Connecting USB Devices
The USB interfaces of the R&S
ESRP allow you to connect USB devices directly to the
instrument. Increase the number of possible connections using USB hubs. Due to the
large number of available USB devices, there is almost no limit to the expansions that
are possible with the R&S
ESRP.
The following list shows various USB devices that can be useful:
●
Memory stick for easy transfer of data to/from a computer (e.g. firmware updates)
●
CD-ROM drives for easy installation of firmware applications
●
Keyboard or mouse to simplify the entry of data, comments, filenames, etc.
●
Printer for printing measurement results
●
Power sensors, e.g. of the NRP Zxy family
Installing USB devices is easy under Windows, because all USB devices are
plug&play. After a device is connected to the USB interface, the operating system auto-
matically searches for a suitable device driver.
If Windows does not find a suitable driver, it prompts you to specify a directory that
contains the driver software. If the driver software is on a CD, connect a USB CD-ROM
drive to the instrument before proceeding.
When a USB device is then disconnected from the R&S
ESRP, Windows immediately
detects the change in hardware configuration and deactivates the corresponding driver.
All USB devices can be connected to or disconnected from the instrument during oper-
ation.
Connecting a memory stick or CD-ROM drive
If installation of a memory stick or CD-ROM drive is successful, Windows informs you
that the device is ready to use. The device is made available as a new drive and is dis-
played in Windows Explorer. The name of the drive depends on the manufacturer.
Connecting a keyboard
The keyboard is detected automatically when it is connected. The default input lan-
guage is English – US.
Select "Start > Settings > Time & language > Region & language > Add a language" to
configure the keyboard language. To access the Windows operating system, press the
Windows key on the external keyboard.
Connecting a mouse
The mouse is detected automatically when it is connected.
