Function Test R&S ESCI
1166.6004.12 1.16 E-1
Power-Save Mode
Display:
The R&S ESCI offers the possibility of switching on a power-save mode for the screen display. The
backlighting will be switched off if no entry is made on the front panel (key, softkey or hotkey as well as
spinwheel) during the selected response time.
In order to switch on the power-save mode:
1. Call the DISPLAY - CONFIG DISPLAY submenu to configure the screen display:
! Press DISP key
! Press CONFIG DISPLAY softkey
2. Activate the save mode
! Press DISPLAY PWR SAVE softkey.
The softkey is highlighted in colour, thus indicating that the power-save mode is on. At the
same time the data entry for the delay time is opened.
3. Define the delay time
! Enter the required response time in minutes and confirm the entry using the ENTER key.
The screen will be blanked out after the selected time period has elapsed.
Hard disk:
A power-save mode is preset for the built-in hard disk which is automatically closed down 15 minutes
after the last access.
Recalling the Most Recent Instrument Settings
The R&S ESCI stores its current instrument settings onto the hard disk every time it is switched off via
the ON/STANDBY key. After each power-on, the R&S ESCI is reloaded with the operational parameters
which were active just prior to the last power-off (STANDBY or AC power OFF) or were set with
STARTUP RECALL (see Chapter 4 "Saving and Recalling Data Sets").
Note: Storing the current instrument settings is not possible if the instrument is switched off using
the POWER ON switch at the rear panel or when unplugging the mains cord. After power-
on the instrument settings stored previously on the hard disk will be loaded in this case.
Function Test
After turning on the AC power, the R&S ESCI will display the following message on the display screen:
Rohde & Schwarz GmbH & Co. KG
Analyzer BIOS Vx.y
After appearance of the above message, a selftest of the controller hardware is performed.
Subsequently, the Windows XP controller boots and the measurement screen will appear.
The system self-alignment is activated via CAL key, CAL TOTAL softkey. The individual results of the
self-alignment (PASSED / FAILED) can be displayed in the CAL menu (CAL RESULTS).
With the aid of the built-in selftest functions (SETUP key, SERVICE, SELFTEST soft keys), the
functional integrity of the instrument can be verified and/or defective modules can be localized.
