Risk of data loss

It is strongly recommended to switch the analyzer to standby state before disconnect-

ing it from the AC supply. If you set the power switch to 0 while the NWA application is

still running, you will lose the current settings. Moreover, loss of program data can not

be excluded if the application is terminated improperly.

Minimizing the NWA application

With a minimized NWA application, you can access your analyzer's Windows

desktop

or run other applications. To start the NWA application with a minimized window on a

continuing basis, right-click the NWA shortcut icon on the desktop and open the "Prop-

erties" dialog. In the "Shortcut" tab, select "Run: Minimized".

After a software update the NWA application is started with a maximized window

again. Moreover, if a second NWA application is started after a first, minimized applica-

tion, this will cause the first application to come to the foreground.

1.5 Windows Operating System

The analyzer is equipped with a Windows XP or Windows 7 operating system that has

been configured according to the instrument's features and needs.

Support for Windows 7 was added with FW version 3.50 and requires the analyzer to

be equipped with the new CPU board FMR11.

Upgrade kits from FMR6/7/9 to FMR11 with Windows 7 are available as option

R&S ZVA-U116. Note however that FMR11 is not supported with Windows XP.

Changes in the system configuration can be necessary in order to:

●

Customize the properties of the external accessories connected to the analyzer,

e.g. the screen resolution of a connected monitor

●

Establish a LAN connection

●

Call up additional software tools

Modifications of the operating system

The operating system is adapted to the network analyzer. To avoid impairment of

instrument functions, only change the settings described in this manual. Existing soft-

ware must be modified only with update software released by Rohde & Schwarz. Like-

wise, only programs authorized by Rohde & Schwarz for use on the instrument must

be executed.
