3.3 Trying Out the Instrument
This chapter introduces the most important functions and settings of the R&S SMW
step by step. The complete description of the functionality and its usage is given in the
R&S SMW user manual. Basic instrument operation is described in Chapter 3.5,
"Instrument Control", on page 90.
You can perform the tasks described in this section step-by-step or run the build-in
tutorials, see:
●
"To start a tutorial in an interactive step-by-step mode" on page 102
Prerequisites
●
The instrument is set up, connected to power and started up as described in Chap-
ter 3.1, "Preparing for Use", on page 27.
●
Throughout this description, the term base unit describes a R&S SMW equipped
with the options R&S SMW-B10, R&S SMW-B13, and R&S SMW-B1003.
You can check all supplied options and licenses of the instrument, see Chapter 15.7,
"Requesting Instrument Configuration and Specifications", on page 1262.
For the first signal generation tasks, you use the internal baseband and reference sig-
nal, so you do not need any additional signal source. More complex signal generation
tasks, however, require an instrument equipped with additional options and/or external
signals. Each task description lists its prerequisites.
The screenshots in this description show a fully equipped instrument. Consider that,
the block diagram displayed on your particular instrument can differ from the one used
in the example.
The instrument is manually operated via the touchscreen. Try out the following:
● Generating an Unmodulated Carrier.......................................................................53
● Generating a Digitally Modulated Signal.................................................................55
● Triggering the Instrument with an External Signal.................................................. 57
