Limited storage space
The volatile memory used to store data in secure user mode is restricted to 256
MB.
Thus, a "Memory full" error can occur although the hard disk indicates that storage
space is still available.
Storing required data permanently
Any data that is to be available for subsequent sessions with the R&S
FSV/A must be
stored on the instrument permanently,
before activating the secure user mode
. This
includes predefined instrument settings, transducer factors and self-alignment data.
Self-alignment data
Note that self-alignment data becomes invalid with time and due to temperature
changes. Therefore, to achieve optimal accuracy, it may be preferable to perform a
new self-alignment at the start of each new session on the R&S
FSV/A.
Restricted operation
Since permanent storage is not possible, the following functions are not available in
secure user mode:
●
Firmware update
●
Activating a new option key
Furthermore, since the "SecureUser" used in secure user mode does not have admin-
istrator rights,
administrative tasks
such as LAN configuration and some general
instrument settings are not available. Refer to the description of the basic instrument
setup ([SETUP] menu) to find out which functions are affected.
Activating and deactivating secure user mode
Only a user with administrator rights can activate the secure user mode. Once activa-
ted, a restart is required. The special user "SecureUser" is then logged on to the
R&S
FSV/A automatically (using the automatic login function, see
on page 31). While the secure user mode is active, a message is displayed
in the status bar at the bottom of the screen.
Secure Passwords
By default, the initial password for both the administrator account ("Instrument") and
the "SecureUser" account is "894129". When the secure user mode is activated the
first time after installation, you are prompted to change the passwords for all user
accounts to improve system security. Although it is possible to continue without chang-
ing the passwords, it is strongly recommended that you do so.
You can change the password in Windows
10 for any user at any time via:
"Start > Settings > Account > SignIn Options > Password > Change"
To deactivate the secure user mode, the "SecureUser" must log off and the "Instru-
ment" user (administrator) must log on.
