What is the Device-ID?

Question

What is the Device-ID of R&S devices?

Answer

The Device-ID specifies the device to 100%.

It consist of three parts.

1. The material number

The material number is a 10 digit number either in the form:

1234.5678.90

or

1234.5678K90

The material number with the 'K' is used when it is a product which can be configurated.

2. The serial number

The serial number is a 6 digits number in the form:

123456

3. Two check digits

These are two digits which complements the Device-ID for a valid device and has the form:

aB

So the whole Device-ID has the form

1234.5678K90-123456-aB

and can be found on a sticker on the rear panel of the device or under the Setup in the device firmware.
