Considerations for Test Setup
Preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge is most likely to occur when you connect or disconnect a DUT
or test fixture to the instrument's test ports.
►
NOTICE!
Risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can
damage the electronic components of the R&S NRX and the device under test
(DUT).
Ground yourself to avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage:
● Use a wrist strap and cord to connect yourself to the ground.
● Use a conductive floor mat and heel strap combination.
EMI impact on measurement results
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) may affect the measurement results.
To suppress generated electromagnetic interference (EMI):
●
Use suitable shielded cables of high quality. For example, use double-shielded RF
and LAN cables.
●
Always terminate open cable ends.
●
Note the EMC classification in the data sheet.
●
Do not use USB connecting cables exceeding 5
m.

Placing on a Bench Top
Place the R&S NRX on a stable and level surface. The R&S NRX can be used in hori-
zontal position, standing on its feet, or with the support feet on the bottom extended.
Do not place anything on top of the R&S NRX, if the R&S NRX is not in a level posi-
tion.
To place the R&S NRX on a bench top
1. Place the R&S NRX on a stable, flat and level surface. Ensure that the surface can
support the weight of the R&S NRX. For information on the weight, see the data
sheet.
2.
CAUTION!
Foldable feet can collapse. Always fold the feet completely in or out to
ensure stability. The feet can collapse if they are not folded out completely or if the
product is moved without lifting it. The foldable feet are designed to carry the
weight of the product, but not an extra load.
