To start the R&S SMW
Starting the R&S SMW requires that it is connected and turned on.
► At the front panel, press the ON/STANDBY key briefly.
The instrument boots the operating system and starts the instrument firmware.
After booting, the instrument is in the state before the last power off (standby or
ready), indicated by the ON/STANDBY illumination:
● Green: the R&S SMW is running and ready for operation.
All modules are power-supplied.
● Orange: the R&S SMW is in standby mode (main AC power switch is in posi-
tion "I").
The standby power mode keeps the power switch circuits and the oven-control-
led crystal oscillator OCXO active. In this state, it is safe to switch off the AC
power and disconnect the instrument from the power supply.
To switch between standby and ready state, briefly press the ON/STANDBY key.
If a previous session was terminated regularly, the instrument uses the last setup with
the relevant instrument settings.
► To set up a new configuration, press the PRESET key to return the instrument to
its defined reset/preset state.
To customize the start settings, e.g. to recall previously saved settings:
●
Use the SAVE/RCL function or
●
Define the USER key.
To shut down and turn off the R&S SMW
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. Furthermore, program data
can be lost.
Press the On/Standby key first to shut down the application properly.
1. Press the ON/STANDBY key.
The current setup is saved, the operating system shuts down and sets the instru-
ment to standby state.
The ON/STANDBY LED must be orange.
2. Turn off the main AC power switch at the rear panel of the R&S SMW (position "0"
(off)).
The instrument is no longer supplied with AC power.
