13 General Instrument Setup
Access: [SETUP]
Some basic instrument settings can be configured independently of the selected oper-
ating mode or application. Usually, you will configure most of these settings initially
when you set up the instrument according to your personal preferences or require-
ments and then only adapt individual settings to special circumstances when neces-
sary. Some special functions are provided for service and basic system configuration.

13.1 Alignment
13.1.1 Basics on Alignment
When you put the instrument into operation for the first time or when strong tempera-
ture changes occur, align the data to a reference source (see "Temperature check"
on page 301).
The correction data and characteristics required for the alignment are determined by
the firmware. It compares the results at different settings with the known characteristics
of the high-precision calibration signal source at 64 MHz.
Depending on the installation settings, an automatic self-alignment is performed
directly after installation, and a dialog is displayed indicating how much warm-up time
is still required before self-alignment can be performed.
During instrument start, the firmware checks whether the installed hardware is suppor-
ted. If not, an error message is displayed ("Wrong Firmware Version") and you are
asked to update the firmware. Until the firmware version is updated, self-alignment
fails.
