Performing a Self-Alignment
When strong temperature changes occur in the environment of the R&S
FPL1000, or
after updating the firmware, you have to perform a self-alignment to align the data to a
reference source.
During self-alignment, do not connect a signal to the RF input connector. Running a
self-alignment with a signal connected to the RF input can lead to false measurement
results.
Performing a self-alignment
Before performing this functional test, make sure that the instrument has reached its
operating temperature (for details, refer to the data sheet).
A message in the status bar ("Instrument warming up...") indicates that the operating
temperature has not yet been reached.
Depending on the installation settings, an automatic self-alignment is performed each
time the instrument is switched on. A dialog box is displayed indicating how much
warm-up time is still required before self-alignment can be performed.
1. Press the [Setup] key.
2. Press the "Alignment" softkey.
3. Select the "Start Self Alignment" button in the "Alignment" dialog box.
Once the system correction values have been calculated successfully, a message
is displayed.
