pack is installed and neither DC nor AC power is supplied, the R&S FPL1000
automatically switches to battery operation (during operation).
The R&S FPL1000 comes with the battery pack already installed if the battery
option was ordered together with the instrument. Otherwise, insert the battery
packs in the slots at the top of the rear panel.
For safety information, see "Handling batteries safely" on page 10.
Charging batteries
Charge the battery before using it for the first time. Following a long storage
period, it can be necessary to charge and discharge the battery several times to
reach full capacity.
For batteries from third parties, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer. For batteries manufactured by Rohde & Schwarz, observe the following:
●
For charging, use the R&S FPL1000. The battery pack is charged via the
common AC or DC power supply.
●
Charge in a temperature range from +0 °C to +45 °C. If the temperature is
above or below these values, or the temparature varies strongly, charging is
interrupted. If the battery temperature rises above +53 °C, charging is stopped.
●
Try not to overcharge the battery too often because overcharging reduces the
service life of the battery.
When the battery is being charged in standby mode, the [Power] LED
blinks. During operation, the status bar indicates that the battery is
being charged.

4.9 Connecting an External Monitor
You can connect an external monitor (or projector) to the "DVI" connector on the
rear panel of the R&S FPL1000 (see also Chapter 5.2.6, "DVI", on page 44).
Screen resolution and format
The touchscreen of the R&S FPL1000 is calibrated for a 16:10 format. If
you connect a monitor or projector using a different format (e.g. 4:3), the
calibration is not correct and the screen does not react to your touch actions
properly.
The touchscreen has a screen resolution of 1280x800 pixels. Most external
monitors have a higher screen resolution. If the screen resolution of the
monitor is set higher than the instrument's resolution, the application window uses an area of 1280x800 pixels on the monitor display. For full screen
display, adjust the monitor's screen resolution.

6. Close the dialog box.
The calibration signal is now sent to the RF input of the R&S FPL1000. By
default, a continuous frequency sweep is performed, so that the spectrum of
the calibration signal is now displayed in the standard level versus frequency
diagram.

6.2 Displaying a Spectrogram
In addition to the standard "level versus frequency" spectrum display, the
R&S FPL1000 also provides a spectrogram display of the measured data. A
spectrogram shows how the spectral density of a signal varies over time. The xaxis shows the frequency, the y-axis shows the time. A third dimension, the power
level, is indicated by different colors. Thus you can see how the strength of the
signal varies over time for different frequencies.

Icons in the channel bar
The yellow star icon on the tab label (sometimes referred to as a "dirty flag")
indicates that invalid or inconsistent data is displayed, that is: the trace no longer
matches the displayed instrument settings. This can happen, for example, when
you change the measurement bandwidth, but the displayed trace is still based on
the old bandwidth. As soon as a new measurement is performed or the display is
updated, the icon disappears.
The icon indicates that an error or warning is available for that channel setup.
This is particularly useful if the MultiView tab is displayed.
The icon indicates the currently active channel during an automatic measurement sequence (Sequencer functionality).
Channel-specific settings
Beneath the channel name, information on channel-specific settings for the measurement is displayed in the channel bar. Channel information varies depending
on the active application.
In the Spectrum application, the R&S FPL1000 shows the following settings:

7.2 Accessing the Functionality
All tasks necessary to operate the instrument can be performed using this user
interface. Apart from instrument specific keys, all other keys that correspond to an
external keyboard (e.g. arrow keys, ENTER key) operate as specified by Microsoft.
For most tasks, there are at least 2 alternative methods to perform them:
●
Using the touchscreen
●
Using other elements provided by the front panel, e.g. the keypad, rotary
knob, or arrow and position keys.
The measurement and instrument functions and settings can be accessed by
selecting one of the following elements:
●
System and function keys on the front panel of the instrument
●

Standard functions can be performed via the icons in the toolbar on the left side
of the screen.
You can hide the toolbar display, e.g. when using remote control, to enlarge
the display area for the measurement results ("Setup" > "Display" > "Displayed Items").
See the R&S FPL1000 User Manual.
7.2.2 Softkeys
Softkeys are virtual keys provided by the software. Thus, more functions can be
provided than those that can be accessed directly via the function keys on the
instrument. Softkeys are dynamic, i.e. depending on the selected function key, a
different list of softkeys is displayed on the right side of the screen.
A list of softkeys for a certain function key is also called a menu. Softkeys can
either perform a specific function or open a dialog box.
The "More" softkey indicates that the menu contains more softkeys than can be
displayed at once on the screen. When pressed, it displays the next set of softkeys.
