4.1 Main Settings
The main settings for the R&S NRP2 are accessed via hardkeys.
4.1.1 Preset hardkey
(PRE)SET changes the instrument to its default state (Preset), to a predefined state for
a mobile radio standard or to a user-defined (Setup) state. A maximum of 10 states are
possible.
The highlighted background of the text indicates that the function can also be started by
pressing the (PRE)SET hardkey if the "File" menu is open.

Pressing this key once opens the "File" menu. Refer to chapter 4.6, "Management of
settings", on page 139 for description of the menu's topics.
2. Pressing the key a second time loads the preset settings.
When the preset state is selected, all default parameters are set - even those for operating
modes that have not been activated. The following list gives an overview of the preset
values for the most important meter settings. Further preset values can be found in the
remote command description (*RST on page 196). Various parameters including the
