Page 22: Unpacking And Checking The Instrument
® Preparing for Use R&S Putting into Operation Risk of instrument damage due to inappropriate operating conditions An unsuitable operating site or test setup can damage the instrument and connected devices. Before switching on the instrument, observe the information on appropriate operating conditions provided in the data sheet.
Page 23: Accessory List
® Preparing for Use R&S Putting into Operation Risk of injury during transportation The carrying handles at the front and side of the casing are designed to lift or carry the instrument. Do not apply excessive force to the handles. If a handle is ripped off, the falling instrument can cause injury.
Page 24 ® Preparing for Use R&S Putting into Operation Risk of injury when stacking instruments A stack of instruments can tilt over and cause injury if not stacked correctly. Further- more, the instruments at the bottom of the stack can be damaged due to the load imposed by the instruments on top.
Page 25: Connecting The Ac Power
® Preparing for Use R&S Putting into Operation Rackmounting The R&S ESW can be installed in a rack using a rack adapter kit (order no. see data sheet). The installation instructions are part of the adapter kit. Risk of instrument damage due to insufficient airflow in a rack If you mount several instruments in a rack, you need an efficient ventilation concept to ensure that the instruments do not overheat.
Page 26: Performing A Self-Alignment And A Selftest
® Preparing for Use R&S Putting into Operation 2. Set the AC power switch on the rear panel to position "O", or disconnect the instru- ment from the AC power supply. The R&S ESW changes into off mode. Risk of losing data If you switch off the running instrument using the rear panel switch or by disconnecting the power cord, the instrument loses its current settings.
Page 27: Checking The Supplied Options

Page 31: Accessing The Start Menu
® Preparing for Use R&S Connecting USB Devices This command reactivates automatic login function. It is active the next time the instrument reboots. 4.2.4 Accessing the Start Menu The Windows "Start" menu provides access to the Microsoft Windows functionality and installed programs.
Page 32 ® Preparing for Use R&S Connecting USB Devices Installing USB devices is easy under Windows, because all USB devices are plug&play. After a device is connected to the USB interface, the operating system auto- matically searches for a suitable device driver. If Windows does not find a suitable driver, it prompts you to specify a directory that contains the driver software.
Page 33: Connecting An External Monitor
® Preparing for Use R&S Connecting an External Monitor Connecting a printer When printing a file, the instrument checks whether a printer is connected and turned on and whether the appropriate printer driver is installed.

Page 86: Applications
® Applications R&S R&S MultiView 8 Applications The R&S ESW provides several applications for different analysis tasks (for example the Receiver application or the I/Q Analyzer). When you activate an application, the R&S ESW creates a new measurement channel which in turn determines the mea- surement settings for that application.
Page 87: Available Applications
® Applications R&S Available Applications Remote command: on page 517 DISPlay:FORMat 8.2 Available Applications The R&S ESW provides several applications for specific measurement tasks. Spectrogram application Spectrogram measurements are not a separate application, but rather a trace evalua- tion method, thus they are available as an evaluation method for the Display Configu- ration, not by creating a new channel.

Page 105 ® Measurements and Result Displays R&S Test Automation For spectrum measurements, you can also define a sweep count. The sweep count defines the number of measurements a single sweep is made up out of. If the sweep count is 0 or 1, the R&S ESW runs a single measurement from start to stop frequency. If the sweep count is greater than 1, the R&S ESW repeats the measurement from start to stop frequency a corresponding number of times.

Page 108 ® Measurements and Result Displays R&S Test Automation In time domain measurement systems, the spectrum at the receiver input is mea- sured in parallel by using fast fourier transform (FFT) of frequency sections. ● Fixed frequency scan on a single frequency This scan is carried out on a fixed frequency.

A selectable number of subrange maxima are determined for each subrange. In the final measurement, the interference spectrum is further analyzed at frequencies with the highest interference level of a frequency subrange.

Page 116 ® Measurements and Result Displays R&S Test Automation Changing channels while a scan is running When you change the measurement channel while a scan is running (for example switch to a spectrum channel), the R&S ESW holds the scan. When you change back to the receiver channel in which the scan is running, you can resume the scan from the hold frequency.

Page 199 ® Common Analysis and Display Functions R&S Trace Configuration However, you should select a measurement time that is sufficient for the detector that requires the longest measurement time. You can use several detectors simultaneously. The simultaneous use of several detec- tors (multiple detection) has advantages for EMC measurements, which often require different weightings: you can test different weightings with a single measurement.
Page 200 ® Common Analysis and Display Functions R&S Trace Configuration The Average Detector The average detector displays the average level of the samples that have been cap- tured during the measurement. For average detection, the video voltage (envelope of IF signal) is averaged over the measurement time.

Page 209 ® Common Analysis and Display Functions R&S Trace Configuration The Shape and Focus of the Color Curve The color mapping function assigns a specified color to a specified power level in the spectrogram display. By default, colors on the color map are distributed evenly. How- ever, to visualize a certain area of the value range in greater detail than the rest, you can set the focus of the color mapping to that area.

Page 317 ® General Instrument Setup R&S Transducers Transducer factors A transducer factor takes the frequency response of a single transfer element into account. It consists of a series of reference values. Each reference value in turn con- sists of a frequency and the corresponding level (correction) value. The transducer fac- tor can consist of up to 1001 reference values.
Page 318: Working With Transducers
® General Instrument Setup R&S Transducers Transducers in the receiver application The transducer is calculated for a set scan. The transducer is uniquely calculated for each frequency point and added to the result of the level measurement as the mea- surement results are stored internally and can be zoomed later.
Page 319 ® General Instrument Setup R&S Transducers The dialog box contains several tabs, including one to configure transducer factors and one to configure transducer sets. Basically, both tabs contain the following elements. ● A list of available transducer factors or transducer sets. The list shows the name of the transducer factor or set, its unit, if it is compatible with the current measurement configuration and its state.
Page 320 ® General Instrument Setup R&S Transducers To restore the original dynamic range, you have to compensate for the transducer fac- tor. You can do this by adjusting the reference level accordingly. If you turn on the auto- matic adjustment of the reference level (➙"Adjust Ref Level"), the R&S ESW restores the original dynamic range as best as possible by changing the reference level by the maximum level shift defined in the active transducer factor.
