Prerequisites
In order to perform measurements with the R&S NESTOR application, the following
prerequisites apply:
For details on R&S NESTOR see the manual provided on the software DVD.
●
R&S NESTOR installation on the host PC (refer to the R&S NESTOR manual)
●
R&S NESTOR option on dongle inserted in host PC (refer to the R&S NESTOR
manual)
●
LAN connection between the R&S TSME and the host PC (note the special LAN
adapter requirements specified in Chapter 2.2.2, "Setting Up the LAN Connection
to the Host PC" , on page 16)
●
Required technology options installed on the R&S TSME (see Chapter 1.3.1,
"Technology Options" , on page 8 and Chapter 4.4, "Installing and Managing Soft-
ware License Keys" , on page 46)
●
Software options installed on the host PC (see information on the NESTOR product
page on the Rohde
& Schwarz website: https://www.rohde-schwarz.com/product/
NESTOR > "Options")
In particular, NESTOR SCN 1521.5031.xx (R&S Scanner Driver) is always required
to operate the R&S
TSME.
After the R&S TSME has finished booting, start the R&S NESTOR software applica-
tion.
If a connection to this application cannot be established correctly, check the firewall
settings (see
Chapter 6.2, "Guide to Solving Instrument Connection Problems" ,
on page 60)
Automatic firmware updates
Each time R&S NESTOR is started, the software automatically compares the firmware
version of the connected R&S TSME with the version currently available on the host
PC. If a newer version is available, it is copied to and installed on the R&S TSME. Up
to two previously installed firmware versions are stored as backups and maintained on
the R&S
TSME (see also Table 4-1 ). Thus, it is not necessary to perform firmware
updates on the R&S TSME manually.
For details and information on how to configure R&S NESTOR and carry out measure-
ments with the R&S TSME, refer to the R&S NESTOR manual.
