If the instrument temperature exceeds the limit specified in the data sheet, the
R&S
FSV/A automatically shuts down to protect the instrument from damage.
Risk of losing data
If you switch off the running instrument using the rear panel switch or by disconnecting
the power cord, the instrument loses its current settings. Furthermore, program data
can be lost.
Press the Power key first to shut down the application properly.

Performing a Self-Alignment and a Selftest
During instrument start, the installed hardware is checked against the current firmware
version to ensure that the hardware is supported. If not, an error message is displayed
("WRONG_FW") and you are asked to update the firmware. Until the firmware version
is updated, self-alignment fails and the instrument's performance is not as specified.
(For details refer to the R&S
FSV/A User Manual).
When temperature changes occur, you may have to perform a self-alignment to align
the data to a reference source. See the data sheet for details.
Operating temperature
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.
Performing a self-alignment
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.
To display the alignment results again later
