The keyboard is detected automatically when it is connected. The default input language
is English - US. It is safe to connect or disconnect the external keyboard during meas-
urements.
To configure the keyboard, use the Windows XP dialogs "Keyboard Properties" and
"Regional and Language Options" (Start menu > Settings > Control Panel > Keyboard /
Regional and Language Options).
To access Windows XP via a front panel with display, press the SYS key. Note that
operating a tester with display does not require a keyboard. You can access all essential
functions using the keys on the front panel.
2.2.3.3 Connecting a Printer
A printer can be connected to one of the USB connectors on the front panel or on the
rear panel. It is safe to connect or disconnect the printer during measurements.
To install a printer driver or configure a printer, use the Windows XP dialog "Printers and
Faxes" (Start menu > Settings > Control Panel > Printers and Faxes).
To access Windows XP via a front panel with display, press the SYS key.
A great variety of printer drivers is already available on the R&S CMW500. You can load
updated driver versions or new drivers e.g. from a USB memory stick or from a network
directory available via LAN. Use the "Add Printer Wizard" to complete the installation.
2.2.3.4 Connecting a Monitor
A standard monitor can be connected to the DVI-D connector of the R&S CMW500.
For instruments with display this connector is optional (R&S CMW-B620A).
Monitor connection
The monitor must be connected while the instrument is switched off or in standby mode.
Otherwise correct operation cannot be guaranteed.
The external monitor displays the magnified GUI with all dialogs, measurement results
and control elements. Additionally it shows a soft-front panel, emulating front panel con-
trol elements. See also chapter 2.4.4, "Using the Soft-Front Panel and Keyboard Short-
cuts", on page 37.
With an additional mouse or keyboard connected to the tester, you can control applica-
tions from the external monitor.
If the instrument is equipped with a display, you can activate the internal display (and
deactivate the external monitor) by pressing CTRL + ALT + F3 at a connected keyboard.
To activate the external monitor (and deactivate the internal display) press CTRL + ALT
+ F4.
