Device Analysis Output
Furthermore, any warnings, errors or information concerning the device status are dis-
played in the "Device Analysis Output" table. This table is available on all tabs, at the
bottom of the R&S TSME Device Manager window.
Depending on their relevance, the messages are assigned to the following categories:
●
Info: information for the user, no action required
●
Warning: warning on behalf of the instrument - solution recommended
●
Error: error on behalf of the instrument - must be solved before further operation
In case measurement problems occur with the R&S TSME6, check the "Device Analy-
sis Output" table for any detected errors. If available, a repair function is provided.
6.1.2 Changing IP addresses - "Network Configuration"
By default, each R&S TSME6 is delivered with the pre-configured IP address
192.168.0.2. However, if multiple R&S TSME6s are connected to the same host PC,
each device must have a unique IP address.
You can change the IP address for the connected R&S TSME6s directly via the
R&S TSME Device Manager.
If necessary, the LAN adapter settings on the host PC must also be adapted accord-
ingly to reconnect with the R&S TSME6 (see also Chapter 3.1.5.1, "Setting up the LAN
connection to the host PC", on page 17). In particular, the host PC (LAN adapters)
must use the subnet in which the IP addresses of the R&S TSME6s are located.
Define the IP address in the "Network Configuration" tab of the R&S TSME Device
Manager. The currently active IP address for the selected R&S TSME6 is displayed for
reference. It remains active until you select the "Accept Network Changes" button.
Auto IP Address
If "full auto-IP" mode is used, the "R&S TSME Device Manager" shows an extra field
indicating the automatically generated IP address used for the connection to the host
(see Figure 6-2 with example IP address: 169.254.233.79).
In this case, the IP address stored in R&S TSME6 (here 192.168.0.2) is still used as an
identifier for the connection by the software applications, i.e. a kind of virtual IP
address.
If partial auto-IP mode or static IP mode is used, the "R&S TSME Device Manager"
does not show this extra field and the IP address stored in the R&S TSME6 is also the
IP address used for the physical connection (in this example: 192.168.0.2)
Advanced settings
The "Advanced Settings" are only visible for devices with a PCI of the controller board
< 06.00 (R&S TSMA6 and older versions of R&S TSME6). Use this functionality only if
Using the R&S TSME device manager
