Connecting an External Monitor
Screen resolution and format
The touchscreen of the R&S FSMR3 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. Usually, the
display of the external monitor is a duplicate of the instrument's monitor.
If you configure the external monitor to be used as the only display in the
Windows configuration dialog box ("Show only on 2"), the maximum screen
resolution of the monitor is used. In this case, you can maximize the
R&S FSMR3 application window and see even more details. You cannot
change the monitor's screen resolution via the standard Windows configuration dialog box.
However, you can restore the default instrument resolution (1280x800) on
the monitor using the instrument function "Setup" > "Display" > "Configure
Monitor" > "Screen Resolution: Restore to default".
Preparing for Use
The R&S FSMR3 supports a minimum resolution of 1280x768 pixels.
1. Connect the external monitor to the R&S FSMR3.
2. Press the [Setup] key.
3. Press the "Display" softkey.
4. Select the "Configure Monitor" tab in the "Display" dialog box.
The standard Windows "Screen Resolution" dialog box is displayed.

4.10 Windows Operating System
The instrument contains the Windows 10 operating system which has been configured according to the instrument's features and needs. Changes in the system
setup are only required when peripherals like a keyboard or a printer are installed
or if the network configuration does not comply with the default settings. After the
R&S FSMR3 is started, the operating system boots and the instrument firmware
is started automatically.

Windows Operating System
Tested software
The drivers and programs used on the instrument under Windows 10 are adapted
to the instrument. Only install update software released by Rohde & Schwarz to
modify existing instrument software.
You can install additional software on the instrument; however, additional software can impair instrument function. Thus, run only programs that
Rohde & Schwarz has tested for compatibility with the instrument software.
The following program packages have been tested:
●
Symantec Endpoint Security – virus-protection software
●
FileShredder - for reliable deletion of files on the hard disk
Service packs and updates
Microsoft regularly creates security updates and other patches to protect Windows-based operating systems. These are released through the Microsoft Update
website and associated update server. Instruments using Windows, especially
those that connect to a network, should be updated regularly.
Preparing for Use
Firewall settings
A firewall protects an instrument by preventing unauthorized users from gaining
access to it through a network. Rohde & Schwarz highly recommends the use of
the firewall on your instrument. Rohde & Schwarz instruments are shipped with
the Windows firewall enabled and preconfigured in such a way that all ports and
connections for remote control are enabled.
Note that changing firewall settings requires administrator rights.
Virus protection
Take appropriate steps to protect your instruments from infection. Use strong firewall settings and scan any removable storage device used with a
Rohde & Schwarz instrument regularly. It is also recommended that you install
anti-virus software on the instrument. Rohde & Schwarz does NOT recommend
running anti-virus software in the background ("on-access" mode) on Windowsbased instruments, due to potentially degrading instrument performance. However, Rohde & Schwarz does recommend running it during non-critical hours.

chapter of the R&S FSMR3 user manual.
Preparing for Use
Logging On
All necessary system settings can be defined in the "Start > Settings" menu.
For required settings, refer to the Windows 10 documentation and to the hardware description.
4.11 Logging On
Windows 10 requires that users identify themselves by entering a user name and
password in a login window. By default, the R&S FSMR3 provides two user
accounts:
●
"Instrument": a standard user account with limited access
●
"Administrator": an administrator account with unrestricted access to the
computer/domain
Some administrative tasks require administrator rights (e.g. the configuration of a
LAN network). Refer to the description of the basic instrument Setup ([Setup]
menu) to find out which functions are affected.

Passwords
For all default user accounts, the initial password is 894129. Note that this password is very weak, and it is recommended that you change the password for both
users after initial login. An administrator can change the password in Windows 10
for any user at any time via "Start > Settings > Account > SignIn Options > Password > Change".
Auto-login
When shipped, the instrument automatically logs on the default "Instrument" user
to Windows 10 using the default password. This function is active until an administrator explicitly deactivates it or changes the password.
Changing the password and use of auto-login function
Note that when you change the default password, the default auto-login
function no longer works!
Preparing for Use
Logging On
In this case, you must enter the new password manually to log on.
Adapting the auto-login function to a new password
If you change the password that is used during auto-login, this function no longer
works. Adapt the settings for the auto-login function first.
1. Open the C:\R_S\INSTR\USER\user\AUTOLOGIN.REG file in any text editor (e.g. Notepad).
2. In the line "DefaultPassword"="894129", replace the default password
(894129) by the new password for automatic login.
3. Save the changes to the file.
4. In the Windows "Start" menu, select "Run".
The "Run" dialog box is displayed.
5. Enter the command C:\R_S\INSTR\USER\user\AUTOLOGIN.REG.
6. Press the [ENTER] key to confirm.
The auto-login function is reactivated with the changed password. It will be
applied the next time the instrument is switched on.

Considerations for Test Setup
Preparing for Use
4.13 Performing a Self-Alignment
When strong temperature changes occur in the environment of the R&S FSMR3,
or after updating the firmware, you have to perform a self-alignment to align the
data to a reference source.
During self-alignment, do not connect a signal to the RF input connector. Running
a self-alignment with a signal connected to the RF input can lead to false measurement results.
Performing a self-alignment
Before performing this functional test, make sure that the instrument has reached
its operating temperature (for details, refer to the data sheet).
A message in the status bar ("Instrument warming up...") indicates that the operating temperature has not yet been reached.
Depending on the installation settings, an automatic self-alignment is performed
each time the instrument is switched on. A dialog is displayed indicating how
much warm-up time is still required before self-alignment can be performed.
1. Press the [Setup] key.
2. Press the "Alignment" softkey.
3. Select the "Start Self Alignment" button in the "Alignment" dialog box.
Once the system correction values have been calculated successfully, a message is displayed.
To display the alignment results again later
●
Press the [SETUP] key.
●
Press the "Alignment" softkey.
4.14 Considerations for Test Setup
