EMI impact on measurement results
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can affect the measurement results. To avoid any
impact, make sure that the following conditions are met:
●
Use suitable double-shielded cables.
●
Do not use USB connecting cables exceeding 1 m in length.
●
Use only USB devices that remain within the permissible EMI limits.
Outputs and lines have to be terminated properly with 50 Ohms.
For digital interfaces only the cable R&S SMU-Z6 is permitted for connection. The asso-
ciated cable is available under part number 1415.0201.02.
2.3.1 Unpacking and Checking the Instrument
To remove the instrument from its packaging and check the equipment for completeness
proceed as follows:
1. Pull off the polyethylene protection pads from the instrument's rear feet and then
carefully remove the pads from the instrument handles at the front.
2. Pull off the corrugated cardboard cover that protects the rear of the instrument.
3. Carefully unthread the corrugated cardboard cover at the front that protects the
instrument handles and remove it.
4. Check the equipment for completeness using the delivery note and the accessory
lists for the various items.
5. Check the instrument for any damage. If there is damage, immediately contact the
carrier who delivered the instrument. Make sure not to discard the box and packing
material.
Packing material
Retain the original packing material. If the instrument needs to be transported or shipped
at a later date, you can use the material to prevent control elements and connectors from
being damaged.
2.3.2 Placing or Mounting the Instrument
The R&S SMU is designed for use under laboratory conditions, either on a bench top or
in a rack using a rack adapter kit (order number see data sheet).
Bench Top Operation
If the R&S SMU is operated on a bench top, the surface should be flat. The instrument
can be used in horizontal position, standing on its feet, or with the support feet on the
bottom extended.
