Switching on or off R&S TSME6
To switch on the device
1. Use the supplied power cable to connect the power supply to the instrument.
2. After the power cable is connected, the R&S TSME6 is powered on.
After booting, the instrument switches to the idle mode and is ready to be accessed by
an application.
To shut down the device
When you press the On/Off key on the rear panel of the R&S TSME6 to switch it off,
the instrument changes to standby mode. In standby mode, the program execution on
the instrument is stopped immediately, but the instrument is still under power connec-
tion.
Do not switch off the instrument while a connection to the application software is being
established, otherwise the application might not be able to close properly. As a result,
the software could crash and must be shut down from the Windows Task Manager.
Removing the power supply
If you remove the power supply and reconnect it later, the instrument automatically
boots when power returns.
