The configuration of the operating system is optimally adapted to signal generator func-
tions in the factory. Changes in the system setup are only required when peripherals like
keyboard are installed or if the network configuration does not comply with the default
settings (see chapter 2.6.1, "Connecting the Instrument to the Network", on page 39).
After the R&S SMBV is started, the operating system boots and the instrument firmware
is started automatically.
Accessing Operating System
The operating system cannot be accessed.
All necessary system settings can be made in the "Setup" dialog.

via a memory stick connected to a USB interface. The memory stick, the hard disk and
the flash memory are accessed via the "File Manager".

The instrument also supports two standard methods to access the file system form a
remote client:
●

Both methods allow the access to the folder /var/user/share.

Password dialog before connecting the instrument to the network!
