if it is not accessed for 30 minutes. The energy-saving mode is exited by accessing the hard disk
