Selecting measurement mode

When you select the measurement mode, the R&S TSMA6B must be
switched off.

4.5.1

 

Normal mode

The scanner and the CPU are active. The scanner is connected to the CPU via
internal LAN interface.

To use the R&S TSMA6B in normal mode, proceed as follows.

1. Use a pointed object to push the CPU switch (1) to position I (left).

2. After a power cycle, the R&S TSMA6B starts in normal mode.

After the boot process has finished, the Status LED "Mode" (see 

Figure 5-2

 - 9)

indicates the normal mode by following color scheme.

lights up blue continuously
WLAN access point = on

lights up green continuously
WLAN access point = off

4.5.2

 

Scanner mode

You can use the R&S TSMA6B as scanner only. In this case, the R&S TSMA6B
behaves like a R&S TSME6. The internal CPU is not powered, only the scanner
is switched on.
