configuration before the hardware is available. For details, see the Release Note for
your OSP firmware version.

The following example shows the necessary steps.

3.6.1 Simulated Module Configuration

Before you can configure a path in virtual mode, you must set up the desired
configuration.

Start the OSP Panel application, select --> Utility --> Virtual Mode, as shown below:

Note: Alternatively, right-click the OSP configuration structure in the left field.

OSP panel and Virtual Mode

No instrument must be connected to run OSP Panel in virtual mode (off-line).

A selection box pops up for setting up the “Simulated Module Configuration”.

Per default, OSP frame F01 is offered, which can either be model R&S OSP120 or
R&S OSP130.

The following three dialogs allow to configure the OSP module slots A11 to A13. See
screenshot below for a configuration of module R&S OSP-B121, R&S OSP-B122 and
R&S OSP-B103.
