1.8.2 Startup
► Press the ON/STANDBY key to switch to ready state.
The R&S NRP2 initiates its startup procedure, i.e. it boots the operating system,
automatically performs a selftest and starts the instrument firmware. If the previous
session was terminated regularly, the instrument uses the last setup with the relevant
instrument settings.
Use the (PRE)SET key to return the instrument to its definite reset/preset state, if the
current setup is no longer relevant.
To customize the start settings use the "File" dialog box, see chapter 4.6, "Management
of settings", on page 139.
