Connection of USB Devices
Up to two USB devices can be directly connected to the analyzer via the USB interface on the rear of the
R&S ESCI. This number can be increased as required by interconnecting USB hubs.
Owing to the wide variety of available USB devices, the R&S ESCI can be expanded with almost no
limitations. The following list shows a selection of USB devices suitable for the R&S ESCI:
• Power Sensor R&S NRP-Z11 or R&S NRP-Z21 (Adapter Cable R&S NRP-Z4 required)
• Pendrive (memory stick) for easy data transfer from/to the PC (e.g. firmware updates)
• CD-ROM drive for easy installation of firmware applications
• PC keyboard for entering comments, file names, etc
• Mouse for easy operation of Windows dialogs
• Printer for documentation of measurement results
• Modem for remote control of the R&S ESCI over great distances
The installation of USB devices is quite simple under Windows XP since all USB devices are Plug&Play.
Apart from the keyboard and the mouse, all USB devices can be connected to or disconnected from the
R&S ESCI while the instrument is running.
After the instrument is connected to the USB interface, Windows XP automatically searches for a
suitable device driver.
If Windows XP does not find a suitable driver, you will be prompted to specify a directory where the
driver software can be found. If the driver software is on a CD, a USB CD-ROM should first be
connected to drive to the R&S ESCI.
As soon as the connection between the R&S ESCI and the USB device is interrupted, Windows XP will
again recognize the modified hardware configuration and will deactivate the corresponding device driver.
Example:
Connecting a pendrive (memory stick) to the R&S ESCI:
1. After the pendrive is connected to the USB interface, Windows XP will recognize the newly
connected hardware:
2. Windows XP installs the corresponding driver.
After successful installation, XP signals that the unit is ready for operation:
