Risk of causing instrument unusability
The instrument is equipped with the Windows
7 operating system. Addi-
tional software can therefore be installed on the instrument. The use and
installation of additional software may impair instrument function. Thus, run
only programs that Rohde & Schwarz has tested for compatibility with the
instrument software.
The drivers and programs used on the instrument under Windows
7 have
been adapted to the instrument. Existing instrument software must always
be modified using only update software released by Rohde & Schwarz.
The following program packages have been tested:
●
R&S Power Viewer Plus - virtual power meter for displaying results of the
Power Sensor R&S NRP-Zxx (install only this component!)
●
Symantec Endpoint Security – Virus-protection software
●
FileShredder - for reliable deletion of files on the hard disk

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. However, it
does recommend running it during non-critical hours.

Service Packs and Updates
Microsoft regularly creates security updates and other patches to protect Win-
dows-based operating systems. These are released through the Microsoft Update
website and associated update server. Instruments using Windows, especially
those that connect to a network, should be updated regularly.
