21.1 Operating system
The R&S RTP has a Windows 10 operating system.
The operating system has been configured according to the instrument's features and
needs. To ensure that the instrument software functions properly, certain rules must be
observed when using the operating system.
Risk of rendering instrument unusable
The instrument is equipped with the Windows operating system. You can install addi-
tional software on the instrument, however, additional software can 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 are adapted to the
instrument. Only install update software released by Rohde & Schwarz to modify exist-
ing instrument software.
Changes in the system setup are only required if the network configuration does not
comply with the default settings (see Chapter 21.2.1, "Connecting the instrument to the
network", on page 1092).
