2.2.3.3 Using an Optional Battery Pack (R&S EVSG-B3) As an alternative to the fixed AC or DC power supply, the R&S EVSG1000 can be operated by a battery pack if the R&S EVSG-B2 and R&S EVSG-B3 options are instal- led. If the battery pack is installed and no DC power is supplied, the R&S EVSG1000 automatically switches to battery operation (during operation).

Page 124: Final Approach Segment (Fas) Construction Data
The GBAS specification [1] defines the TDMA timing structure, including timing budget of the VDB bursts, burst data contents and message encoding in great details. The R&S EVSG1000 receives the required training sequence, decodes the message according to [1] and demodulates the D8PSK modulated data automatically.
Page 125: Time Slot Synchronization Via Pps
The R&S EVSG1000 requires a valid PPS signal for the analysis of a GBAS/SCAT-I signal and for detection of the individual time slots. If the R&S EVSG1000 finds a valid PPS signal at its selected trigger connector, the status line of the display indicates "PPS Locked".

Possibly you would like to restore or repeat a measurement you performed under spe- cific conditions on the R&S EVSG1000. Or you would like to troubleshoot a measure- ment and require a defined instrument state to detect the precise cause of the error. In these cases, you can store and recall instrument and measurement settings.
Page 167 Preset Access: [Preset] > "Preset" When delivered, the R&S EVSG1000 has a default configuration. You can restore this defined initial state at any time as a known starting point for measurements. Presetting is often recommendable as a first step in troubleshooting when unusual measurement results arise.
