The following USB devices can be useful, for example:
●
USB flash drives to save screenshots and measurement results, and for easy
installation of firmware applications
●
Keyboard and/or mouse to simplify the operation and the entry of data, com-
ments, filenames, etc.
●
Printer to print measurement results and screenshots
You can connect or disconnect all USB devices during operation of the instru-
ment.
Installing USB devices on R&S RTP is easy under the Windows operating sys-
tem, because all USB devices are plug&play. After a device is connected to the
USB interface, Windows automatically searches for a suitable device driver.
If the operating system does not find a suitable driver, it prompts you to specify a
directory that contains the driver software. If the driver software is on a storage
media, connect the appropriate drive to the instrument before proceeding. If the
instrument is integrated in a network, you can also install driver data stored in a
network directory.
When a USB device is disconnected from the R&S RTP, Windows immediately
detects the change in hardware configuration and deactivates the corresponding
driver.
The properties of external USB devices are configured in the operating system,
not in the R&S RTP software. It is recommended that you use mouse and key-
board to access and modify the settings of the Windows operating system. To
access Windows, press the Windows key on the external keyboard, or select
"File" > "Minimize Application" on the R&S RTP menu.
Connecting a USB flash drive
If the installation of a USB flash drive is successful, Windows informs you that the
device is ready to use. The device is made available as a new drive ("D:") and is
displayed in Windows Explorer. The name of the drive depends on the manufac-
turer.
Connecting a keyboard
The keyboard is detected automatically when it is connected. The default input
language is English – US.
