You can install additional software on the instrument, however, additional soft-
ware can impair instrument function. Thus, run only programs that
Rohde & Schwarz has tested for compatibility with the instrument software.
The following program packages have been tested:
●
Symantec Endpoint Security – virus-protection software
●
FileShredder - for reliable deletion of files on the hard disk
4.2.1 Virus Protection
Take appropriate steps to protect your instruments from infection. Use strong fire-
wall settings and scan any removable storage device used with a
Rohde & Schwarz instrument regularly. It is also recommended that you install
anti-virus software on the instrument. Rohde & Schwarz does NOT recommend
running anti-virus software in the background ("on-access" mode) on Windows-
based instruments, due to potentially degrading instrument performance. How-
ever, Rohde & Schwarz does recommend running it during non-critical hours.

4.2.2 Service Packs and Updates
Microsoft regularly creates security updates and other patches to protect Win-
dows-based operating systems. These are released through the Microsoft Update
website and associated update server. Instruments using Windows, especially
those that connect to a network, should be updated regularly.
