4 Getting
Started
This chapter
Chapter 4 uses a number of simple measurements to illustrate how to oper-
ate the R&S FS300.
For the following example, the initial setting for instrument is the default set-
ting (factory). This is set by pressing the PRESET key in the menu ( 6-153).
The full default setup is described in chapter 6.
Further
information
Chapter 5 contains an in-depth explanation of the basic operating steps, for
example selecting menus and setting parameters. The layout of the screen
and the information displayed on the screen are also described.
Chapter 6 describes all the R&S FS300‘s menus and the associated func-
tions in detail.

Task
ATTENTION
The input stage of the R&S FS300 can be destroyed by overloads or DC
components. If there is a possibility that the limits specified in the data sheet
may be violated, the input must be protected with an attenuator and/or a DC
block.
Measurement
problem
Determining the level and frequency of a signal is one of the most common
measurements a spectrum analyzer is used to make. Often, when making
these measurements on an unknown signal, the PRESET settings (factory)
are chosen as a suitable initial setup ( 6-153).
Solution
The center frequency (CENTER), the SPAN and the MARKER functions play
a key role in level and frequency measurements.
