2.1.6 Function Check

The instrument automatically monitors the main functions when it is switched on and
monitors them continuously during operation.
A detected fault is indicated by an "Error" message displayed in the info line of the
R&S SGMA-GUI together with a brief error description. For an in-depth identification of
the error, press the "SGMA-GUI > Info" button. In response, a description of the errors
is displayed. For more information, refer to the "Error Messages" section in the user
manual.
In addition to the automatic monitoring, the R&S SGT offers the following capabilities to
ensure correct functioning:
●
Internal Adjustments
In the R&S SGMA-GUI, select the "Instrument > Setup > Internal Adjustments" dia-
log to access the dialog for performing and configuring the adjustments settings. A
maximum level accuracy can be obtained, for instance.
●
Selftest
A selftest is provided for service purposes ("SGMA-GUI > Instrument > Diagnostic/
Test > Self Test").

2.1.7 Default Settings

When the instrument is switched on, it is not the preset state that is active, but rather
the instrument state that was set before the instrument was switched off. It is recom-
mended that you use the "SGMA-GUI > Instrument > Preset" function to return the
instrument to its defined preset state every time a new configuration is required or the
current setup is no longer relevant.
The R&S SGT offers a two-stage preset concept:
●
Preset the instrument to a predefined state
The "SGMA-GUI > Instrument Name > Preset" function calls up a defined instru-
ment setup. All parameters and switching states are preset (also these of inactive
operating modes). The default instrument settings provide a reproducible initial
basis for all other settings. However, functions that concern the integration of the
instrument into a measurement setup are not changed.
●
Preset the instrument to its factory settings
The instrument can also be forced to load its default factory settings. To access the
corresponding dialog box, select the "SGMA-GUI > Instrument Name > Setup >
Factory Preset" function.
For more information and an overview of the settings affected by the factory preset
function, see the "Factory Preset" section in the user manual.
