EMI suppression
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) may affect the measurement results.
To suppress generated electromagnetic interference (EMI):
●
Use only double-shielded cables for RF and GPS connection when not using the
standard accessory.
●
Always terminate open cable ends.
●
DC-based lab networks are not allowed to be used for power supply.
●
LAN cable length to the next PC or switch must be < 30m.
●
Note the EMC classification in the specifications document.
3.1.5.1 Setting up the LAN connection to the host PC
To control and run measurements with the R&S TSME6, a host PC or notebook with
LAN interface is required.
The R&S TSME6 is equipped with a network interface and can be connected to an
Ethernet LAN (local area network). The interface can be used to connect the
R&S TSME6 to a host PC.
The following scenarios are possible.
●
Connection between PC and R&S TSME6(s) using static IP addresses.
●
Connection between PC and R&S TSME6(s) using dynamical generated IP
addresses (Auto-IP).
Modes
●
"Full auto-IP" mode
IP addresses are automatically generated on PC and R&S TSME6(s) if the follow-
ing conditions are met:
– A PC network interface is configured to obtain an IP address automatically
– The IP address stored in R&S TSME6(s) is not in the range 169.254.0.1 –
169.254.255.254 (inclusive).
Note: It is the IP address set by the R&S TSME Device Manager.
●
"Partial auto-IP" mode
An IP address is automatically generated on a PC and a static IP address is used
on R&S TSME6 if the following conditions are met:
– A PC network interface is configured to obtain an IP address automatically
– The IP address stored in R&S TSME6 is in the range 169.254.0.1 –
169.254.255.254 (inclusive).
Note: It is the IP address set by the R&S TSME Device Manager.
●
"Static IP" mode
The IP address is manually set on the PC and a static IP is used on R&S TSME6 if
the following conditions are met:
– PC LAN interface is configured to use a user-defined IP address, not in the
range 169.254.0.1 – 169.254.255.254 (inclusive).
