Entering the Setup Application Software menu
The 9102 Handheld Spectrum Analyzer’s Setup Application Software
menu can be entered instead of automatically loading the instrument
software. This menu provides you with access to the instrument in case
an error or problem should occur that prevents you from controlling it
and requires the instrument software to be set up again. The menu
offers two options for the update process: Serial update and LAN
update. To enter the Setup Application Software menu, proceed as
follows:
1 Turn on the 9102 Handheld Spectrum Analyzer.
The boot-up screen appears.
2 When the message “Press 0 to enter Setup” appears, press the
numeric key 0.
The Setup Application Software menu appears.
Setting a password
In order to ensure that software updates are only performed by autho-
rized users you can set a password to protect the software update
option. If a password is set, the user performing the software update
via the Setup Application Software menu will be asked to enter it before
data are loaded.
In order to set a password proceed as follows:
1 Switch on the 9102. In order to enter the Setup Application Soft-
ware menu press the numeric key 0 when the input request
message is displayed on the boot-up screen. Now the Setup Appli-
cation Software menu is displayed.
2 Press the numeric key 3 to open a password input field.
3 Enter a 6-digit numeric string as your password. For each digit you
enter an asterisk (*) will be displayed in the input field.
4Press E
NTER to submit your input. You will now be asked to reenter
your passwort for confirmation.
5Press E
NTER to submit your input. If your input is not identical to
the password entered in the first input field, an error message will
be displayed and you can enter the password again. Otherwise
your new password will be saved.
You can also change a previously defined password. In order to do so
proceed as described above. If a password has already been defined,
you will be asked automatically to enter the old password before you
can enter a new one.
NOTE
This password only affects the software update options available on
the Setup Application Software menu. It does not affect the usage of
the instrument’s application software.
