2 Getting Started
Chapter 2 provides a fast introduction to operation by guiding the user step by step through a
measurement example.
Before starting any measurement with the R&S ESCI, please note the instructions given in chapter 1 for
putting the instrument into operation. In chapters 3 you will find detailed information on customizing the
instrument and the display.
For a systematic explanation of all menus, functions and parameters and background information refer
to the reference part in chapter 4.
Measurement Examples and Applications
This section describes a typical and simple measurement task for an EMI test receiver. Each operating
step is explained with the aid of R&S ESCI for rapid familiarization of the user without the need to know
all the details of the operating functions.
In the introductory example a standard measurement of level and frequency is performed with the aid
of the SCAN table. This measurement is an overview and precertification measurement to be performed
before the final standard-conformal measurement is carried out.
Note: If unknown (RFI) signals are to be measured, it is strongly recommended to provide for at least
10 dB RF attenuation at the RF input in order to protect the input circuit.
In the following example the test receiver is set to default values in the receiver mode. The default setup
is activated by pressing first the RECEIVER hotkey and then the PRESET key. The main default
parameters are listed in the following table.
