Risk of causing instrument unusability
The instrument is equipped with the Windows 7 operating system. Additional software
can therefore be installed on the instrument. The use and installation of additional soft-
ware may impair instrument function. Thus, run only programs that Rohde & Schwarz
has tested for compatibility with the instrument software.
The drivers and programs used on the instrument under Windows 7 have been adap-
ted to the instrument. Existing instrument software must always be modified using only
update software released by Rohde & Schwarz.
The following program packages have been tested:
●
R&S Power Viewer Plus - virtual power meter for displaying results of the Power
Sensor R&S NRP-Zxx (install only this component!)
●
Symantec Endpoint Security – Virus-protection software
●
FileShredder - for reliable deletion of files on the hard disk
2.2.5.1 Virus Protection
Take appropriate steps to protect your instruments from infection. Use strong firewall
settings and scan any removable storage device used with a Rohde & Schwarz instru-
ment regularly. It is also recommended that you install anti-virus software on the instru-
ment. Rohde & Schwarz does NOT recommend running anti-virus software in the
background ("on- access" mode) on Windows-based instruments, due to potentially
degrading instrument performance. However, it does recommend running it during
non-critical hours.

ware Protection Windows 10
2.2.5.2 Service Packs and Updates
Microsoft regularly creates security updates and other patches to protect Windows-
based operating systems. These are released through the Microsoft Update website
and associated update server. Instruments using Windows, especially those that con-
nect to a network, should be updated regularly.

ware Protection Windows 10
2.2.5.3 Login
Windows 7 requires that users identify themselves by entering a user name and pass-
word in a login window. By default, the R&S FSVA/FSV provides two user accounts:
●
"Instrument": an administrator account with unrestricted access to the computer/
domain
