4.2 Operating Conditions
Specific operating conditions are required to ensure accurate measurements and
to avoid damage to the R&S NRX and connected devices. Before switching on
the R&S NRX, observe the information on appropriate operating conditions provi-
ded in the basic safety instructions and the data sheet of the R&S NRX.
In particular, ensure the following:
●The R&S NRX is dry and shows no sign of condensation.
●The ambient temperature does not exceed the range specified in the data
sheet.
●Signal levels at the input connectors are all within the specified ranges.
●Signal outputs are connected correctly and are not overloaded.
4.3 Considerations for Test Setup
Preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge is most likely to occur when you connect or disconnect a
DUT or test fixture to the instrument's test ports.
►NOTICE! Risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
can damage the electronic components of the R&S NRX and the device under
test (DUT).
Ground yourself to avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage:
● Use a wrist strap and cord to connect yourself to the ground.
● Use a conductive floor mat and heel strap combination.
EMI impact on measurement results
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) may affect the measurement results.
To suppress generated electromagnetic interference (EMI):
●Use suitable shielded cables of high quality. For example, use double-shielded
RF and LAN cables.
●Always terminate open cable ends.
●Note the EMC classification in the data sheet.
