4 Getting started
32 NBM-550 Narda
Note: After connecting to the GPS module, it can take up to
5 minutes for a position display to appear. The waiting time
decreases with short-term switching off and on, i.e. when
the satellite positions are only marginally changed. GPS
reception may be impaired by high field levels and, in
particular, by field levels in the L-band (1 to 2 GHz).
4.2 The NBM-550 operating concept
When the self test is complete, the display switches to
measurement mode.
The settings will depend on the power on behavior that you
have selected (see “Saving and loading instrument
settings” on page 90).
