Risk of losing data
If you switch off the running instrument using the rear panel switch or by disconnecting
the power cord, the instrument loses its current settings.
Always press the [POWER ON/STANDBY] key first to shut down the application prop-
erly.
1. Press the [POWER ON /STAND BY] key to save the current setup, shut down the
operating system and set the instrument to standby state.
The [POWER ON /STAND BY] LED must be orange.
Tip: If the instrument is operated manually via the R&S SGMA-GUI, select "SGMA-
GUI > Instrument Name > Setup > Standby".
2. To turn the power off, press the main power switch to position 0 (Off).
None of the front-panel LEDs should be on.
2.1.6 Function Check
The instrument automatically monitors the main functions when it is switched on and
monitors them continuously during operation.
A detected fault is indicated by an "Error" message displayed in the info line of the
R&S SGMA-GUI together with a brief error description. For an in-depth identification of
the error, press the "SGMA-GUI > Info" button. In response, a description of the errors
is displayed. For more information, refer to the "Error Messages" section in the user
manual.
In addition to the automatic monitoring, the R&S SGS offers the following capabilities
to ensure correct functioning:
●
Internal Adjustments
In the R&S SGMA-GUI, select the "Instrument > Setup > Internal Adjustments" dia-
log to access the dialog for performing and configuring the adjustments settings. A
maximum level accuracy can be obtained, for instance.
●
Selftest
A selftest is provided for service purposes ("SGMA-GUI > Instrument > Diagnostic/
Test > Self Test").
2.1.7 Default Settings
When the instrument is switched on, it is not the preset state that is active, but rather
the instrument state that was set before the instrument was switched off. It is recom-
mended that you use the "SGMA-GUI > Instrument > Preset" function to return the
instrument to its defined preset state every time a new configuration is required or the
current setup is no longer relevant.
