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

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.

1171.0000.52 - 08 Page 4

Basic Safety Instructions

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.

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 Vrms > 30 V, suitable measures
(e.g. appropriate 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.

1171.0000.52 - 08 Page 5

Basic Safety Instructions

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.

2. Before you move or transport the product, read and observe the section titled
"Transport".

1171.0000.52 - 08 Page 6

Basic Safety Instructions

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)

New Features for R&S FSP Users

1.4 New Features for R&S FSP Users

The R&S FSVA/FSV introduces new features in R&S Signal and Spectrum Ana­lyzers. If you have used an R&S FSP before, you can find some useful informa­tion in the list below:

●

The touchscreen feature is used to control softkeys and dialog boxes. This
makes working with the user interface easy.

●

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.

●

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.

10Quick Start Guide 1321.3066.02 ─ 05

R&S® FSVA/FSV

New Features for R&S FSP Users

●

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.

●

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.

Preface

●

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.

●

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.

Preface

Notes for Users of R&S FSV 1307.9002Kxx Models

●

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:

– Mixer settings for each band are saved and maintained even after preset-

ting the instrument; they can be preset explicitly using the "Preset Band"
function

– If a second range (harmonic) is available, it can be activated and defined

freely, also for standard bands

– When using two ranges for a band, the handover frequency can be defined

freely within the overlapping frequency range, also for standard bands

– Additional traces are available for use when using the signal identification

functions Signal ID and Auto ID

– All available conversion loss tables are offered for selection; validity tests

are performed after selection

1.5 Notes for Users of R&S FSV 1307.9002Kxx Mod-

els

Windows Operating System

Risk of causing instrument unusability

The instrument is equipped with the Windows 7 operating system. Addi­tional software can therefore be installed on the instrument. The use and
installation of additional software may 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 7 have
been adapted to the instrument. Existing instrument software must always
be modified using only update software released by Rohde & Schwarz.

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

3.5.1 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 Windows-based
instruments, due to potentially degrading instrument performance. However, it
does recommend running it during non-critical hours.

For details and recommendations, see the Rohde & Schwarz White Paper

3.5.3 Login

Windows 7 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 re-activate the automatic login, refer to

Chapter 3.5.3.1, "The Automatic Login Function", on page 58.

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 7 for any user
at any time via "Start > Control Panel > User Accounts".

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! You must re-activate it manually as described in

"Re-activating the automatic login function" on page 59.

3.5.3.1 The Automatic Login Function

When shipped, the instrument is already configured to automatically log on to
Windows 7 using the default administrator account ("Instrument") and password.

R&S® FSVA/FSV

Preparing for Use

Setting Up a Network (LAN) Connection

assigned you the appropriate rights and adapted the Windows firewall configura­tion, you can use the interface, for example:

●

To transfer data between a controlling device and the test device, e.g. to run a
remote control program.
See chapter "Remote Control" in the R&S FSVA/FSV User Manual.

●

To access or control the measurement from a remote computer using the
"Remote Desktop" application (or a similar tool)

●

To connect external network devices (e.g. printers)

●

To transfer data from a remote computer and back, e.g. using network folders

This section describes how to configure the LAN interface. It includes the follow­ing topics:

●

Chapter 3.6.1, "Connecting the Instrument to the Network", on page 61

●

Chapter 3.6.2, "Assigning the IP Address", on page 62

Note that only user accounts with administrator rights can configure LAN net­works.

LXI

The R&S FSVA/FSV complies with LXI Class C. LXI gives you direct
access to the LAN settings described below.

For further information on the LXI interface, refer to the "LXI Configuration".

3.6.1 Connecting the Instrument to the Network

There are two methods to establish a LAN connection to the instrument:

●

A non-dedicated network (Ethernet) connection from the instrument to an
existing network made with an ordinary RJ-45 network cable. The instrument
is assigned an IP address and can coexist with a computer and with other
hosts on the same network.

●

A dedicated network connection (Point-to-point connection) between the
instrument and a single computer made with a (crossover) RJ-45 network
cable. The computer must be equipped with a network adapter and is directly
connected to the instrument. The use of hubs, switches, or gateways is not
required, however, data transfer is still performed using the TCP/IP protocol.

61Quick Start Guide 1321.3066.02 ─ 05

R&S® FSVA/FSV

Preparing for Use

Setting Up a Network (LAN) Connection

An IP address has to be assigned to the instrument and the computer, see

Chapter 3.6.2, "Assigning the IP Address", on page 62.

Note: As the R&S FSVA/FSV uses a 1 GBit LAN, a crossover cable is not
necessary (due to Auto-MDI(X) functionality).

Risk of network failure

Before connecting the instrument to the network or configuring the network,
consult your network administrator. Errors may affect the entire network.

► To establish a non-dedicated network connection, connect a commercial

RJ-45 cable to one of the LAN ports.
To establish a dedicated connection, connect a (crossover) RJ-45 cable
between the instrument and a single PC.

If the instrument is connected to the LAN, Windows automatically detects the net­work connection and activates the required drivers.

The network card can be operated with a 1 GBit Ethernet IEEE 802.3u interface.

3.6.2 Assigning the IP Address

Depending on the network capacities, the TCP/IP address information for the
instrument can be obtained in different ways.

●

If the network supports dynamic TCP/IP configuration using the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), all address information can be assigned auto­matically.

●

If the network does not support DHCP, or if the instrument is set to use alter­nate TCP/IP configuration, the addresses must be set manually.

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.

R&S® FSVA/FSV

Setting Up a Network (LAN) Connection

Risk of network errors

Connection errors can affect the entire network. If your network does not
support DHCP, or if you choose to disable dynamic TCP/IP configuration,
you must assign valid address information before connecting the instrument
to the LAN. Contact your network administrator to obtain a valid IP address.

Assigning the IP address on the instrument

1. Press the SETUP key.

2. Press the "General Setup" softkey.

3. Press the "Network Address" softkey.
The submenu is displayed.

Preparing for Use

4. Toggle the "DHCP On/Off" softkey to the required mode.
If DHCP is "Off", you must enter the IP address manually, as described in the
following steps.
Note: When DHCP is changed from "On" to "Off", the previously set IP
address and subnet mask are retrieved.
If DHCP is "On", the IP address of the DHCP server is obtained automatically.
The configuration is saved, and you are prompted to restart the instrument.
You can skip the remaining steps.
Note: When a DHCP server is used, a new IP address may be assigned each
time the instrument is restarted. This address must first be determined on the
instrument itself. Thus, when using a DHCP server, it is recommended that
you use the permanent computer name, which determines the address via the
DNS server (see "Using a DNS server to determine the IP address"
on page 64 and Chapter 3.6.3, "Using Computer Names", on page 66).

5. Press the "IP Address" softkey and enter the IP address, for example

192.0.2.0. The IP address consists of four number blocks separated by dots.
Every block contains 3 numbers in maximum.

6. Press the "Subnet Mask" softkey and enter the subnet mask, for example

255.255.255.0. The subnet mask consists of four number blocks separated by
dots. Every block contains 3 numbers in maximum.

If you have entered an invalid IP address or subnet mask, the message "out of
range" is displayed in the status line. The "Edit" dialog box remains open, and
you can start again. If the settings are correct, the configuration is saved, and
you are prompted to restart the instrument.

7. Confirm the displayed message ("Yes" button) to restart the instrument.

Using a DNS server to determine the IP address

In a LAN that uses a DNS server (Domain Name System server), each PC or
instrument connected in the LAN can be accessed via an unambiguous computer
name instead of the IP address. The DNS server translates the host name to the
IP address. This is especially useful when a DHCP server is used, as a new IP
address may be assigned each time the instrument is restarted.

Each instrument is delivered with an assigned computer name, but this name can
be changed.

Preparing for Use

1. Obtain the name of your DNS domain and the IP addresses of the DNS and
WINS servers on your network.

2. Press the "Windows" key on the external keyboard or the CTRL + ESC key
combination on your keyboard to access the operating system.

3.6.3 Using Computer Names

In a LAN that uses a DNS server (Domain Name System server), each PC or
instrument connected in the LAN can be accessed via an unambiguous computer
name instead of the IP address. The DNS server translates the host name to the
IP address. This is especially useful when a DHCP server is used, as a new IP
address may be assigned each time the instrument is restarted.

Each instrument is delivered with an assigned computer name, but this name can
be changed.

The default instrument name is a non-case-sensitive string with the following syn­tax:

<Type><variant>-<serial_number>

2. Enter the new computer name and confirm the entry.

3.6.4 Changing the Windows 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.

For details and recommendations, see the Rohde & Schwarz White Paper

1EF96: Malware Protection Windows 10

Note that changing firewall settings requires administrator rights.

3.7 LXI Configuration

LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation (LXI) is an instrumentation platform for mea­suring instruments and test systems that is based on standard Ethernet technol­ogy. LXI is intended to be the LAN-based successor to GPIB, combining the
advantages of Ethernet with the simplicity and familiarity of GPIB.

LXI Classes and LXI functionality

LXI-compliant instruments are divided into three classes, A, B and C, with the
functionality of the classes hierarchically based one upon the other:

Preparing for Use

LXI Configuration

●

Class C instruments are characterized by a common LAN implementation,
including an ICMP ping responder for diagnostics. The instruments can be
configured via a web browser; a LAN Configuration Initialize (LCI) mechanism
resets the LAN configuration. The LXI Class C instruments shall also support
automatic detection in a LAN via the VXI-11 discovery protocol and program­ming by means of IVI drivers.

●

Class B adds IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and peer-to-peer
communication to the base class. IEEE 1588 allows all instruments on the
same network to automatically synchronize to the most accurate clock availa­ble and then provide time stamps or time-based synchronization signals to all
instruments with exceptional accuracy.

●

Class A instruments are additionally equipped with the eight-channel hard­ware trigger bus (LVDS interface) defined in the LXI standard.

For information about the LXI standard refer to the LXI website at http://

www.lxistandard.org. See also the article at the Rohde&Schwarz website:

"VXI-11" is the protocol that is used to detect the instrument in the LAN.
According to the standard, LXI devices must use VXI-11 to provide a detection
mechanism; other additional detection mechanisms are permitted.

3.7.3.2 Ping

The instrument includes a ping server and a ping client. The ping client can be
used to verify the connection between instrument and another device. The ping
command uses the ICMP echo request and echo reply packets to determine
whether the LAN connection is functional. Ping is useful for diagnosing IP network
or router failures. The ping utility is not password-protected.

To initiate a ping between the LXI-compliant instrument and a second connected
device:

1. Enable "ICMP Ping" on the "Advanced LAN Configuration" page (enabled
after an LCI).
