3.2.2.1 Connecting the R&S EVSF1000 to the Board Power
Getting Started
Preparing for Use
Risk of instrument damage due to environmental conditions
The R&S EVSF1000 is designed to provide a protected environment for the measurement setup. However, observe the allowed environmental conditions concerning temperature, humidity and mechanical stress described in the R&S EVSF1000 data sheet
and the general safety instructions to avoid damage to the devices.
Ensure that the airflow perforations are unimpeded.
If your R&S EVSF1000 comes with the optional tray for rack installation, start with
Chapter 3.2.2.3, "Installing the R&S EVSF1000 in a Rack", on page 10.
The R&S EVSF1000 is connected to the board power (11 V DC to 32 V DC) of the
flight inspection plane or the drone.
The R&S EVSF1000 is inline with DO-160G, Section 16, Category A. (200 ms DC
power interruption without reboot of R&S EVSF1000 for a minimum of 20 V DC input.)
Risk of electric shock
Insufficient insulation and exceeding the current limitation of external power supplies
for safety extra-low DC voltage (SELV) can lead to electric shock.
Be sure to meet the requirements for reinforced/double insulation in accordance with
DIN/EN/IEC 61010 (UL 3111, CSA C22.2 No. 1010.1) or DIN/EN/IEC 60950 (UL 1950,
CSA C22.2 No. 950). Provide current limitation in accordance with DIN EN 61010-1
Appendix F2.1.
3.2.2.2 Connecting Devices for Signal Input and Output
1. Connect the RF input connector (RX 1 IN/RX 2 IN) with the receiving antenna (see
Chapter 3.3.2.4, "RX 1 In / RX 2 In", on page 18).
2. Connect any other required connectors for input or output, such as GPS or PPS
signals (see Chapter 3.3.1, "Front Panel", on page 14 and Chapter 3.3.2, "Rear
Panel", on page 16).
3.2.2.3 Installing the R&S EVSF1000 in a Rack
The R&S EVSF1000 is meant for use in a flight inspection plane or a drone. For a stable setup, you can connect the R&S EVSF1000 to an optional installation tray that you
insert in the flight inspection rack.

Getting Started
Preparing for Use
Using the connector plate, you can remove and replace the R&S EVSF1000 quickly
and easily. While the tray remains connected to the aircraft permanently, you can
remove the R&S EVSF1000 quickly and easily, without having to disconnect all cables
from the instrument individually.
This setup requires an R&S EVSF1000 with the following options:
●
Slide-in hardware (R&S EVSF1-B4)
●
Installation tray with connector (R&S EVSF1-Z1)
The 60 mm perforations allow you to mount external fans to the tray.
To mount the R&S EVSF1000 on an installation tray
WARNING! Risk of injury due to falling instrument. Be careful when mounting or
1.
unmounting the instrument in a rack. If the instrument falls down it can injure you.
Insert the installation tray into the flight inspection rack. Make sure it lies in the rack
straight and securely.
2. Fasten the tray in the rack by inserting 5 mm flattop screws from the top of the tray
through the rack. Fasten 3 screws through the perforations on the left, and 3
screws through one of the two rows on the right in Figure 3-1. Use only the indicated perforations for rack-mounting to ensure the mechanical strength of the tray.

Service adapter
If you need to operate a R&S EVSF1000 with the slide-in hardware outside an aircraft,
you can use the optional service adapter (R&S EVSF1-Z2) to connect a power supply
and any other signal input and output devices. The service adapter combines an
ARINC connector as described in Figure 3-4 with the common connectors provided on
the rear panel of a conventional R&S EVSF1000.

Getting Started
Operating Basics
The R&S EVSF1000 is designed for flight inspection and is thus optimized for remote
operation, via predefined commands. It does not have a graphical user interface for
manual interaction.
Nevertheless, the instrument can also be controlled manually, by simulating a user
interface on a remotely connected device, and using a connected keyboard. Basic
operation and status information is also available on a mini display directly on the
R&S EVSF1000.
In order to connect to the R&S EVSF1000 from a remote PC, you require connection
information, such as the IP address. It is also helpful to obtain the operating status of
the instrument before connecting to it. This basic information is displayed in the mini
display directly on the R&S EVSF1000.

3.4.2 Basic Connection Settings
In order to operate the R&S EVSF1000 from a remote PC, you require connection
information.
By default, the R&S EVSF1000 is set to use the dynamic host configuration protocol
(DHCP), so the IP address is assigned automatically. The assigned IP address and
DHCP state of the R&S EVSF1000 is provided in the mini display on the front panel.
Use this IP address for the initial connection from a remote PC to the R&S EVSF1000.
To change the settings, see Chapter 11.3, "Network (Remote) Settings", on page 171.

3.4.3.1 Understanding the Display Information
Getting Started
Operating Basics
You can operate the R&S EVSF1000 manually from a connected PC using a keyboard.
Using a VNC viewer application , you simply connect to the instrument, defined by its
IP address. The display of the R&S EVSF1000 is shown on the control PC. The keys
and other graphical user interface elements are operated using associated keyboard
shortcuts on the connected keyboard.
The following figure shows a typical screen display on the R&S EVSF1000. All different
screen elements are labeled. They are explained in more detail in the following sections.

Softkeys
Softkeys are virtual function keys whose actual function is defined by the software,
depending on the currently selected measurement mode or key, or both.

Operating Basics
In some cases, more functions are available than softkeys can be displayed at the
same time. In this case, a second menu of functions is available, indicated by "1/2" and
"2/2" beneath the softkeys in the display. To switch between the two menus of softkey
functions, press the "More softkeys" key beneath the softkeys on the front panel of the
R&S EVSF1000.
Softkeys can perform a function directly, or open a dialog or submenu with further settings and functions. Some softkeys are directly associated with an input field in the
measurement settings area of the window. If the softkey shows a vertical blue line at
the edge, you can edit the value of the corresponding setting directly in the measurement settings area of the window. If the blue line is not shown, the setting is read-only.
To toggle between the edit mode and read-only mode, select the softkey again.

You can control the R&S EVSF1000, including data transfer, remotely from a PC using
the LAN connection (Fast Ethernet).
See Chapter 3.4.2, "Basic Connection Settings", on page 23.
Remote control is performed using predefined remote commands which are sent from
the control PC to the R&S EVSF1000. The R&S EVSF1000 can also return queried
data to the control PC.
For details on the available remote commands, see Chapter 12, "Remote Commands",
on page 184.
While in remote control, the R&S EVSF1000 display indicates "Remote" in the status
bar. During remote control, the instrument is locked for manual operation via VNC. To

4 Measurements and Results
Measurements and Results
The R&S EVSF1000 provides both numerical and graphical results, depending on the
current measurement task.
Different measurement tasks are performed in individual measurement modes, some
of which are optional. The individual measurement modes are described in detail in the
subsequent chapters of this documentation.
If an optional second receiver board (R&S EVSG-B2) is installed, each receiver board
can be configured to perform different measurement tasks. Thus, you can perform two
different measurements on the same input signal simultaneously. You must then select
the receiver board whose results are displayed in the display settings (see "RX Unit 1 /
RX Unit 2" on page 170).
Figure 4-1: Measurement mode selection
Measurement modes with numerical results
The following measurement modes provide numerical results:
●
ILS LOC mode - determines localizer signal parameters
●
ILS GP mode - determines glidepath signal parameters
●
ILS MB mode - determines marker beacon signal parameters
●
VOR mode (R&S EVSG-K2) - determines modulation and signal parameters, as
well as voice identifier parameters
