Reconfiguring a signal path for a specific application
1. Select a block to the left supporting the firmware application to be configured.
Example: For the first instance of a measurement select the uppermost "BB Mea-
surement" block.
2. Press the softkey "Edit Routing".
The "Edit Routing" dialog opens.
3. Select the application and configure the signal routing settings top down.
The available parameters depend on the application and can also be accessed via
the configuration dialog of the application. For a description of individual parameters
and values please refer to the documentation of the application.
Usually there are dependencies between the parameters. Configuring a parameter
may modify the set of supported values for parameters below and to the right. For
that reason configure the parameters top down and from left to right.
4. Close the dialog.
Switching to "Active Routing" mode
► Use the softkey "Show Active Routing" to switch to this mode.
5.8 System Messages
System messages give information about exceptional states of the instrument. If possible,
the messages also describe necessary user interactions. The R&S CMW500 uses dif-
ferent types of messages, depending on the source and nature of the described situation.
Tooltips
Tooltips are short pieces of text that are displayed in a yellow, rectangular field.
Fig. 5-23: Example of a tooltip
If used as a system message, a tooltip usually informs about unusual measurement con-
ditions, e.g. due to a missing signal or inappropriate measurement settings. Check the
preconditions for the measurement at the beginning of each measurement description.
