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
●
"Admin" or "Administrator" (depends on firmware image): 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.
Secure user mode
If the secure user mode option (R&S FSMR3-K33) is installed, an additional account is
provided: the "SecureUser".
The "SecureUser" is a standard user account with limited functionality. In particular,
administrative tasks such as LAN configuration or general instrument settings are not
available. Furthermore, for a "SecureUser", data that the R&S FSMR3 normally stores
on the solid-state drive is redirected to volatile memory instead. You can access data
that is stored in volatile memory during the current instrument session. However, when
the instrument’s power is removed, all data in volatile memory is erased.
For details, see Chapter 9.2, "Protecting data using the secure user mode",
on page 237.
Passwords
For all default user accounts, the initial password is 894129. Note that this password is
very weak, and we strongly recommend 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".

Getting started
Preparing for use
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!
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. Select the "Windows" icon in the toolbar to access the operating system of the
R&S FSMR3 (see also "To access the "Start" menu" on page 20).
2. Open the C:\R_S\INSTR\USER\user\AUTOLOGIN.REG file in any text editor
(e.g. Notepad).
3. In the line "DefaultPassword"="894129", replace the default password
(894129) by the new password for automatic login.
4. Save the changes to the file.
5. In the Windows "Start" menu, select "Run".
The "Run" dialog box is displayed.
6. Enter the command C:\R_S\INSTR\USER\user\AUTOLOGIN.REG.
7. 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.
Switching users when using the auto-login function
Which user account is used is defined during login. If auto-login is active, the login window is not displayed. However, you can switch the user account to be used even when
the auto-login function is active.
1. Select the "Windows" icon in the toolbar to access the operating system of the
R&S FSMR3 (see also "To access the "Start" menu" on page 20).
2. Press [CTRL] + [ALT] + [DEL], then select "Sign out".
The "Login" dialog box is displayed, in which you can enter the different user
account name and password.
For information on deactivating and reactivating the auto-login function, see "Deactivat-
ing the auto-login function" on page 374.

4.2.12 Checking the supplied options
4.2.13 Performing a self-alignment
Getting started
Preparing for use
The instrument can be equipped with both hardware and firmware options. To check
whether the installed options correspond to the options indicated on the delivery note,
proceed as follows.
1. Press the [SETUP] key.
2. Press the "System Config" softkey.
3. Switch to the "Versions + Options" tab in the "System Configuration" dialog box.
A list with hardware and firmware information is displayed.
4. Check the availability of the hardware options as indicated in the delivery note.
When 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 alignment, 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 box 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.

Cable selection and electromagnetic interference (EMI)
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can affect the measurement results.
To suppress electromagnetic radiation during operation:
●
Use high-quality shielded cables, for example, double-shielded RF and LAN
cables.
●
Always terminate open cable ends.
●
Ensure that connected external devices comply with EMC regulations.
Signal input and output levels
Information on signal levels is provided in the data sheet and on the instrument, next to
the connector. Keep the signal levels within the specified ranges to avoid damage to
the R&S FSMR3 and connected devices.
