Storing required data permanently
Any data that is to be available for subsequent sessions with the R&S FSW must
be stored on the instrument permanently, before activating the secure user mode.
This includes predefined instrument settings, transducer factors and self-align-
ment data.
Self-alignment data
Note that self-alignment data becomes invalid with time and due to tempera-
ture changes. Therefore, to achieve optimal accuracy, it may be preferable
to perform a new self-alignment at the start of each new session on the
R&S FSW.
Restricted operation
Since permanent storage is not possible, the following functions are not available
in secure user mode:
●
Firmware update
●
Activating a new option key
Furthermore, since the "SecureUser" used in secure user mode does not have
administrator rights, administrative tasks such as LAN configuration and some
general instrument settings are not available. Refer to the description of the basic
instrument setup ([SETUP] menu) to find out which functions are affected.
Activating and deactivating secure user mode
Only a user with administrator rights can activate (and deactivate) the secure user
mode. Once activated, a restart is required. The special user "SecureUser" is
then logged on to the R&S FSW automatically using the auto-login function. While
the secure user mode is active, a message is displayed in the status bar at the
bottom of the screen.
