Risk of losing data
If you switch off the running instrument using the rear panel switch or by disconnecting
the power cord, the instrument loses its current settings. Furthermore, program data
can be lost.
Press the POWER key first to shut down the application properly.
Powering off also interrupts the power supply of the OCXO (option OCXO Reference
Frequency, R&S RTO-B4).
2.3.2 Starting Up and Shutting Down
The [Power] key is located in the bottom left corner of the front panel.
To start up the instrument
1. Make sure that the R&S RTO is connected to the AC power supply and the main
power switch on the rear panel is in position I.
2. Press the [Power] key on the front panel.
The instrument performs a system check, boots the Windows operating system,
and then starts the R&S
RTO firmware.
The [Power] key turns green and the illuminated keys on the front panel light up. If
the previous session was terminated regularly, the oscilloscope uses the last set-
tings.
To shut down the instrument
► Press the [Power] key on the front panel.
All current settings are saved, and the software shuts down. The standby power
only supplies the power switch circuits and the optional oven quartz (OCXO, option
R&S RTO-B4).
Now it is safe to power off the instrument.
The "Exit" function in the "File" menu shuts down only the firmware application. To shut
down the instrument completely, also shut down the operating system in the "Start"
menu, or use the [Power] key.
2.3.3 EMI Suppression
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) may affect the measurement results.
To suppress generated Electromagnetic Interference:
●
Use suitable shielded cables of high quality. For example use double-shielded RF
and LAN cables.
