Risk of instrument damage due to inappropriate operating conditions
An unsuitable operating site or test setup can damage the instrument and
connected devices. Before switching on the instrument, observe the infor-
mation on appropriate operating conditions provided in the data sheet. In
particular, ensure the following:
●
All fan openings are unobstructed and the airflow perforations are unim-
peded. A minimum distance of 10
cm to other objects is recommended.
●
The instrument is dry and shows no sign of condensation.
●
The instrument is positioned as described in the following sections.
●
The ambient temperature does not exceed the range specified in the
data sheet.
●
Signal levels at the input connectors are all within the specified ranges.
●
Signal outputs are connected correctly and are not overloaded.
The base and extension modules
in the switch units are remotely oper-
ated via Ethernet (LAN) by the test software R&S
WMS32 (V10.60 or later).
Additionally, configuration of the R&S
OSP-B157WX requires the software
R&S
OSP Panel.
Manual operation of the modules or remote control operation via the R&S
OSP
Panel software tool is not possible.
