Remote command:
Abort Self Alignment
As long as the self-alignment data is being collected, the procedure can be canceled
using the "Abort Self Alignment" button.
Note:
If you start a self-alignment remotely, then select the "Local" softkey while the
alignment is still running, the instrument only returns to the manual operation state
after the alignment is completed. In this case, you cannot abort a self-alignment man-
ually.
Await Warm-Up Operation before Self Alignment
Displays a message indicating the remaining warmup time required before self-align-
ment is performed. After the warmup operation has completed, self-alignment is star-
ted automatically.
Schedule
If enabled, a self-alignment is performed regularly at specific days and time.
Shut down Device after Self Alignment
If activated, the R&S
FSMR3 is automatically shut down after self-alignment is comple-
ted. Note that the instrument cannot be restarted via remote control.
Reuse Old Alignment Data
If data from a previous self-alignment is available on the instrument, it can be reused
even though the instrument claims the instrument is uncalibrated. This is useful, for
example, after activating a software option or updating the firmware to a beta version.
After rebooting the instrument, you must re-activate this function if you still want to
reuse the old alignment data.
Note, however, that
re-using old alignment data can lead to inaccurate measure-
ment results, or even cause the R&S
FSMR3 firmware to fail altogether
. For mea-
surements using old alignment data, an [OLD CAL] message is indicated in the status
bar (instead of [UNCAL], which indicates that a new self-alignment is actually
required.)
