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 - 08 Page 3

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.

1171.0000.42 - 08 Page 4

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)

Funcionamiento

1. El uso del producto requiere instrucciones especiales y una alta concentración durante el manejo.
Debe asegurarse que las personas que manejen el producto estén a la altura de los requerimientos
necesarios en cuanto a aptitudes físicas, psíquicas y emocionales, ya que de otra manera no se
pueden excluir lesiones o daños de objetos. El empresario u operador es responsable de seleccionar
el personal usuario apto para el manejo del producto.

2. Antes de desplazar o transportar el producto, lea y tenga en cuenta el capítulo "Transporte".

3. Como con todo producto de fabricación industrial no puede quedar excluida en general la posibilidad
de que se produzcan alergias provocadas por algunos materiales empleados ―los llamados
alérgenos (p. ej. el níquel)―. Si durante el manejo de productos Rohde & Schwarz se producen
reacciones alérgicas, como p. ej. irritaciones cutáneas, estornudos continuos, enrojecimiento de la
conjuntiva o dificultades respiratorias, debe avisarse inmediatamente a un médico para investigar las
causas y evitar cualquier molestia o daño a la salud.

4. Antes de la manipulación mecánica y/o térmica o el desmontaje del producto, debe tenerse en cuenta
imprescindiblemente el capítulo "Eliminación/protección del medio ambiente", punto 1.

5. Ciertos productos, como p. ej. las instalaciones de radiocomunicación RF, pueden a causa de su
función natural, emitir una radiación electromagnética aumentada. Deben tomarse todas las medidas
necesarias para la protección de las mujeres embarazadas. También las personas con marcapasos
pueden correr peligro a causa de la radiación electromagnética. El empresario/operador tiene la
obligación de evaluar y señalizar las áreas de trabajo en las que exista un riesgo elevado de
exposición a radiaciones.

6. Tenga en cuenta que en caso de incendio pueden desprenderse del producto sustancias tóxicas
(gases, líquidos etc.) que pueden generar daños a la salud. Por eso, en caso de incendio deben
usarse medidas adecuadas, como p. ej. máscaras antigás e indumentaria de protección.

7. Los productos con láser están provistos de indicaciones de advertencia normalizadas en función de la
clase de láser del que se trate. Los rayos láser pueden provocar daños de tipo biológico a causa de
las propiedades de su radiación y debido a su concentración extrema de potencia electromagnética.
En caso de que un producto Rohde & Schwarz contenga un producto láser (p. ej. un lector de
CD/DVD), no debe usarse ninguna otra configuración o función aparte de las descritas en la
documentación del producto, a fin de evitar lesiones (p. ej. debidas a irradiación láser).

8. Clases de compatibilidad electromagnética (conforme a EN 55011 / CISPR 11; y en analogía con EN
55022 / CISPR 22, EN 55032 / CISPR 32)
 Aparato de clase A:

Aparato adecuado para su uso en todos los entornos excepto en los residenciales y en aquellos
conectados directamente a una red de distribución de baja tensión que suministra corriente a
edificios residenciales.
Nota: Los aparatos de clase A están destinados al uso en entornos industriales. Estos aparatos
pueden causar perturbaciones radioeléctricas en entornos residenciales debido a posibles
perturbaciones guiadas o radiadas. En este caso, se le podrá solicitar al operador que tome las
medidas adecuadas para eliminar estas perturbaciones.

 Aparato de clase B:

Aparato adecuado para su uso en entornos residenciales, así como en aquellos conectados
directamente a una red de distribución de baja tensión que suministra corriente a edificios
residenciales.

Instrucciones de seguridad elementales

Reparación y mantenimiento

1. El producto solamente debe ser abierto por personal especializado con autorización para ello. Antes
de manipular el producto o abrirlo, es obligatorio desconectarlo de la tensión de alimentación, para
evitar toda posibilidad de choque eléctrico.

2. El ajuste, el cambio de partes, el mantenimiento y la reparación deberán ser efectuadas solamente
por electricistas autorizados por Rohde & Schwarz. Si se reponen partes con importancia para los
aspectos de seguridad (p. ej. el enchufe, los transformadores o los fusibles), solamente podrán ser
sustituidos por partes originales. Después de cada cambio de partes relevantes para la seguridad
deberá realizarse un control de seguridad (control a primera vista, control del conductor de
protección, medición de resistencia de aislamiento, medición de la corriente de fuga, control de
funcionamiento). Con esto queda garantizada la seguridad del producto.

Baterías y acumuladores o celdas

Si no se siguen (o se siguen de modo insuficiente) las indicaciones en cuanto a las baterías y
acumuladores o celdas, pueden producirse explosiones, incendios y/o lesiones graves con posible
consecuencia de muerte. El manejo de baterías y acumuladores con electrolitos alcalinos (p. ej. celdas de

productos de manera segura a los medios de transporte o elevación. Para evitar daños personales o
daños en el producto, siga las instrucciones de seguridad del fabricante del medio de transporte o
elevación utilizado.

3. Si se utiliza el producto dentro de un vehículo, recae de manera exclusiva en el conductor la
responsabilidad de conducir el vehículo de manera segura y adecuada. El fabricante no asumirá
ninguna responsabilidad por accidentes o colisiones. No utilice nunca el producto dentro de un
vehículo en movimiento si esto pudiera distraer al conductor. Asegure el producto dentro del vehículo
debidamente para evitar, en caso de un accidente, lesiones u otra clase de daños.

Eliminación/protección del medio ambiente

1. Los dispositivos marcados contienen una batería o un acumulador que no se debe desechar con los
residuos domésticos sin clasificar, sino que debe ser recogido por separado. La eliminación se debe
efectuar exclusivamente a través de un punto de recogida apropiado o del servicio de atención al
cliente de Rohde & Schwarz.

2. Los dispositivos eléctricos usados no se deben desechar con los residuos domésticos sin clasificar,
sino que deben ser recogidos por separado.
Rohde & Schwarz GmbH & Co.KG ha elaborado un concepto de eliminación de residuos y asume
plenamente los deberes de recogida y eliminación para los fabricantes dentro de la UE. Para
desechar el producto de manera respetuosa con el medio ambiente, diríjase a su servicio de atención
al cliente de Rohde & Schwarz.

3. Si se trabaja de manera mecánica y/o térmica cualquier producto o componente más allá del

Description of Front View

2 Startup

The R&S UPV audio analyzer is available in two models. The R&S UPV standard
model and an R&S UPV66 model which is specifically designed for use in systems and
has no display, no front panel controls and no CD/DVD drive. Except for the operation
via front panel, the R&S UPV66 variant is largely identical to the standard model with
respect to functionality. This manual therefore describes both instruments in parallel,
and any differences are indicated at the appropriate points in the text.

This chapter describes the controls and ports of the R&S audio analyzer UPV 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.

The introduction to chapter 3.1, "Introduction - Getting Started", on page 79 provides
an overview of the functions and the operating concept of the audio analyzer. Detailed
operating instructions and an overview of the menus are provided in chapter 4.1, "Intro-

duction - Manual Operation", on page 121.

Startup

The CD-ROM contains the entire manual complete with the other chapters in printable
PDF format: The individual menus and functions of the instrument including the associ­ated remote-control commands are explained in detail in the reference section of chap­ter "Device Functions." Basic information on remote control of the instrument is provi­ded in the chapters "Remote Control - Fundamentals" and "Remote Control - Com­mands". A detailed description of the instrument interfaces can be found in the chapter
"Maintenance and Interfaces".

The audio analyzer has the Windows XP® operating system. No special knowledge of
the operating system used is required for operating the instrument.

Basic PC knowledge, such as what a file, a directory, etc. is, or how data is transferred
using Windows Explorer® is assumed and, therefore, not discussed in any detail.

The R&S UPV audio analyzer can be fully operated via the controls on the front panel.
It is, however, also possible to operate the instrument using an external keyboard and
mouse. Operation follows the same basic rules which apply to other Windows pro­grams in use today. It is also assumed that users are familiar with these basic rules.
This information is therefore not specified in detail here.

The R&S UPV66 model does not feature a front panel keyboard and has no display or
CD/DVD drive; but similar to the R&S UPV standard model, it can be operated by
means of a keyboard or mouse after an external monitor is connected.

●

In normal operating mode, the softkey bar is visible; it contains the functions availa­ble in the selection windows of the panels; the softkeys permit rapid selection with­out needing to use the mouse.

●

When the WINBAR key is pressed, the WINBAR containing the names of all
opened panels / graphical windows is displayed in place of the softkey bar. Press­ing the associated softkey puts the focus on the corresponding panel / graphical
window, i.e. it becomes active. At the same time, the system returns to normal
operating mode (see above).

2.3.2.1 Separate installation

The R&S UPV can be set up on a level surface in horizontal position and with unfolded
instrument feet.

Risk of injury with unfolded instrument feet

The instrument feet can suddenly fold back if the instrument is being moved or the feet
are not completely folded out. This can lead to personal injuries or damage to the
instrument.

Instrument stability, and thus safe operation, is only ensured when the instrument's feet
are completely folded out. Do not move the instrument and avoid performing work
under it when the feet are folded out. Secure the instruments from slipping (e.g. by
locking the instrument feet to the top of the front-panel frame).

If excessive loads are applied, the feet might break. The uniformly applied load to the
feet when folded out must not exceed 500 N (including the weight of the instrument
itself along with any equipment set on top of it).

2.3.2.2 Rack installation

A rack adapter (refer to data sheet for Order No.) is required for installation in a 19"
rack. The mounting instructions are supplied with the adapter.

Possible damage to the instrument from overheating

Restricted airflow at the side wall openings can cause the instrument to overheat.

To ensure sufficient air supply, all fan openings must be clear and the airflow at the
openings of the side walls must not be impeded. The distance to the wall must be at
least 10 cm.

2.3.3 Connecting the R&S UPV to the AC Supply

Possible damage to the instrument

Before connecting and switching on the instrument, observe the following items to
avoid any damage to the instrument:

●

The tube for the housing has to be attached and screwed in place.

●

The ventilation openings must be clear; ensure that air can freely exit at the holes
on the sides. The minimum distance to the wall should therefore be at least 10 cm.

●

The instrument must be dry.

●

The instrument should only be operated in the horizontal position on an even sur­face.

●

The ambient temperature must not exceed the range specified in the data sheet.

●

It must be ensured that none of the voltage levels at the inputs exceed permissible
limits.

●

The instrument complies with measuring category I; the input voltage at the con­nectors of the analog analyzers should not exceed 110 V (effective, sinusoidal) and
160 V (peak value). Do not use the instrument in measuring categories II, III and
IV.
Explanation:
Measuring circuits as defined in section 6.7.4 of EN61010-1
Measuring category I is intended for measurements on circuits which are not con­nected to the high-voltage current system.

●

The outputs of the instrument should not be overloaded and correct polarity must
be ensured.

The AC supply connector socket is at the rear of the instrument. The instrument can be
set up for connection to AC supply systems of 100 V, 120 V, 220 V and 230 V and can
be operated with ±10 % tolerance and an AC supply frequency of 47 Hz to 63 Hz. The

2.3.3.1 Setting the Supply Voltage

Possible damage to the instrument from incorrect AC supply voltage

An incorrect AC supply voltage setting can lead to damages to the instrument when the
instrument is connected to the AC supply.

For this reason, check whether the correct AC supply voltage is set before switching on
the instrument for the first time.

The AC supply voltage can be changed as follows:

1. Disconnect the power cable.

2. Open the flap covering the voltage selector using a small screwdriver (or similar).

3. Remove the cylinder labeled with the nominal voltages and reinsert it so that the
value visible through the hole in the cover flap when refitted corresponds to the
desired nominal voltage. If the desired voltage is not printed on the cylinder, select
the nearest suitable value according to the table above.

4. Close the flap.

The R&S audio analyzer UPV is operated with the same AC fuses for all specified
rated AC supply voltages. The precise designation of the fuses is indicated on the rear
of the instrument.

2.3.3.2 Switching on the Instrument

1. Connect the audio analyzer to the AC supply by means of the supplied power
cable.

2.3.3.3 Start Screen and Booting of the R&S UPV

After the instrument is turned on, the BIOS version that is installed and the computer
characteristics are displayed on the screen for several seconds.

Afterwards, the Windows operating system boots first followed by the instrument firm­ware. A self-test is carried out while instrument firmware is booted. The most recent
instrument settings saved automatically at power-off are then loaded so that the instru­ment is in the same state as it was before power-off. After booting is completed, the
audio analyzer screen is displayed and the instrument can be operated manually or via
remote control.

2.3.3.4 Restarting the R&S UPV

If the R&S UPV firmware was closed without shutting down the operating system (e.g.
by clicking on the icon in the title bar or ALT F4 on the keyboard), the program can

be restarted with the mouse in two ways:

●

Clicking on the "R&S UPV" icon on the desktop

●

Clicking on the Start button in the taskbar, and then selecting the folders "All Pro­grams, Rohde & Schwarz, UPV" and clicking on the "R&S UPV" icon

If the software should crash unexpectedly and the instrument is operated via the front

2.6 Windows Operating System

Possible malfunction of the instrument function due to external software

The instrument operates under the Windows operating system. This allows external
software programs to be installed on the instrument. The use and installation of com­mercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software may impair the instrument's functionality.

For this reason, we recommend that you only execute programs tested by
Rohde & Schwarz with regard to their compatibility with the instrument software. In cer­tain cases, the use of these programs may also impair the performance of the instru­ment.

The drivers and programs used in the instrument under Windows have been adapted
to the measuring instrument. Existing instrument software must only be modified with
update software released by Rohde & Schwarz.

Only the settings described below may be performed.

In its delivery state, the configuration of Windows is optimized to the functions of the
audio analyzer. Changes in the system setup are only required when peripherals like a
keyboard or printer are installed or in the event that the network configuration does not
correspond to the default settings (see sections below). After switching on the audio
analyzer, the operating system boots and the instrument firmware is started automati­cally without a password prompt (auto login).

Auto login is performed with the user name and the password "instrument". The stand­ard user has administrator rights so that printer and network installations are possible.

The operating system can only be accessed if an external keyboard is connected. The
Windows key on the external keyboard (next to the STRG key) opens the Windows
start menu; the Windows programs can then be called from this menu. Connecting a
mouse makes Windows easier to use. The system settings under Windows are
entered in the menu "Start – Control Panel" (see the description of Windows and the
hardware for information on the necessary settings). The R&S UPV does not feature a
diskette drive. Data is exchanged using a USB stick which is inserted into one of the
USB interfaces. The USB stick is automatically assigned a free drive letter and the
data can be transferred in Windows Explorer.

Devices with FMR9

Special features with the FMR9:

The Windows XP operating system used is only able to support a maximum of two
monitors simultaneously. One of the two monitors is the internal LC display, which
means that only one external monitor can be controlled even if the R&S UPV with
FMR9 has an analog VGA and a digital DVI port. The default setting assumes that the
internal monitor and one external analog VGA monitor will be used. The connected
external monitor determines the behavior during the boot procedure depending on the
selected setting under Windows: If an external analog VGA monitor is connected and
"Notebook + Monitor" has been selected under Windows, both screens will show the
same content during the boot procedure and when Windows is running. If a digital DVI
monitor is connected, the internal display will remain dark during the boot procedure
until Windows becomes active, regardless of its Windows setting. Only after this will
both displays show the same content in parallel if "Notebook + Digital Display" was
selected under Windows. Otherwise only the internal display becomes active under
Windows.

Internal Display Not Activated

The graphics driver of the FMR7 and FMR9 computer modules in the R&S UPV saves
the screen configuration that was last selected and detects whether an external moni­tor is connected.

If the R&S UPV was previously operated only with an external monitor and was
switched off in that state, the internal display will remain deactivated the next time the
R&S UPV is switched on if no external monitor is connected.

Since no external monitor is detected in this case when the instrument is switched on,
the monitor output will remain deactivated even if a monitor is connected at a later
time.

An external keyboard is required to reactivate the screen display:

You can switch to the external monitor by using the key combination CTRL + ALT + F1
on an external keyboard.

Before March 2008: You can switch on the internal display by using the key combina­tion CTRL + ALT + F4 on an external keyboard.

Since March 2008, the R&S UPV has been shipped with a new LCD that can be
switched on using the shortcut CTRL + ALT + F3.

A special feature of the R&S UPV66 is that it has no internal display. It is therefore
possible to control an analog VGA and a digital DVI monitor simultaneously. The fol­lowing settings must be performed to enable this:

Using the shortcut CTRL + ALT + F1 on an external keyboard switches on the external
VGA monitor; the shortcut CTRL + ALT + F4 switches on the external DVI monitor if it
is to be activated subsequently.

2.8.2 Changing Screen Resolution of External Monitor under Windows 7

The R&S UPV audio analyzer has a built‑in computer. Up to February 2007, the instru­ments were supplied with a computer bearing the internal Rohde & Schwarz designa­tion FMR6, from March 2007 with FMR7, from March 2012 with FMR9 and from Febru-

ary 2015 with FMR11. Instruments with FMR6 do not support Windows 7; see the pre­vious chapter. The procedure for setting the screen resolution when using an external
monitor is the same for the different computer models and is described below.

The default factory setting supports clone mode of the internal and, if connected, exter­nal VGA screen and means that both screens show the same picture. In this mode, the
screen resolution cannot be changed and remains fixed at the resolution of the internal
screen, i.e. 800 x 600 pixels. Instruments with FMR9 support an external monitor with
analog interface at the MONITOR port or with digital interface at the DVI‑D port on the
rear of the instrument. Switchover takes place automatically after the instrument is
switched off/on. Instruments with FMR11 also support these two monitor interfaces;
however, a setting in the BIOS must be made for connection of a digital monitor to the
DVI interface. The VGA output is then deactivated. The setting in the BIOS is made as
follows:

Switching over instruments with FMR11 to external digital monitor

1. Switch off R&S UPV.

2. Connect the external monitor, keyboard and mouse.

3. Switch on R&S UPV.

4. Immediately after switching on, press the Del key repeatedly at short intervals until

the BIOS screen appears.

5. In the horizontal menu bar, select "Chipset", then select "System Agent (SA) Con-

figuration", "Graphic Configuration", "LCD Control" and "Secondary IGFX Boot Dis­play" and there set "DVI".

6. Save the settings and exit BIOS.

The digital monitor is now detected.

If it is necessary to switch back to the analog monitor output, this is done in the
same way but by setting "CTR".

Setting external monitor resolution to higher than 800 x 600 pixels

1. Switch off R&S UPV.

2. Connect the external monitor, keyboard and mouse.

3. Switch on R&S UPV.

4. After starting the R&S UPV, exit or minimize the UPV program by clicking on the

buttons on the right in the title bar.

5. Right‑click the desktop to open the context menu and then select "Graphics

Options" and"Output To".

6. If the external monitor is connected to the VGA output: Select "Monitor". If the

external monitor is connected to the DVI‑D output: Select "Digital Display".

Switch off the internal LC screen and switch on the external monitor if it was previ­ously switched off.

in the "Resolution" field.

8. Click "Apply" and then "OK" to apply the new screen resolution.

Switching on internal screen

Proceed as described in the section "Setting external screen resolution to higher than
800 x 600", point 1 to point 5, then:

1. If only the internal display is required, select "Built-In Display". The external monitor

is switched off.

2. If clone mode is required, select "Clone Display" and then select "Built-in Display +

Monitor" for an external monitor at the VGA port or "Built-in Display + Digital Dis­play" for the DVI‑D port. The internal screen and the external screen are switched
on.

2.9 Installing Options

The R&S UPV can be equipped with a few options. These options can be divided into
two basic categories:

Software options These can be installed by the user alone; installation instructions and a

unique activation code supplied with the option are required.

Hardware options These are installed in the R&S UPV audio analyzer, can be retrofitted only

by a Rohde & Schwarz service facility. "Exception: The plug-in cards for
the R&S UPV-B41, -B42 and -B48 options can also be installed by the
user by following the information listed in the installation instruction since
they do not require that the base unit be opened."

2.10 Connect R&S UPV to a Network (LAN)

The R&S UPV has a network connector and can be connected to a LAN (Local Area
Network).

Network administrators with the appropriate rights can transfer files across the network
and use network resources such as the network directories or printers. The instrument
can also be remote-controlled and manually operated in the network.

The manual remote allows operating the R&S UPV from any remote external com­puter. For example, the user can operate one or several R&S UPVs from his workplace
that are integrated inn a test setup in another part of the building.

The R&S UPV is shipped with activated Windows firewall. File transfer via LAN or
manual remote operation using the remote desktop requires only a partial exception in

51Getting Started 1146.2078.62 ─ 09

R&S®UPV

Startup

Connect R&S UPV to a Network (LAN)

the firewall. It is advisable to coordinate the configuration of the firewall with the net­work administrator.

The remote control of the instrument via the LAN interface is described in the operating
manual on the documentation CD.

2.10.1 Connection to the Network

Possible malfunction of the network operation

It is recommended that the connection of the instrument to the network be coordinated
with the network administrator. Connection errors may affect the entire network.

Do not connect or disconnect the network cable until the instrument is switched off
(standby). Only then can the network connection be reliably detected and impairments
to instrument operation can be avoided.

The instrument is connected to the network using a commercially available RJ-45
cable connected to the LAN interface at the rear of the instrument. In order to supress
electromagnetic interference, it is recommended to use suitable shielded CAT6 or
CAT7 cables of high quality.

2.10.2 Configuration of R&S UPV 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 UPV.

Networks with DHCP

The R&S UPV is preconfigured for networks using DHCP (dynamic host configuration
protocol). In these networks, the R&S UPV is automatically assigned an unused IP
address.

In this case, a unique computer name is used for identification in the network. Every
R&S UPV is assigned an individual computer name at the factory. This name can be
queried in the Windows menu "Start - My Computer" and changed (see chap-

ter 2.10.2.3, "Querying the computer name", on page 56).

R&S®UPV

Startup

Connect R&S UPV to a Network (LAN)

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 53).

Point-to-point connections

To set up a simple network – a LAN connection between an R&S UPV and a computer
without integration in a larger network – an IP address must be assigned for the R&S
UPV 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.

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 UPV, 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
UPV.

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 keyboard is
connected; connection of a mouse is recommended for easy operation. The instrument
should be switched off before the keyboard and mouse are connected. This will ensure
that the keyboard and mouse are correctly detected by the operating system.

2.10.2.2 Entering the IP Address

By default, "Obtain an IP address automatically " (DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) is preset.

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 UPV in a larger network with the
required rights assignment is very complex and is generally performed by a network
administrator.

Access from R&S UPV 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 UPV is
to access simply has to be enabled on the remote computer. Access from R&S UPV 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.

puter name", on page 56).

At the R&S UPV, access the enabled directory

1. Use the Windows key to call up the "Start" menu.

2. In the menu, select "Search Computers or People", followed by "A Computer on

the Network".

3. In the input window with the query "Which computer are you looking for?", enter the

name of the computer and start the search with Enter.

The PC is listed with its computer name as the search result.

4. Click on the computer name. The enabled directory is displayed and the files

stored in it can be used in the R&S UPV.

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

Be default, LXI is only available to the R&S UPV66, but it can also be installed on the
R&S UPV at a later time, if required.

The LXI functionality for the R&S UPV66 requires at least the Windows XP operating
system with Service Pack 2 which may not yet be installed on older computers. If this
is the case, please contact your Rohde & Schwarz subsidiary. The version of the oper­ating system can be checked under "Instrument Properties" in the "General" menu.

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

57Getting Started 1146.2078.62 ─ 09

R&S®UPV

Startup

Connect R&S UPV to a Network (LAN)

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:

●

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 UPV66 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 UPV66 shows the LAN status of the
instrument. The LAN LED indicator has three states.

58Getting Started 1146.2078.62 ─ 09

R&S®UPV

Connect R&S UPV to a Network (LAN)

●

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 rear side of the
instrument (see chapter 2.2.11, "LAN RESET Pushbutton", on page 24).

●

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 interface.

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 60).

More information about the LXI standard is located on the LXI website under

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 UPV66 in the address field, e.g.

http://rsUPV66100002 or http://10.113.10.203.

The instrument name for the R&S UPV66 is always RSUPV66vvv-xxxxxx, whereby vvv
represents the variant and xxxxxx the six-digit serial number of the instrument. If the
instrument does not have a variant number, the"vvv-" is omitted.

The instrument home page shows all important information in a compact form. The
MAC address and the (often dynamically assigned) IP address as well as the complete
resource string for the remote control via VISA are also located here.

The LAN indicator on the instrument will blink if Device Indicator is set to ACTIVE.
Clicking on "INACTIVE (press to toggle)" switches the status on and off. It can be used

to quickly identify an instrument that is mounted together with several other instru­ments of the same type, such as in a 19" rack.

Clicking on "ACTIVE (press to toggle)" switches the flashing state off again.

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.

●

IP address
– Allows the IP address of the instrument to be modified if DHCP is disabled.

●

Subnet mask, default gateway
– are settings that may have to be changed at times compared to the displayed

presets if DHCP is switched off. Consult the network administrator for the
proper values if it is necessary to modify these settings.

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.

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).

2. Enter the IP address of the second device without the ping command and without

any further parameters into the Destination Address field (e.g. 10.113.10.203).

3. Click on "Submit".

Windows XP Recovery and Backup

The initial installation and firmware updates are carried out by starting this EXE file. By
doing this you start an Installer program which automatically checks which type of
installation is necessary:

Main installation The Installer displays what it has found out about the environment into

Major update The Installer detects that the installed firmware is too old for a minor

Minor update The Installer simply displays a short prompt asking whether you wish

uninstall the old software completely.

to update the firmware. The rest is performed automatically.

The two most common problems that can occur when installing the software (or during
a major update) are these:

●

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 instal-

led using the Windows wizard; the required INI file is named
C:\UPV\fpnl_wdm.inf. You should now reinstall the firmware.

– The installation of additional Windows settings went wrong. In this case, exe-

cute the files C:\UPV\ScanFirmwareVersions.exe and
C:\UPV\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

Introduction - Getting Started

3.1 Introduction - Getting Started

This chapter describes the manual operation of the R&S UPV audio analyzer. The
information in this chapter also largely applies analogously to the R&S UPV66(which
was primarily designed for system use) provided that an external monitor, keyboard,
and mouse are connected to the instrument. For more detailed information on the
operation via external keyboard and mouse, see chapter 4, "Manual Operation",
on page 121.

The R&S UPV 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 UPV 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 UPV 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 UPV audio analyzer.

3.2 Important Information for Measurements

3.2.1 Maximum Output Voltage of the R&S UPV Generator

79Getting Started 1146.2078.62 ─ 09

R&S®UPV

Getting Started

Important Information for Measurements

Possible Damage or Destruction of Input Circuits

The generator of the audio analyzer can generate analog output voltages with an RMS
of up to 20 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 maximum voltage is not exceeded even in the case of changes made using the
rotary knob. For the setting of such value entries or the changes via the rotary knob,
see chapter 3.3.7, "Function Selection and Value Entry", on page 91 or chapter 4,

"Manual Operation", on page 121.

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 Rapid Deactivation of Outputs

The OUTPUT OFF key can be used in the event of faults to deactivate all outputs of
the R&S UPV. The key affects all audio outputs, i.e. for both analog and digital audio
signals.

The deactivated lines can only be reactivated by pressing the OUTPUT OFF key
again.

The status of the key is indicated by an LED. Illumination of the LED means OUTPUT
OFF.

For more information about this key, see chapter 4.13, "Rapid Deactivation of Out-

puts", on page 198.

3.2.3 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.

Both the generator and the analyzer are configured as floating devices in order to pre­vent an additional, inadvertent ground connection via the audio analyzer. The two

80Getting Started 1146.2078.62 ─ 09

R&S®UPV

Getting Started

Brief Introduction to Operation

"Common" fields of the "Generator Config" and "Analyzer Config" panels are factory­set to "Float".

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. This can be done at the audio ana­lyzer by switching the "Common" line to "Ground" for either the generator or the ana­lyzer (depending on the application).

For more detailed explanations about performing such settings, see chapter 3.3.7,

"Function Selection and Value Entry", on page 91 or chapter 4, "Manual Operation",

on page 121.

3.2.4 Help System

The audio analyzer has a context-sensitive help system.

If you have a question while operating the instrument, pressing the HELP key 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 199.

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 UPV is largely
based on the Windows user interfaces. All panels, entry windows, etc. are made up of
known elements.

R&S®UPV

Getting Started

Brief Introduction to Operation

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 R&S UPV can for the most part be operated via the front panel. The instrument
is operated using function keys with permanently assigned functions, softkeys with
functions which vary depending on the application, and the rotary knob with integrated
entry function. Additional peripheral devices such as a mouse and keyboard should be
connected in order to use the toolbar and quickstart panel. Operation using an external
keyboard and mouse is explained in the chapter chapter 4, "Manual Operation",
on page 121. The R&S UPV66 can only be operated manually if the peripheral devi­ces, i.e. external monitor, external 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 UPV, 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 UPV. Both the
instrument settings in the various panels and the measurement results are displayed
here.

To make the various functions of the R&S UPV 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 by pressing the WINBAR key in combi­nation with the softkey bar.

Five display windows (or "screens") are provided so that the wealth of information can
be better organized. The direction keys

3.3.3 Panels and Display Windows

The R&S UPV 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 opened on the currently displayed screen by activating the menu bar using
the MENU key, highlighting the "Instruments" or "DispConfig" button with the cursor
keys and/or rotary knob, opening the pulldown menu with the ENTER key or with a
rotary‑knob click, and then highlighting the desired panel and selecting it with a
rotary‑knob click.

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.

In both cases, the panel/window is assigned an entry in the WINBAR at the bottom of
the display. Only one window on the screen can be activated at any one time using the
softkeys on the WINBAR (active windows are identified by their blue title bar).

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.
