Preparing for Use

SMBV100A
37Operating Manual 1407.6062.32 ─ 08
Installing USB devices is easy under Linux, because all USB devices are plug&play. After
a device is connected to the USB interface, the operating system automatically searches
for a suitable device driver.
If Linux does not find a suitable driver, it will prompt you to specify a directory that contains
the driver software. If the driver software is on a CD, connect a USB CD-ROM drive to
the instrument before proceeding.
When a USB device is subsequently disconnected from the R&S SMBV, the operating
system immediately detects the change in hardware configuration and deactivates the
corresponding driver.
All USB devices can be connected to or disconnected from the instrument during oper-
ation.
Connecting a memory stick or CD-ROM drive
If installation of a memory stick or CD-ROM drive is successful, the operating system
informs you that the device is ready to use. The device is made available as a new drive
(/usb). The name of the drive is manufacturer-dependent.
Connecting a keyboard
The keyboard is detected automatically when it is connected. The default keyboard layout
is English – US.
Use the "Setup > Keyboard Settings" dialog to configure the keyboard properties.
Connecting a mouse
The mouse is detected automatically when it is connected.
2.5 Linux Operating System
The instrument contains the Linux operating system. To ensure that the instrument soft-
ware functions properly, certain rules must be adhered to concerning the operating sys-
tem.
Risk of causing instrument unusability
The instrument is equipped with the Linux operating system. Additional software can
therefore be installed on the instrument. The use and installation of additional software
may 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 Linux have been adapted to the
instrument. Existing instrument software must always be modified using only update
software released by Rohde & Schwarz.
