R&S AFQ100A
Connecting an External Keyboard
A commercial, external keyboard with USB interface can be connected to the R&S AFQ. A keyboard is a
prerequisite for manual control of the instrument and for operation of Windows XP without a Remote
Desktop connection to an external PC.
The keyboard is connected to one of the USB interfaces, type A, either at the front panel of the
instrument or at the rear panel. The keyboard can be connected while the instrument is running,
rebooting is not required.
NOTICE
Remember the USB connectors' maximum load of 0.5 A.

The keyboard is detected automatically when it is connected. The UK keyboard assignment is the
default setting. The keyboard assignment and special settings such as the refresh rate can be changed
in the Start - Control Panel - Keyboard or Regional and Language Options menu of Windows XP.
The menu can be accessed by pressing the Windows key on the external keyboard.
Note:
A keyboard emulation can be called from the Window XP operating system (START - Programs -
Accessories - Accessibility - On-Screen Keyboard). With the On-Screen Keyboard it is possible to
manually operate the instrument using the mouse only.
