state, it is safe to switch the AC power off and disconnect the instrument from the
power supply. In ready state, all modules are power-supplied. When switched to ready
state, the analyzer initiates its startup procedure.

2.9 Connecting External Accessories
The analyzer's standard PC interfaces (Monitor, USB, LAN) can be used to connect
various accessories:
●
An external monitor expands/displays the Windows
®
desktop, which is, by default,
covered by the Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) application window in full-screen
mode.
●
External keyboard and mouse enable/simplify local control, in particular manual
(GUI) operation of the VNA application.
●
A printer can be used to create hard copies of the measurement diagrams and
traces from within the VNA application.
●
A LAN connection can be established to access the analyzer's mass storage or
control the analyzer from an external PC.
●
Instruments equipped with controller LPW11 can also be remote controlled via
USB.
For the R&S ZNBT, external monitor and mouse are required for local operation. The
R&S ZNB can be fully controlled by tapping the touchscreen and front panel keys.
2.9.1 Connecting a Monitor
A standard monitor can be connected to the DVI-D connector of the R&S ZNB/ZNBT.
No extra configuration is required.
Instruments equipped with controller LPW11 also offer a DisplayPort.
Safety aspects
The monitor must be connected while the instrument is switched off (or in standby
mode). Otherwise correct operation cannot be guaranteed.
Select SYSTEM > [DISPLAY] > "View Bar" > "Hard Key Panel On" from the menu bar
