Input signals
The maximum RF input levels at all SMA inputs according to the front panel labeling or
the data sheet must not be exceeded.
In addition, it is important that the signal fed in at the SMA inputs contains no DC off-
set, as this may impair the measurements and even cause damage to the instrument.
1.1.8 Additional Hardware Options
The following hardware options can be mounted on the right of the NAVIGATION and
SUPPORT keypads:
●
Option R&S
ZVA-B18, Removable Hard Disk, replaces the internal hard disk by a
removable compact flash card. The compact flash card can be inserted at the front
panel of the instrument. To ensure failure-free operation, avoid placing external
cables close to the compact flash card.
●
Option R&S
