Mini front panel
The mini front panel provides only the keys on the touchscreen, to operate the
R&S
ESW via an external monitor or remote desktop.
By default, the "Auto close" option is activated and the mini front panel window closes
automatically after you select a key. This is useful if you only require the mini front
panel display occasionally to press a single function key.
If you want the window to remain open, deactivate the "Auto close" option. You can
close the window manually by selecting "Close planel" or the key combination [ALT +
M] (be aware of the keyboard language defined in the operating system!).
To display the soft front panel or mini front panel
1. Press the [Setup] key and select the "Display" softkey.
2. Select the "Displayed Items" tab.
3. Select "Front Panel": "On" or "Mini Front Panel": "On".
To activate or deactivate the front panel temporarily, press the [F6] key on the external
keyboard (if available) or on the remote computer.

Transducers
13.3.1
Transducer
Many EMC test setups contain a transducer (for example antennas, cables, probes or
current probes). The transducer converts the interference variables like field strength,
current or RFI voltage into a voltage across 50
Ω
. Because most transducers have a
characteristic frequency response, it is necessary to correct the measurement results
by the frequency characteristics of the transducer. These characteristics are defined in
a transducer factor or transducer sets.
The visible effect of a transducer is therefore a vertical shift of the results by the
amount defined in the transducer factor for each frequency point.
