Important Aspects 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.
