3.1.11 Checking 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. 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
User-defined instrument states can be stored and called up using the functions
"SGMA-GUI > File > Save As/Open".

3.1.12 Working with Linux operating system

The instrument uses an embedded Linux operating system, optimally adapted to the
instrument.
Accessing the operating system
No access to the operating system is required for normal operation.
All necessary system settings can be made in the "Setup" dialog.

3.1.13 Connecting an external PC and devices

For control and operation, the R&S SGT requires a connection to an external device.
The external device, e.g. an external PC, controls the R&S SGT via remote control or
manual operation via the R&S SGMA-GUI software installed on the external PC.
Both the remote control and the manual operation of the instrument require an external
controller. For the prerequisites and the instructions on how to configure an external
controller for remote control, refer to the user manual. A brief introduction to the remote
control capabilities is provided in
on page 312.
