► Connect the R&S EVSG1000 to the LAN via the LAN interface on the rear panel of
the instrument.
By default, the instrument is configured to use dynamic TCP/IP configuration and
obtain all address information automatically. This means that it is safe to establish
a physical connection to the LAN without any previous instrument configuration.
The used IP address is indicated in the "Setup" menu on the R&S EVSG1000 display.

The TFT color display shows all measurement and configuration details.
1.5.1.3RX1 IN / RX2 IN
The RX input connectors are 50 Ω N connectors. Use the RX inputs to connect a
receiving antenna (max. +13 dBm) to the R&S EVSG1000 for RF signal input.
"RX2 In" is supplied as an option (R&S EVSG-B1).
This option allows you to perform two independent measurements simultaneously, for
example on different frequencies. This capability is vital in flight inspection systems
because localizer and glidepath signals must be measured at the same time. An additional application required in flight inspection systems is the parallel measurement of
two different VOR stations.
1.5.1.4USB
The front panel provides two female USB connectors (USB-A, 2.0 standard) to connect
a memory device.
The memory device is used to store and reload instrument settings, to provide software
updates and to export measurement data.

1.5.1.8Softkeys
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.
