9 General Instrument Setup
Some basic instrument settings can be configured independently of the selected oper-
ating mode or application. Usually, you will configure most of these settings initially
when you set up the instrument according to your personal preferences or require-
ments and then only adapt individual settings to special circumstances when neces-
sary. Some special functions are provided for service and basic system configuration.

9.1 Basics on Alignment
When you put the instrument into operation for the first time or when strong tempera-
ture changes occur, it may be necessary to align the data to a reference source (see
also
"Temperature check" on page 566).
During instrument start, the installed hardware is checked against the current firmware
version to ensure the hardware is supported. If not, an error message is displayed
("WRONG_FW") and you are asked to update the firmware. Until the firmware version
is updated, self-alignment fails.
The correction data and characteristics required for the alignment are determined by
comparison of the results at different settings with the known characteristics of the
high-precision calibration signal source at 64 MHz.
Alignment results
The alignment results are displayed and contain the following information:
●
date and time of last correction data record
●
overall results of correction data record
●
list of found correction values according to function/module
The results are classified as follows:
PASSED Calibration successful without any restrictions
CHECK Deviation of correction value larger than expected, correction could however be per-
formed
FAILED Deviations of correction value too large, no correction was possible. The found cor-
rection data is not applicable.
