7 General Instrument Functions
The general instrument functions include basic instrument settings, regardless of the
selected operating mode and measurement. Some of these settings like screen display
and peripherals are initially configured at the setup of the instrument, according to per-
sonal preferences and requirements. However, you can individually adjust the settings
at any time, for example, if necessary for specific applications.
The following special functions help you in service and basic system configuration:
●
Chapter 7.1, "Customizing the User Interface" , on page 102
Allows you to adjust the display and keyboard language settings.
●
Chapter 7.3, "Managing Licenses and License Keys" , on page 110
If you have purchased an additional option for the R&S AREG100A, you can
enable it using a license key.
●
Chapter 6.2, "Restoring the (Default) Instrument Configuration" , on page 76
At any time, you can restore a default configuration to start a measurement at a
defined instrument state, or set the instrument to factory preset.
●
Chapter 7.4, "Using the Security Settings" , on page 113
Special security and protection functions protect your instrument from unauthorized
use or activate specific test routines.
7.1 Customizing the User Interface
The R&S AREG100A provides basic alignments of instrument settings regarding the
user interface, that means the touch panel (screen), the appearance of the displayed
dialogs and graphics, and an external keyboard.
Start / stop display update
The operating system of the R&S AREG100A refreshes the displayed settings by
default in almost real-time, to keep the display updated with the internally used values.
However, you can turn off this function to reduce settling times when the instrument is
remote controlled.
