Connecting External Accessories
Operating Manual 1202.3986.32 – 03 17
Keyboard configuration
Use the "Start – Control Panel –
Keyboard" or "Regional and Language Options" menu
of Windows XP to configure the keyboard properties. To access Windows XP, press
the Windows key on the external keyboard or the SYS key on the front panel.
Operating the tester does not require a keyboard. You can access all essential
functions using the keys on the front panel. In combination with a mouse, the front
panel keys provide access to all instrument functions.
1.5.3 Connecting a Printer
A printer can be connected to one of the Universal Serial Bus connectors on the front
panel or on the rear panel.
It is safe to connect or disconnect the printer during the measurement. When printing a
file, the tester checks whether a printer is connected and turned on and whether the
appropriate printer driver is installed. If required, printer driver installation is initiated
using Windows XP's "Add Printer Wizard". The wizard is self-explanatory. A printer
driver needs to be installed only once, even though the printer may be temporarily
removed from the tester.
To access Windows XP, press the Windows key on the external keyboard or the SYS
key on the front panel.
Print dialog
Generating a hardcopy of a file requires the operating system and an appropriate
application program. While in the R&S CMW 500 software application, you can use the
Print Dialog to save the display contents to a file.
Printer driver installation
A great variety of printer drivers is available on the R&S CMW 500. To obtain the
complete list, access Windows XP (press the Windows key) and open the "Add Printer
Wizard" in the "Start – Control Panel – Printer and Faxes" menu.
You can load updated and improved driver versions or new drivers from an installation
disk, USB memory stick or another external storage medium. Alternatively, if the tester
is integrated in a network, you can install driver data stored in a network directory. In
either case, use the "Add Printer Wizard" to complete the installation.
