Page 18 The TACAN (Tactical Air Navigation) option R&S EDS-K1 is implemented as a USB stick. The TACAN stick is linked to the R&S EDS300 unambiguously via the instru- ment's MAC address. The R&S EDS300 can evaluate TACAN signals only if the TACAN stick with the TACAN software is inserted in one of the USB ports.
Page 19 R&S EDS300 Preparing for use The TACAN stick must be inserted before the R&S EDS300 is switched on. Do not remove the stick before switching off the R&S EDS300, or else the application is closed. When the R&S EDS300 firmware is started, the TACAN functionality is copied from the stick to the RAM.

Possibly you would like to restore or repeat a measurement you performed under spe- cific conditions on the R&S EDS300. Or you would like to troubleshoot a measurement 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 80 Rename.........................81 Factory Preset When delivered, the R&S EDS300 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.
