Provides information on security issues when working with R&S®AFQ100A in secure areas.

Provides the information required to prepare the instrument for use and start working.Basic operations and handling are described.

This application note describes how to use the Rohde & Schwarz software tool ‘RsBatchConvert.exe’ for the conversion of binary data or WinIQSIM generated AMIQ waveforms into the new waveform format. The tool not only rescales I/Q data contained in the file but also changes the K-option requirement from WinIQSIM Kxx to the new WinIQSIM2 K2xx options. Thus, new instruments with installed K2xx options may be used to continue using existing waveform files.

Describes the specific functions of the application. Information required to install and prepare the software for use and start working, as well as the remote connection to Rohde&Schwarz instruments are described.The application is supported by the following products:R&S®SMBV100A, R&S®SMU200A, R&S®SMATE200A, R&S®SMJ100A, R&S®AMU200A and the I/Q modulation generators R&S®AFQ100A and R&S®AFQ100B.For information on operating the product see the corresponding user manual.

Rohde & Schwarz signal generators can be connected in various ways to system controllers (typically PCs) and external PC peripherals. Although most of these connection operations are also explained in the instrument manuals, it is not always easy to maintain an overview. Operating manuals commonly focus on explaining a dedicated feature of a single instrument. This application note examines a range of typical user tasks and how to solve them with the different instruments.
