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.
Page 6
Basic Safety Instructions
1171.0000.42 - 09 Page 4
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
rms
> 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.
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".
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)
Class A equipment:
Equipment suitable for use in all environments except residential environments and environments
that are directly connected to a low-voltage supply network that supplies residential buildings
Note: Class A equipment is intended for use in an industrial environment. This equipment may
cause radio disturbances in residential environments, due to possible conducted as well as
radiated disturbances. In this case, the operator may be required to take appropriate measures to
eliminate these disturbances.
Class B equipment:
Equipment suitable for use in residential environments and environments that are directly
connected to a low-voltage supply network that supplies residential buildings

The R&S UPP audio analyzer is available in three models. The 8-channel instrument R&S UPP 800, the 4-channel instrument R&S UPP 400 and the 2-channel
instrument R&S UPP 200. The instruments are offered without display, without
front panel controls and without CD/DVD drive. The three model variants are
identical with respect to functions except for the number of channels and are handled together in the description.
This chapter describes the controls and ports of the R&S audio analyzer UPP
based on the front and rear view and shows how to put the instrument into operation. It also describes the connection of peripherals such as printer, keyboard,
mouse and monitor. Specifications for the interfaces can be found in the data
sheet.

supress electromagnetic interference, it is recommended to use suitable shielded
CAT6 or CAT7 cables of high quality.
2.10.2 Configuration of R&S UPP for Network Operation
The network interface operates with 100-MHz Ethernet IEEE 802.3u. The TCP/IP
network protocol and the associated network services are preconfigured.
In order to exchange data in a local network (LAN), each connected computer or
instrument must have a unique IP address or a unique computer name. In addition, network access of the different users is organized by the assignment of
access rights.
The access rights determine which of the available network resources, e.g. file
storage systems, are available for the R&S UPP.
Networks with DHCP
The R&S UPP is preconfigured for networks using DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol). In these networks, the R&S UPP is automatically assigned an
unused IP address.

R&S®UPP
Connect R&S UPP to a Network (LAN)
In this case, a unique computer name is used for identification in the network.
Every R&S UPP is assigned an individual computer name at the factory. This
name can be queried in the Windows menu "Start - My Computer" and changed
(see Chapter 2.10.2.3, "Querying the computer name", on page 44).
Networks with fixed IP addresses
In networks using fixed IP addresses, the addresses are mostly assigned by the
network administrator. The fixed IP address must be entered in the Windows
menu "Start - Control Panel" (see Chapter 2.10.2.2, "Entering the IP Address",
on page 41).
Point-to-point connections
To set up a simple network – a LAN connection between an R&S UPP and a
computer without integration in a larger network – an IP address must be
assigned for the R&S UPP and the computer. The IP addresses 192.168.xxx.yyy
are available, whereby both xxx and yyy can have the values 1 to 254; the value
for the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Startup
In this case, a commercially available crossover RJ-45 cable must be used for the
connection. In order to supress electromagnetic interference, it is recommended
to use suitable shielded cables of high quality.
User ID
For the R&S UPP, the user instrument has been defined. The user is used for
the auto login when the instrument is started and for manual remote operation.
The password is also instrument. By assigning the respective rights, the network
administrator decides which directories and resources in the network can be
accessed by the R&S UPP.
2.10.2.1 Preparations
The instrument is configured for network operation in the menus of the Windows
operating system. The operating system can only be accessed if an external
monitor and an external keyboard are connected; connection of a mouse is recommended for easy operation. The instrument should be switched off before the
monitor, keyboard and mouse are connected. This will ensure that they are correctly detected by the operating system.

2.10.2.4 Accessing directories in the network
Access to network drives depends on access rights and whether the drives in
question have been enabled. The complete integration of R&S UPP in a larger
network with the required rights assignment is very complex and is generally performed by a network administrator.
Access from R&S UPP to the hard disk of a computer that is also connected to
the network can, however, be performed relatively easy. The directory which the
R&S UPP is to access simply has to be enabled on the remote computer. Access
from R&S UPP to this directory is done with the help of a Windows search function.
This procedure is also of importance for a point-to-point connection, for instance
in order to start a firmware update for which the files have been stored on the
hard disk of the remote computer.

Note: If a user name and password are requested when you click the computer, the login name and password used on the computer must be entered.
2.10.3 Configuration via LXI
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. This standard
provides a new way for configuring virtual front panel instruments by using a network and a Web interface. The main tool for this configuration method is a

browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, but it is also possible to use other
browsers such as Firefox or Netscape.
2.10.3.1 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:
Startup
●
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. LXI instruments of class C must 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 C. 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.
Instruments of classes A and B can generate and receive software triggers via
LAN messages and communicate with each other without involving the controller.
The R&S UPP meets the general requirements of LXI Class C. In addition to the
properties described above, the instrument offers the following LXI-related functions:
●
Integrated display of the current instrument settings
●
Possibility of remote controlling the instrument within the WEB browser.

2.10.3.2 LXI LAN Indicator
The green LAN LED on the front panel of the R&S UPP shows the LAN status of
the instrument. The LAN LED indicator has three states.
●
LAN LED off
– The instrument does not have valid IP address. This may be due to one of
the following reasons:
1) the instrument is configured with DHCP, but no DHCP router is connected,
2) the instrument is manually configured and an IP address conflict is present,
3) the instrument lost its IP address that was configured with DHCP and
switched to Auto IP.
This state is called "error state" and normally can be resolved by the LCI
mechanism (LAN reset). This mechanism is required by the LXI standard
and can be invoked with the "LAN RESET" button (key press > 10 s) on
the front side of the instrument (see Chapter 2.2, "Description of the Rear
Panel", on page 19).
Startup
●
LAN LED is on
– The instrument has a valid IP address and is reachable via TCP/IP.
●
LAN LED flashes
– The instrument is in the "Device Indicator" state initiated by the WEB inter-
face. This state is required by the standard and is used for finding instruments in racks (see Chapter 2.10.3.4, "LXI Browser Interface",
on page 49).
2.10.3.3 LXI Default State of Network Settings
After a LCI (LAN reset), the instrument automatically reboots and starts up with
following LAN settings:

Startup
http://www.lxistandard.org
or in the article about LXI in
"News from Rohde & Schwarz, 2006/II - 190".
2.10.3.4 LXI Browser Interface
The only information necessary for performing configuration via the LXI/Web
interface is the name of the instrument (which means its Windows name) in networks that operate with DHCP enabled, or its IP address in networks that operate
with manual network configuration. In rare cases where neither one of these
names is known, it is also possible to derive the IP address from the MAC
address, which is printed on the rear panel of the instrument.
The instrument's LXI browser interface works correctly with all W3C compliant
browsers.
To start the instrument home page (welcome page), open a browser on the PC
and enter the instrument name or the IP address of R&S UPP in the address
field, e.g.
http://RSUPP800-180108 or http://10.215.1.100.
The instrument name for the R&S UPP is always RSUPPvvv-xxxxxx, whereby
vvv represents the variant (200, 400 or 800 according to variants 02, 04 or 08),
and xxxxxx represents the six-digit serial number of the instrument.

Mask, Default Gateway and DNS Server configuration fields are only
enabled if DHCP is disabled. Consult the network administrator if it is necessary to modify these settings or any other settings.
Switching from DHCP enabled mode to manual configuration mode may
trigger an instrument restart when the new setting is confirmed (depends on
the configuration). If incorrect network configuration settings have been
entered, LAN RESET on the rear panel of the instrument must be used to
restore access to the Web interface.
●

– ICMP Ping must be enabled to use the ping utility.
●
VXI-11 Discovery
– Enables or prevents discovering the instrument via the VXI-11 Discovery
protocol, which is a protocol jointly developed by National Instruments and
VISA for searching for devices on a LAN.
VXI-11 is the protocol that is used for discovery of the instrument in the
LAN. According to the standard, LXI instruments must use VXI-11 to provide a discovery mechanism; other additional search methods are permitted.
2.10.3.7 Ping Client
Ping is a utility that verifies the connection between the LXI-compliant instrument
and another instrument. 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.
Startup
The ping utility is not password-protected.
To initiate a ping between the LXI-compliant instrument and a second connected
instrument:
1. "Activate ICMP Ping" on the "Advanced LAN Configuration" page (activated
after LCI).

R&S®UPP
Windows XP Recovery and Backup
●
At the beginning, just before the progress bar starts, the progress window displays the text "InstallShield is preparing InstallScript". Occasionally you then
see an error message and installation is canceled.
This problem can usually be solved by restarting Windows and carrying out
the firmware installation again.
●
After the installer has installed the firmware, i.e., the progress bar is completely filled, the progress window displays the text "Removing Backup Files",
"Registering Components" or "Publishing Product Information". Here, too, it
occasionally happens that an error message is followed by a second message, and the firmware is subsequently not installed.
This problem can sometimes be solved by restarting Windows and carrying
out the setup again. If the error occurs again, this can be for two reasons:
– Installation of the front panel driver went wrong. In this case, it must be
installed using the Windows wizard; the required INI file is named
C:\UPV\fpnl_wdm.inf. You should now reinstall the firmware.
Startup
– The installation of additional Windows settings went wrong. In this case,
execute the files C:\UPP\ScanFirmwareVersions.exe and
C:\UPP\SetReg.exe in succession. You should now reinstall the firmware.
If neither of these steps is successful, the instrument needs to go in for service (or the Windows image program must be reloaded).
2.12 Windows XP Recovery and Backup
The R&S UPP provides an invisible backup and recovery partition. A backup of
the factory system partition (C:\) is saved by default and can be restored in
case of a system crash.
In addition, backups of up to 5 firmware versions can be stored on this partition. It
is e.g. possible to backup the current system partition prior to a firmware update
or to provide different system configurations for different environments.
For the R&S UPP, the connection of an external keyboard is required.
The operation is described with respect to an external keyboard. It is recommended to connect a mouse that allows an intuitive operation!
During restore, the system partition (C:\) is deleted, formatted and rewritten.
The data partition (D:\) is not affected by this.

3 Getting Started
3.1 Introduction - Getting Started
This chapter describes the manual operation of the R&S UPP audio analyzer. The
information in this chapter also largely applies to the instrument designed primarily for use in systems provided that an external monitor, keyboard and mouse are
connected to the instrument. More detailed information on the operation via external keyboard and mouse are explained in the Chapter 4, "Manual Operation",
on page 114.
The R&S UPP audio analyzer is able to perform virtually all measurements occurring in the audio world, from frequency response measurements through distortion factor and spectral displays to the analysis of digital data streams. Several
measurement functions can be carried out and displayed at the same time,
whereby the measurements are performed perfectly simultaneously at all
switched-on channels.
The R&S UPP performs all measurements using digital signal processing. Here,
analog signals to be measured are first subjected to complex preprocessing on
analog measurement modules before they are digitalized and fed to the digital
measurement routines.
This concept offers numerous advantages, for example:
●
The measurement methods at the analog and digital interfaces are identical.
●
The measurement functions are available at both the analog and the digital
interfaces.
●
Operation at the analog and digital interfaces is the same.
The many available options mean that the R&S UPP can be adapted to perform a
wide variety of different tasks. The basic version of the instrument has analog
audio interfaces. A number of special measurement functions are also available,
but only after the appropriate options have been installed (see the data sheet for
details).
This chapter, "Getting Started", only describes the functions available in the basic
version of the R&S UPP audio analyzer.

3.2 Important Information for Measurements
3.2.1 Maximum Output Voltage of the R&S UPP Generator
Possible Damage or Destruction of Input Circuits
The generator of the audio analyzer can generate analog output voltages
with an RMS of up to 14 V. These levels can damage or even destroy sensitive input circuits.
There is an option in the "Generator Config" panel for limiting the analog
output voltage. For measurements on sensitive circuits, it is advisable to set
an appropriately low value in the "Max Voltage" field; this value then applies
to all analog output signals, irrespective of the signal shape.
The pulse level of the digital audio signals can be up to 8.5 V. Although the
risk of destruction is generally much smaller than for analog circuits, care
must still be taken when making settings for activating digital circuits.
3.2.2 Avoiding Hum Loops
It is generally known in audio engineering that analog circuits must always be set
up in such a way that hum signal pick-up is avoided. For this reason, it is important that a ground connection (grounding contact) be provided at only one point in
the entire circuit.
Generator:
Pin 1 is not connected at the XLR connector. Symmetric (Bal) and asymmetric
(Unbal) output are electronically floating (exception: Bal with switched-on output
divider!). The output can be placed on ground (grounding it) by connecting Pin 3
to the ground.
70Quick Start Guide 1411.1061.62 ─ 09
Page 87
R&S®UPP
Important Information for Measurements
Analyzer:
Starting with serial numbers 120100, 140100, 180100, Pin 1 is connected to
ground via a capacitor, thereby connecting the pin with instrument ground only in
relation to HF. This avoids formation of hum loops if the external connection connects pin 1 and 3 with each other.
To prevent any additional inadvertent ground connection being established via the
generator, it is designed as electronically floating (exception: balanced operation
with switched-on output divider). Pin 1 of the XLR connector is not connected. To
prevent establishing any additional inadvertent ground connection via the audio
analyzer when connecting the test setup with the analyzer inputs, Pin 1 of the
XLR cable must not be connected with ground of the test setup (applies only to
instruments with serial numbers lower than 1x0100, x = 2, 4, 8).
There are, however, some applications where the audio circuit to be tested is set
up without any ground connection at all. It may be necessary to create a defined
ground connection especially if hum pick-up is suspected. When connecting the
UPP analyzer with the test setup via a standard XLR cable, it is grounded via the
analyzer inputs if Pin 1 of the cable is connected with ground of the test setup.

3.2.3 Help System
The audio analyzer has a context-sensitive help system.
If you have a question while operating the instrument, pressing the [F1] key on
the external keyboard opens a help page containing information on the currently
highlighted parameter field.
From here it is possible to move to other help pages using the contents list, the
index, scroll arrows and page-internal links. For more detailed information about
help, see Chapter 4.14, "Help System", on page 193.

3.3 Brief Introduction to Operation
3.3.1 Windows User Interface and Controls
To provide the user with a familiar environment, operation of the R&S UPP is
largely based on the Windows user interfaces. All panels, entry windows, etc. are
made up of known elements.
Operation follows the same basic rules which apply to other Windows programs
in use today. It is assumed that the user is familiar with these basic rules. This
information is therefore not given in detail in this manual.
The panels, the menu bar, the buttons of the toolbar, and the softkeys (varying
functions depending on the application) of the R&S UPP can be operated manually, provided that an external monitor, keyboard and mouse are connected.
After being switched on, the instrument is in the same state as it was before it
was switched off. This applies to all setting parameters of the R&S UPP, including
those not currently displayed on the screen.
A selection frame and dark markings around the entry fields indicate the current
entry focus. Entries can be made in the element with entry focus.
3.3.2 The Display
The display is the central element for manually operating the R&S UPP. Both the
instrument settings in the various panels and the measurement results are displayed here.
To make the various functions of the R&S UPP audio analyzer easier to operate,
they are organized in a series of panels. The measurement results can be displayed as digital numeric values, data lists, in analog bar graphs or in result
graphics. The user can freely choose the number of panels and the number of
graphical windows to be shown in the display. The size of the windows can be
changed within broad limits, whereby the font size, scaling and so on are adapted
automatically (depending on the selected window).
Panels and display windows can be activated via the menu bar. The horizontal
menu bar opens if the mouse pointer is moved to the left edge of the R&S UPP
application. The toolbar opens when the mouse pointer is moved to the right
edge.

The softkey bar is always shown at the bottom edge of the window.
In normal operating mode, the softkey bar is visible; it contains eight buttons
which are assigned the functions available in the selection windows of the panels.
If there are more than 8 elements to choose from, the hidden elements in the
selection list can be displayed by pressing the last softkey containing the >> symbol or the first softkey containing the << symbol.

3.3.3 Panels and Display Windows
The R&S UPP audio analyzer distinguishes between the following panels and display windows:
●
Quickstart panel for quick launching of the most commonly used audio measurement tasks.
●
Panels used to perform function settings.
●
Configuration panels used for configuring how the measurement values are
to be displayed.
●
Numeric display fields for displaying the measurement values of the various
measurement functions.
●
Combo displays in which numeric measurement values can be supplemented by bar graphs and limit monitoring.
●
Graphical windows in which measurement values are displayed in the form
of diagrams.
●
Data lists in which the measurement values are listed in tabular form.
Panels are moved to the currently visible screen by moving the mouse pointer to
the left side of the screen to activate the menu bar, moving the mouse to "Instruments" or "DispConfig" and clicking the desired panel in the pulldown menu that
opens.
Display windows are selected in the same way, except that they are listed under
the "Displays" menu item.
The quickstart panel has a special role and can only be opened by clicking the
rocket icon in the toolbar.
Each panel and display window is a separate window which can be either closed,
opened or hidden. Panels/display windows are open if they are visible on the currently displayed screen; if the window is minimized and moved to the bottom edge
of the screen, it is referred to as hidden.
As soon as a panel/display window can be operated, it can be moved on the
screen and adjusted in size: Grab the panel at the title bar with the mouse and
move it. The size of the panels can be changed by grabbing the edges or corners
of the panels with the mouse and moving them.
The same panel / display window can be displayed in several screens at the
same time. The display characteristics can be different for each of the screens;
the content is, however, always the same.

3.3.4.1 Introduction
Owing to the large number of measurement functions and setting options, beginners can often find the R&S UPP audio analyzer difficult to operate.
The quickstart panel provides assistance – it allows the inexperienced user to
specify the outputs and inputs to which he wants to connect his "device under
test" and, in particular, which audio measurement task he wants to carry out. A
range of the most important audio measurement tasks are offered depending on
the selected outputs and inputs. With just a few mouse clicks, the audio analyzer
is automatically configured such that the desired measurement result appears on
the screen numerically, as a trace or as a bar graph. Some entry fields allow the
user to slightly modify the selected measurement function and adapt it to his own
particular needs.

Example: If the "Analog, balanced" output has been selected in the combo
box (6) for signal feed to the DUT, the measurement task "D/A Linearity" is not
available as this is intended only for a digital output.
Selection of a measurement task sets up the R&S UPP audio analyzer
accordingly without further action being required. With some measurement
tasks, the measurement must be started by clicking the "Start continuous
measurement" or "Start single measurement" button (13).
If a "Measurement Task" is selected in the quickstart panel, screens 1 to 4 display the settings as well as the numeric and/or graphical displays for the
selected measurement tasks.

3.3.6 Basic Rules of Operation
The following basic rules are intended to simplify operation of the audio analyzer:
●
Operating sequence in the panels from top to bottom
Changes to parameters of individual menu items may affect the selection or
value range of menu items which are usually located further down (they affect
the selection or value range in fields located higher up in only a few exceptional cases).
●
Sequence Generator – Analyzer – Measured value display
Many setting parameters can be copied to other panels. For example, the
sweep frequency settings can automatically be adopted as the scaling for the
graph.
3.3.7 Function Selection and Value Entry
All functions and parameters are set in the panels.
Besides the mouse, the up/down cursor keys of the external keyboard can also
be used for navigating.
Panels can only be operated if they have the focus (indicated by the blue title
