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:
●
R&S Power Viewer Plus - virtual power meter for displaying results of the
power sensor R&S NRPxx (install only this component!)
●
Symantec Endpoint Security – virus-protection software
●
FileShredder - for reliable deletion of files on the hard disk
4.2.1 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.

4.2.3 Login
Windows 10 requires that users identify themselves by entering a user name and
password in a login window. By default, the R&S FSV/A 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.

Secure user mode
If the secure user mode option (R&S FSV/A-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 FSV/A 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 4.7, "Protecting Data Using the Secure User
Mode", on page 35.
Automatic login
Preparing for Use
Windows Operating System
For the standard instrument account, an automatic login function is active by
default. If activated, login is carried out automatically in the background when the
R&S FSV/A is started, without having to enter a password. This function is active
until an administrator explicitly deactivates it or changes the password.
For information on how to deactivate or reactivate the automatic login, refer to
Chapter 4.2.3.1, "Automatic Login Function", on page 23.
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".
Changing the password and use of auto-login function
Note that when you change the default passwords, the default auto-login
function no longer works! Reactivate it manually as described in "Reactivat-
ing the automatic login function" on page 24.
