Basic safety instructions
1. The product may be operated only under
the operating conditions and in the
positions specified by the manufacturer. Its
ventilation must not be obstructed during
operation. Unless otherwise specified, the
following requirements apply to
Rohde & Schwarz products:
IP protection 2X, pollution severity 2,
overvoltage category 2, use only in
enclosed spaces, max. operation altitude
max. 2000 m.
2. Applicable local or national safety
regulations and rules for the prevention of
accidents must be observed in all work
performed. The product may be opened
only by authorized, specially trained
personnel. Prior to performing any work on
the product or opening the product, the
instrument must be disconnected from the
supply network. Any adjustments,
replacements of parts, maintenance or
repair must be carried out only by technical
personnel authorized by Rohde & Schwarz.
Only original parts may be used for
replacing parts relevant to safety (e.g.
power switches, power transformers,
fuses). A safety test must always be
performed after parts relevant to safety
have been replaced
(visual inspection, PE conductor test,
insulation resistance measurement,
leakage current measurement, functional
test).
3. As with all industrially manufactured goods,
the use of substances that induce an
allergic reaction (allergens) such as
aluminum cannot be generally excluded. If
you develop an allergic reaction (such as a
skin rash, frequent sneezing, red eyes or
respiratory difficulties), consult a physician
immediately to determine the cause.
4. Depending on the function, certain products
such as RF radio equipment can produce
an elevated level of electromagnetic
radiation. Considering that unborn life
requires increased protection, pregnant
women should be protected by appropriate
measures. Persons with pacemakers may
also be endangered by electromagnetic
radiation. The employer is required to
assess workplaces where there is a special
risk of exposure to radiation and, if
necessary, take measures to avert the
danger.
1171.0000.42-01.00 Sheet 2
Safety Instructions
5. Operating the products requires special
training and intense concentration.
Disabled persons should not use the
products unless it is made certain that their
disability has no adverse effects while they
are operating the products.
6. Prior to switching on the product, it must be
ensured that the nominal voltage setting on
the product matches the nominal voltage of
the AC supply network. If a different voltage
is to be set, the power fuse of the product
may have to be changed accordingly.
7. In the case of products of safety class I with
movable power cord and connector,
operation is permitted only on sockets with
earthing contact and protective earth
connection.
8. Intentionally breaking the protective earth
connection either in the feed line or in the
product itself is not permitted. Doing so can
result in the danger of an electric shock
from the product. If extension cords or
connector strips are implemented, they
must be checked on a regular basis to
ensure that they are safe to use.
9. If the product has no power switch for
disconnection from the AC supply, the plug
of the connecting cable is regarded as the
disconnecting device. In such cases, it
must be ensured that the power plug is
easily reachable and accessible at all times
(length of connecting cable approx. 2 m).
Functional or electronic switches are not
suitable for providing disconnection from
the AC supply. If products without power
switches are integrated in racks or syst ems,
a disconnecting device must be provided at
the system level.
10. Never use the product if the power cable is
damaged. By taking appropriate safety
measures and carefully laying the power
cable, ensure that the cable cannot be
damaged and that no one can be hurt by
e.g. tripping over the cable or suffering an
electric shock.
11. The product may be operated only from
TN/TT supply networks fused with max.
16 A.
12. Do not insert the plug into sockets that are
dusty or dirty. Insert the plug firmly and all
the way into the socket. Otherwise this can
result in sparks, fire and/or injuries.
13. Do not overload any sockets, extension
cords or connector strips; doing so can
cause fire or electric shocks.
14. For measurements in circuits with voltages
V
> 30 V, suitable measures (e.g.
rms
appropriate measuring equipment, fusing,
current limiting, electrical separation,
insulation) should be taken to avoid any
hazards.
15. Ensure that the connections with
information technology equipment comply
with IEC950/EN60950.
16. Never remove the cover or part of the
housing while you are operating the
product. This will expose circuits and
components and can lead to injuries, fire or
damage to the product.
17. If a product is to be permanently installed,
the connection between the PE terminal on
site and the product's PE conductor must
be made first before any other connection
is made. The product may be installed and
connected only by a skilled electrician.
18. For permanently installed equipment
without built-in fuses, circuit breakers or
similar protective devices, the supply circuit
must be fused in such a way that suitable
protection is provided for users and
products.
19. Do not insert any objects into the openings
in the housing that are not designed for this
purpose. Never pour any liquids onto or into
the housing. This can cause short circuits
inside the product and/or electric shocks,
fire or injuries.
20. Use suitable overvoltage protection to
ensure that no overvoltage (such as that
caused by a thunderstorm) can reach the
product. Otherwise the operating personnel
will be endangered by electric shocks.

Putting the Instrument into Operation
This section describes the basic steps to be taken when setting up the CMU for the first time.
Caution!
Please make sure to observe the ins tructions of the following sections so that you
cannot cause damage to the instrument or endanger people. This is of particular
Unpacking the Instrument

importance when you use the instrument for the first time.
¾ Take the instrum ent out of the shipping box and check whether the
items listed in the pac king list (see page 3 at the beginning of this
manual) are all included.
¾ Remove the two protective c aps f rom the f ront and rear of the CMU
and carefully check the instrument for damage.
Should the instrument be damaged, im m ediately notify the forwarder who shipped the instrument to you
and keep the box and packing material.
For further transport or shipment of the CMU the original packing should be used, too. It is
recommended to keep at least the two protective caps for front and rear side in order to prevent damage
to the controls and connectors. T he caps ar e also neces sary if the CMU is transported in its transit case
that can be ordered from Rohde & Schwarz.
Setting up the Instrument
Permissible operating positions of the CMU:
• Horizontal position, standing on the feet.
• For applications in the laboratory or on a work bench, it is recomm ended that the suppor t feet on the
bottom of the instrument be extended. For the LCD dis play, this provides the optimum viewing angle
which typically ranges from perpendicular to the display front to approximately 30° below.
Notes: For safe and convenient operation of the instrument note the following:
Warning!
The feet must be fully folded in or out. Only in this way can the stability of CMU be
guaranteed and reliable operation be ensured. With the feet out, the weight of other
units put onto CMU must not exceed 30 kg. The units must be secured against
slipping (e.g. by locking the feet of the unit at the top side of the enclosure).
When moving the unit with the feet out, the feet might collapse and fold in. To avoid
injuries, the unit must therefore not be moved with the feet out.
¾ Do not cover the rear and lateral ventilation holes.
¾ Note the permissible ambient temperature according to the data sheet.
¾ Avoid moisture condensation. If it occurs, the instrument must be wiped dry before
switching on.

Software Update and Version Management R&S CMU 200
Software Update and Version Management
Your CMU was delivered with the latest software and firmware version available. New firmware can be
easily installed via the floppy disk drive (option CMU-U61) or the PCMCIA interf ace on the front of the
instrument.
Note:When copying an installation version to a PCMCIA card or floppy , ensure that all folders
containing a base system version or network option (the lowest-level folders in Fig. 1-9
below) are in the root directory. Otherwise the R&S CMU will not be able to detect the
firmware and start the installation. If a Versions .new text file (see sec tion File Versions.new
on p. 1.26 ff.) is used, it must also be in the root directory of the external storage medium.
New software options must be enabled by means of a key code entered in the Setup –
Options menu (see Chapter 4 of the operating manual). This is necessary only once; all
options remain enabled after a software update.
Installation of new firmware versions and the use of different applications and versions on the same
instrument is made easier by the following tools:
• The R&S Remote Service Tool (see p. 1.18 ff.) transfers software versions to the instrument.
• The VersionManager (see p. 1.27 ff .) is designed to manage different sof tware versions stored on
the instrument.
Installation instructions are also given in Chapter 1 of the operating manuals for the individual s oftware
options.
R&S Remote Service Tool
The R&S Remote Service T ool organizes the exchange of data between the R&S CMU and an external
PC or laptop, in particular to:
• Copy software versions and install them on the R&S CMU.
• Copy or move data files (e.g. screenshots created with the Print menu of model R&S CMU).
• Send remote control commands to the instrument.
The tool is available for download on the CMU Customer Web (https://gloris.rohde-
schwarz.com/gloris/1cmp/cmucustomer/index.html). It consists of a s ingle *.exe f ile which c an be copied
to any directory. When the executable file is started (double-clicked), the R&S Remote Service Tool
opens the following main application window.

The file is most conveniently created using the Remote Service Tool; see
application examples Installing software versions on p. 1.19 and Listing and
modifying software versions on p. 1.20. T he Remote Service Tool also copies
the file to its location on the CMU’s internal hard disk (C:\INTERNAL\INSTALL)
so that it will be executed when the VersionManager is started.
Alternatively, the file can be created manually and copied to the
C:\INTERNAL\INSTALL directory or to the root directory of a PCMCIA
card/floppy disk.
Restrictions
The information in the Versions.new file must be unambiguous: Only one
software configuration with 1 base system sof tware can be installed at once.

Alternatively, the file may list several network options to be combined with an
already installed, compatible base system version.
Only one software configuration can be active, however, several configur ations
can be deleted together. T o avoid errors, it is recommended to use diff erent
files for installation and deletion/activation.
Typical application ¾ Copy a Versions.new file to the root dir ectory of a PCMCIA card containing
several installation versions and insert the card into the R&S CMU’s
PCMCIA slot.
After the instrument is booted, the VersionManager is started automatic ally and
installs the software packages listed in the file.
CMU VersionManager
The VersionManager is a tool designed to activate, delete, install, combine, or list different software
versions in a convenient way. Moreover, it provides information on the hardware and software
configuration of the instrum ent (Edit service tables, Scan disk ), resets the startup settings stored in the
non volatile ram, copies information to an external storage medium (Write log files to disk, List all
versions to disk), and loads and ac tivates user cor rection tables (s ee section Chapter 1 of the complete
operating manual).
The VersionManager is part of each CMU firm ware version. It is opened automatically after the boot-up
process if the CMU detects a storage medium in its floppy disk drive/PCMCIA slot that contains an
installation version of the CMU firm ware. Alternatively, it can be called up by pressing the Menu Select
key after the boot-up sequence is term inated (from the moment when the CMU display turns black until
the end of the 3-beep acoustic signal).

groups representing digital network tests (such as
GSM400/850/900/1800/1900-MS) are generally subdivided in
the two test modes Non Signalling and Signalling, each containing a number of measurement menus.
The RF function group is available on any CMU regardless of

d Analyzer/Generator menu
The Analyzer/Generator menu contains several softkeys to
• Control the RF signals received and analyzed (Analyzer
Level, Analyzer Settings)
•Control the RF signals generated (Generator)
Defining a level and frequency via the Generator softk ey and
the associated hotkeys implies that a continuous signal ( CW )
with this level and frequency is generated.
The RF Max. Level defined via Analyzer Level, however, denotes the maximum input power which can be measured.
This is identical with the upper edge of the Power diagram
(see below). The permiss ible range of Max. Level depends on
the input connector and external attenuation us ed (see section Analyzer Settings in Chapter 4).

cRF connectors
The RF Connection Control menu configures the input and
output connectors in the RF function group. T he four c onnectors on the fr ont panel differ by their permissible range of input and output powers (see Chapter 4 of the operating m anual and data sheet). The values quoted on the left side are
compatible with the rated specifications.
d External attenuation
An external attenuation can be reported to the CMU in order
to compensate for known losses between the signal source
and the device under test or the analyzer.
In our example, the ( positive) dif f er enc e between the analyzer
power measured and the generator power can be reported as
an external output attenuation at RF 2. The RF generator increases its level to maintain the commanded power of
–27 dBm at the analyzer. The nominal generator power set in
the RF level field is thus measur ed and indicated next to the
Analyzer Power softkey.
