Component FW version UPVCompass_2.1.77.0-Release 2.1.77.0 Setup_3.1.20626Release 3.1.2 New Functionality Analyzer/Generator Generator function Stereo Sine: Filter and Equalizer can be independently selected for each channel. Generator function Play: Filter can be independently selected for each channel. Analyzer function THD: If all harmonics are outside the upper bandlimit, then the THD result is now set to “invalid”.
R&S UPV / UPP Error! Style not defined. Analog analyzer: 250 kHz bandwidth: special combinations of filters together with very long measurement times might cause the measurement not to terminate. Fixed by reducing the maximum measurement times. Generator overload might sporadically occur, if UPV-B3 is installed and generator bandwidth is changed at high output signal levels.

It is intended for use in mobile phone tests, to play an activation signal (usually a voice-like signal stored in a *.wav file) before the test signal (e.g. a sinewave) is started. Measurement starts, with the start of the test signal, and can be further delayed with the start condition delay.
