Basic Safety Instructions
Operating states and operating positions
The product may be operated only under the operating conditions and in the positions specified by the
manufacturer, without the product's ventilation being obstructed. If the manufacturer's specifications are
not observed, this can result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury or death. Applicable local
or national safety regulations and rules for the prevention of accidents must be observed in all work
performed.
1. Unless otherwise specified, the following requirements apply to Rohde & Schwarz products:
predefined operating position is always with the housing floor facing down, IP protection 2X, use only
indoors, max. operating altitude 2000 m above sea level, max. transport altitude 4500 m above sea
level. A tolerance of ±10 % shall apply to the nominal voltage and ±5 % to the nominal frequency,
overvoltage category 2, pollution degree 2.
2. Do not place the product on surfaces, vehicles, cabinets or tables that for reasons of weight or stability
are unsuitable for this purpose. Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions when
installing the product and fastening it to objects or structures (e.g. walls and shelves). An installation
that is not carried out as described in the product documentation could result in personal injury or
even death.
3. Do not place the product on heat-generating devices such as radiators or fan heaters. The ambient
temperature must not exceed the maximum temperature specified in the product documentation or in
the data sheet. Product overheating can cause electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury or
even death.
Electrical safety
If the information on electrical safety is not observed either at all or to the extent necessary, electric shock,
fire and/or serious personal injury or death may occur.
1. Prior to switching on the product, always ensure that the nominal voltage setting on the product
matches the nominal voltage of the mains-supply network. If a different voltage is to be set, the power
fuse of the product may have to be changed accordingly.
2. In the case of products of safety class I with movable power cord and connector, operation is
permitted only on sockets with a protective conductor contact and protective conductor.
3. Intentionally breaking the protective conductor either in the feed line or in the product itself is not
permitted. Doing so can result in the danger of an electric shock from the product. If extension cords
or connector strips are implemented, they must be checked on a regular basis to ensure that they are
safe to use.
4. If there is no power switch for disconnecting the product from the mains, or if the power switch is not
suitable for this purpose, use the plug of the connecting cable to disconnect the product from the
mains. In such cases, always ensure that the power plug is easily reachable and accessible at all
times. For example, if the power plug is the disconnecting device, the length of the connecting cable
must not exceed 3 m. Functional or electronic switches are not suitable for providing disconnection
from the AC supply network. If products without power switches are integrated into racks or systems,
the disconnecting device must be provided at the system level.
5. Never use the product if the power cable is damaged. Check the power cables on a regular basis to
ensure that they are in proper operating condition. By taking appropriate safety measures and
carefully laying the power cable, ensure that the cable cannot be damaged and that no one can be
hurt by, for example, tripping over the cable or suffering an electric shock.
1171.0000.42 - 09 Page 3
Page 6
Basic Safety Instructions
6. The product may be operated only from TN/TT supply networks fuse-protected with max. 16 A (higher
fuse only after consulting with the Rohde & Schwarz group of companies).
7. Do not insert the plug into sockets that are dusty or dirty. Insert the plug firmly and all the way into the
socket provided for this purpose. Otherwise, sparks that result in fire and/or injuries may occur.
8. Do not overload any sockets, extension cords or connector strips; doing so can cause fire or electric
shocks.
9. For measurements in circuits with voltages V
> 30 V, suitable measures (e.g. appropriate
rms
measuring equipment, fuse protection, current limiting, electrical separation, insulation) should be
taken to avoid any hazards.
10. Ensure that the connections with information technology equipment, e.g. PCs or other industrial
computers, comply with the IEC 60950-1 / EN 60950-1 or IEC 61010-1 / EN 61010-1 standards that
apply in each case.
11. Unless expressly permitted, never remove the cover or any part of the housing while the product is in
operation. Doing so will expose circuits and components and can lead to injuries, fire or damage to the
product.
12. If a product is to be permanently installed, the connection between the protective conductor terminal
on site and the product's protective conductor must be made first before any other connection is
made. The product may be installed and connected only by a licensed electrician.
13. For permanently installed equipment without built-in fuses, circuit breakers or similar protective
devices, the supply circuit must be fuse-protected in such a way that anyone who has access to the
product, as well as the product itself, is adequately protected from injury or damage.
14. Use suitable overvoltage protection to ensure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by a bolt of
lightning) can reach the product. Otherwise, the person operating the product will be exposed to the
danger of an electric shock.
15. Any object that is not designed to be placed in the openings of the housing must not be used for this
purpose. Doing so can cause short circuits inside the product and/or electric shocks, fire or injuries.
16. Unless specified otherwise, products are not liquid-proof (see also section "Operating states and
operating positions", item 1). Therefore, the equipment must be protected against penetration by
liquids. If the necessary precautions are not taken, the user may suffer electric shock or the product
itself may be damaged, which can also lead to personal injury.
17. Never use the product under conditions in which condensation has formed or can form in or on the
product, e.g. if the product has been moved from a cold to a warm environment. Penetration by water
increases the risk of electric shock.
18. Prior to cleaning the product, disconnect it completely from the power supply (e.g. AC supply network
or battery). Use a soft, non-linting cloth to clean the product. Never use chemical cleaning agents such
as alcohol, acetone or diluents for cellulose lacquers.
Operation
1. Operating the products requires special training and intense concentration. Make sure that persons
who use the products are physically, mentally and emotionally fit enough to do so; otherwise, injuries
or material damage may occur. It is the responsibility of the employer/operator to select suitable
personnel for operating the products.

Basic Safety Instructions
2. Before you move or transport the product, read and observe the section titled "Transport".
3. As with all industrially manufactured goods, the use of substances that induce an allergic reaction
(allergens) such as nickel cannot be generally excluded. If you develop an allergic reaction (such as a
skin rash, frequent sneezing, red eyes or respiratory difficulties) when using a Rohde & Schwarz
product, consult a physician immediately to determine the cause and to prevent health problems or
stress.
4. Before you start processing the product mechanically and/or thermally, or before you take it apart, be
sure to read and pay special attention to the section titled "Waste disposal/Environmental protection",
item 1.
5. Depending on the function, certain products such as RF radio equipment can produce an elevated
level of electromagnetic radiation. Considering that unborn babies require increased protection,
pregnant women must be protected by appropriate measures. Persons with pacemakers may also be
exposed to risks from electromagnetic radiation. The employer/operator must evaluate workplaces
where there is a special risk of exposure to radiation and, if necessary, take measures to avert the
potential danger.
6. Should a fire occur, the product may release hazardous substances (gases, fluids, etc.) that can
cause health problems. Therefore, suitable measures must be taken, e.g. protective masks and
protective clothing must be worn.
7. Laser products are given warning labels that are standardized according to their laser class. Lasers
can cause biological harm due to the properties of their radiation and due to their extremely
concentrated electromagnetic power. If a laser product (e.g. a CD/DVD drive) is integrated into a
Rohde & Schwarz product, absolutely no other settings or functions may be used as described in the
product documentation. The objective is to prevent personal injury (e.g. due to laser beams).
8. EMC classes (in line with EN 55011/CISPR 11, and analogously with EN 55022/CISPR 22,
EN 55032/CISPR 32)

makes working with the user interface easy.
8Quick Start Guide 1321.3066.02 ─ 06
Page 24
R&S® FSVA/FSV
New Features for R&S FSP Users
●
Markers and display lines can also be moved using the touchscreen. Furthermore, it provides an alternative way to change instrument settings, as function
fields like RBW or center frequency can be touched and the input field
appears.
●
There is a new key to open the Windows "Start" menu.
●
There is a new key to activate the on-screen keyboard, which allows easy
input of files names, for example, or other alphanumerical values. It also
works outside the analyzer firmware, for example to perform a printer installation under Windows.
●
The new UNDO/REDO keys allow you to undo or redo user inputs.
●
The new DISPLAY key opens a menu to configure features like enabling and
disabling of the touchscreen, the toolbar with icons or the soft or mini soft front
panel. You can also hide softkeys there.
●
The new MAXIMIZE/SPLIT and CHANGE FOCUS keys can be used to move
the blue focus frame in displays with diagrams and tables, to enlarge the view
of one of the diagrams or tables to fullsize.
Preface
●
The new HOME key returns to the first softkey menu of an application.
●
The new USER key allows you to configure user-defined softkeys for instrument settings.
●
The new PEAK SEARCH key carries out a marker peak search for the active
marker.
●
The new RUN SINGLE and RUN CONT keys control the sweep control without having to change the softkey menu.
●
The new MEAS CONFIG key directly opens the configuration menu if a measurement like ACLR was selected.
●
The FSP hotkeys to start firmware options were moved to the new FSV
MODE key, which opens a softkey menu with the applications.
●
The FSV-K9 "Power Sensor" softkey and the FSV-B10 external generator
control are in the menu of the new INPUT/OUTPUT key.
●
The new AUTO SET key allows for automatic level and frequency adjustment
routines. Although the routine is optimized for sinusoidal signals, the minimum
measurement time can also be set for bursted signals, for example.
●
For frequency sweep mode, the "Sweep type" can be configured in the
SWEEP or AUTO SET menu. In sweep type "Auto" mode, the analyzer
decides according to the settings like span, sweep time, RBW, etc. whether a
swept frequency sweep or an FFT sweep shall be carried out to ensure best
measurement speed.
9Quick Start Guide 1321.3066.02 ─ 06
Page 25
R&S® FSVA/FSV
New Features for R&S FSP Users
●
With the sweep type "Sweep", only swept frequency sweeps can be selected;
for the sweep type "FFT", only FFT sweeps can be selected. In the FSP, the
FFT mode was under the "Filter type" softkey. In the FSV, this setting is now
under "Sweep type".
●
The HELP key provides context sensitive online help including remote commands.
●
After entering an application once (like analog demodulation), a second tab is
opened in the upper part of the display. This allows easy switching between
applications simply by touching the tabs.
●
16 markers are supported and a marker table is available. If tables get too
large you can scroll using the touchscreen or maximize the table using the
CHANGE FOCUS and MAXIMIZE/SPLIT keys.
●
A wizard is available in the TRACE menu to easily set up all 6 traces at a
glance.
●
Dialog boxes and input fields are on the upper right side of the display to be
near the softkeys. They can be moved to any place on the screen and reappear there when re-opened.
Preface
●
An FSP-compatible mode can be selected. In this case, the FSV behaves as
an FSP (e.g. same number of sweep points, bandwidths like FSP, etc.) and
also identifies itself at the *IDN command as an FSP. Thus, FSP remote programs can be re-used.
●
Under "Setup > Display Setup" various themes for the color definition can be
found, including a "GrayStone" theme that makes the FSV look like it has FSP
softkeys.
●
USB connectors are available on the front.
●
The instrument account password has changed from the FSP to FSV. The
account password is no longer instrument but rather 894129. Thus, you can
easily retrieve local instrument control after Remote Desktop usage via the
instrument's number pad.
●
There is a link on the Windows Desktop and in the "Start" menu to access the
R&S user data. The link points to the standard directory of hardcopies and
save/recall files, so if the files are to be copied on a memory stick they can be
found easily.
●
The FSP cold boot feature with the decimal point no longer exists. Instead, the
shutdown and calibration files can be deleted via the link "Delete Shutdown
Files" in the "Start > All Programs" menu, if necessary.
●
The optional external mixer functionality has been improved to provide more
flexibility and conveniency, in particular:

4.5 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 keyboard or a printer are installed
or if the network configuration does not comply with the default settings. After the
R&S FSVA/FSV is started, the operating system boots and the instrument firmware is started automatically.
To ensure that the instrument software functions properly, certain rules must be
adhered to concerning the operating system.

Risk of rendering instrument unusable
The instrument is equipped with the Windows 10 operating system. 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 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.
The following program packages have been tested:
●
R&S Power Viewer Plus - virtual power meter for displaying results of the
power sensor R&S NRP-Zxx (install only this component!)
●
Symantec Endpoint Security – virus-protection software
●
FileShredder - for reliable deletion of files on the hard disk
4.5.1 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.
For details and recommendations, see the following Rohde & Schwarz white
paper:
●
1EF96: Malware Protection Windows 10
4.5.2 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.

4.5.3 Login
Windows 10 requires that users identify themselves by entering a user name and
password in a login window. By default, the R&S FSVA/FSV provides two user
accounts:
●
"Instrument": an administrator account with unrestricted access to the computer/domain
●
"NormalUser": a standard user account with limited access
Automatic login
For the administrator account, an automatic login function is active by default. If
activated, login is carried out automatically for the administrator (with full access)
in the background when the R&S FSVA/FSV is started, without having to enter a
password. This function is active until you explicitly deactivate it or change the
password.
For information on how to deactivate or reactivate the automatic login, refer to
Chapter 4.5.3.1, "Automatic Login Function", on page 59.
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.
You 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 60.

●
Sign key
The keypad is used to enter alphanumeric parameters. It contains
the following keys:
●
Alphanumeric keys
Enters numbers and (special) characters in edit dialog boxes.
For details refer to Chapter 6.3.1, "Entering Numeric Parame-
ters", on page 83 and Chapter 6.3.2, "Entering Alphanumeric
Parameters", on page 84.
●
Decimal point
Inserts a decimal point "." at the cursor position.
Changes the sign of a numeric parameter. In the case of an alphanumeric
parameter, inserts a "-" at the cursor position.
●
Unit keys (GHz/-dBm MHz/dBm, kHz/dB and Hz/dB)
These keys add the selected unit to the entered numeric value and complete
the entry.
In the case of level entries (e.g. in dB) or dimensionless values, all units have
the value "1" as mulitplying factor. Thus, they have the same function as an
ENTER key. The same is true for an alphanumeric entry.
●
ESC key
Closes all kinds of dialog boxes, if the edit mode is not active. Quits the edit
mode, if the edit mode is active. In dialog boxes that contain a "Cancel" button
it activates that button.
For "Edit" dialog boxes the following mechanism is used:
– If data entry has been started, it retains the original value and closes the
dialog box.
– If data entry has not been started or has been completed, it closes the dia-
log box.
●
BACKSPACE key
– If an alphanumeric entry has already been started, this key deletes the
character to the left of the cursor.

– If no input field is currently active, the most recently entered value is
undone, i.e. the previous value is retrieved. Thus, you can toggle between
two values (e.g. spans).
●
ENTER key
– Concludes the entry of dimensionless entries. The new value is accepted.
– With other entries, this key can be used instead of the "Hz/dB" unit key.
– In a dialog box, presses the default or focused button.
– In a dialog box, activates the edit mode for the focused area, if available.
For details on the edit mode refer to Chapter 6.3.3, "Navigating in Dialog
Boxes", on page 86.
– In a dialog box, activates or deactivates the selected option of the focused
area, if the edit mode is active.
6.2.5 Rotary Knob
6.2.6 Arrow Keys, UNDO/REDO Keys
The rotary knob has several functions:
●
Increments (clockwise direction) or decrements (counter-clockwise
direction) the instrument parameter at a defined step width in the
case of a numeric entry.
●
Shifts the selection bar within focused areas (e.g. lists), if the edit
mode is activated.
●
Shifts markers, limit lines, etc on the screen.
●
Acts like the ENTER key, when it is pressed. For details refer to
Chapter 6.3.3, "Navigating in Dialog Boxes", on page 86.
●
Moves the scroll bar vertically, if the scroll bar is focused and the
edit mode is activated.
For details on the edit mode refer to Chapter 6.3.3, "Navigating in Dia-
log Boxes", on page 86.
The arrow keys are used for navigation. The UNDO/REDO keys support you during input.

UPARROW/DNARROW keys
The UPARROW or DNARROW keys do the following:
●
In a numeric edit dialog box, increase or decrease the instrument parameter.
●
In a list, scroll forward and backward through the list entries.
●
In a table, move the selection bar vertically.
●
In windows or dialog boxes with vertical scroll bar, move the scroll bar.
LEFTARROW/RIGHTARROW keys
The LEFTARROW or RIGHTARROW keys do the following:
●
In an alphanumeric edit dialog box, move the cursor.
●
In a list, scroll forward and backward through the list entries.
●
In a table, move the selection bar horizontally.
●
In windows or dialog boxes with horizontal scroll bar, move the scroll bar.
UNDO/REDO keys
●
The UNDO key reverts the previously performed action, i.e. the status before
the previous action is retrieved.
The undo function is useful, for example, if you are performing a zero span
measurement with several markers and a limit line defined and accidentally
click the "ACP" softkey. In this case, very many settings would be lost. However, if you press UNDO immediately afterwards, the previous status is
retrieved, i.e. the zero span measurement and all settings.
●
The REDO key repeats the previously reverted action, i.e. the most recently
performed action is repeated.
The UNDO function is not available after a PRESET or "RECALL" operation. When these functions are used, the history of previous actions is
deleted.
6.2.7 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
device. 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

Means of User Interaction
(For details on function keys in general see Chapter 3.1.1, "Function Keys on the
Front Panel", on page 17.)
A list of softkeys for a certain function key is also called a menu. Each softkey can
either represent a specific function, or a submenu that in turn represents several
softkeys.
Selecting softkeys
► A particular softkey is selected by pressing the key on the screen with a fin-
ger, mouse pointer or other pointing device.
Softkeys can only be operated via the screen, there are (usually) no corresponding function keys.
Navigating in softkey menus
Basic Operations
●
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.
●
If the softkey label contains a ">" symbol, it represents a submenu of further
softkeys. When you press it, the submenu is displayed.
●
The "Up" key switches to the next higher level of the menu.
●
The start menu of the current measurement mode is accessed directly by
pressing the HOME key on the front panel.
Softkey actions
A softkey performs one of the following actions when pressed:
●
Opens a dialog box to enter data.
●
Switches a function on or off.
●
Opens a submenu (only softkeys with a ">" symbol).
Recognizing the softkey status by color
In the factory configuration, a softkey is highlighted orange when a corresponding
dialog box is open. If it is a toggle softkey, the current state is highlighted blue. If
an instrument function is not available temporarily due to a specific setting, the
associated softkey is deactivated and its text is colored gray.

Some softkeys belong to a certain (firmware) option. If this option is not implemented in your device, the associated softkeys are not displayed.
Hiding softkeys
You can hide the softkey display, e.g. when using remote control, in order to
enlarge the display area for the measurement results. When you press a function
key on the front panel, the softkeys are displayed temporarily, enabling you to
perform a certain task with the softkeys. They are then automatically hidden again
when they have not been used for a specified time. Any edit dialog boxes
required for entry remain in the display.
1. Press the DISPLAY key.
2. In the "Display Settings" dialog box, select "Softkey Bar State: Off".
The softkeys are no longer displayed.
► To display the softkeys again, select "Softkey Bar State: On".

6.2.8 Context-sensitive Menus
Markers and traces in the display, as well as the information in the channel bar,
have context-sensitive menus. If you right-click on a marker or trace in the display, or information in the channel bar (or touch it for about 1 second), a menu is
displayed which contains the same functions as the corresponding softkey. This
is useful, for example, when the softkey display is hidden (see Chapter 6.2.7,
"Softkeys", on page 79).

6.2.9 Dialog Boxes
In most cases, the R&S FSVA/FSV dialog boxes are designed to enter a numeric
value. In the documentation, these dialog boxes are called "edit dialog boxes".
Dialog boxes that are not only designed for parameter entry have a more complex
structure and, in the documentation, are called "dialog boxes". The navigation in
Windows dialog boxes differs in some aspects from the navigation in
R&S FSVA/FSV dialog boxes. For details, see Chapter 6.3.3, "Navigating in Dia-
log Boxes", on page 86.
The following figure shows an example of a edit dialog box:
