6.3 Connecting USB External Devices
Using the two USB interfaces on the front panel of the R&S ETL, you can directly con-
nect USB devices to the R&S ETL. This number can be increased as necessary by
using USB hubs.
Due to the large number of available USB devices, there is almost no limit to the
expansions that are possible with the R&S ETL. In the following, USB devices that can
be useful are listed:
●
Power sensors of the R&S NRP-Zxy family
Using an adapter cable (R&S NRP-Z4), you can connect a power sensor as an
alternative to the power sensor connector on the rear panel that is only available
with Additional Interfaces option, R&S FSL-B5.
●
Keyboard for entering comments, file names, etc. or easy access to Windows set-
tings.
See Chapter 6.3.1, "External Keyboard", on page 39.
●
Mouse for easy operation of Windows dialog boxes.
See Chapter 6.3.2, "Mouse", on page 40.
●
Memory stick for easy transfer of data to/from a computer, for example firmware
updates.
See Chapter 6.3.3, "Memory Stick", on page 40.
●
External drives for easy installation of firmware applications.
See Chapter 6.3.4, "External Drive", on page 40.
●
Printer for printing out measurement results.
To install a USB device
1. Connect the USB device to the R&S ETL. You can do this during operation
because all USB devices are Plug and Play.
Windows automatically searches for a suitable device driver.
2. If Windows does not find a suitable driver, it will prompt you to specify a directory
that contains the driver software. If the driver software is on a CD-ROM, connect a
USB CD-ROM drive to the R&S ETL before proceeding.
To uninstall a USB device
► Disconnect the USB device to the R&S ETL. You can do this during operation.
Windows immediately detects the change in the hardware configuration and deacti-
vates the corresponding driver.
6.3.1 External Keyboard
Connect the keyboard to one of the USB interfaces (type A). The default language set-
ting is for a UK keyboard. You can change the language and modify other settings such
as the repetition rate in Windows. For details on how to change these settings, refer to
the Windows documentation.
