Hardware Alignment
Note: The alignment mode should not be set to automatic, else the I/Q streaming data is interrupted by an
automatic calibration. Alignment should be performed after a 20-minute warm-up, and immediately before
recording for best results.
To set Hardware Alignment from Automatic to Manual:
1. Press System on the front panel.
Press Alignments > Auto Align > Off.
