4.8.4 Connecting an external monitor
You can connect an external monitor (or projector) to the "DVI" connector on the
instrument's rear panel (see also
Chapter 5.2.8, "DVI" , on page 33). The screen
resolution is always 640x480 pixels.
4.9 Activating the TACAN option
The TACAN (Tactical Air Navigation) option R&S EDS-K1 is implemented as a
USB stick. The TACAN stick is linked to the R&S EDS300 unambiguously via the
instrument's MAC address. The R&S EDS300 can evaluate TACAN signals only if
the TACAN stick with the TACAN software is inserted in one of the USB ports.
The TACAN stick must be inserted before the R&S EDS300 is switched on.
Do not remove the stick before switching off the R&S EDS300, or else the
application is closed.
When the R&S EDS300 firmware is started, the TACAN functionality is copied
from the stick to the RAM. After the R&S EDS300 is shut down, no TACAN func-
tionality remains in the instrument.
The TACAN stick cannot be used to store data; however, a second USB stick can
be connected simultaneously for data logging.
4.10 Switching on or off
The power state is indicated by two LEDs over the "Power" key.
