Virus protection
Take appropriate steps to protect your instruments from infection. Use strong fire-
wall settings and scan any removable storage device used with a
Rohde
&
Schwarz instrument regularly. It is also recommended that you install
anti-virus software on the instrument. Rohde
&
Schwarz does NOT recommend
running anti-virus software in the background ("on-access" mode) on Windows-
based instruments, due to potentially degrading instrument performance. How-
ever, Rohde
&
Schwarz does recommend running it during non-critical hours.
For details and recommendations, see the following Rohde
&
Schwarz white
