●How to Read Firmware Application Chapters......................................................... 10
1.1 Documentation Overview
This section provides an overview of the R&S CMW user documentation. Most docu-
ments are available in PDF format. You can download them from the CMW customer
web.
The CMW customer web is a section of GLORIS, the global Rohde & Schwarz infor-
mation system, see https://extranet.rohde-schwarz.com. A registration is required.
Getting started manual / quick start guide
Depending on the instrument model, there is either a getting started manual or a quick
start guide.
The document introduces the R&S CMW and describes how to set up and start work-
ing with the product.
Online help
The online help is embedded in the software. It offers quick, context-sensitive access
to the information needed for operation and programming.
If you perform a software update, the corresponding part of the online help is also
updated.
User manual
The user manual provides the same information as the online help. The manual is split
into several PDF files:
●The base unit manual describes the base software and common features of the
firmware applications. It also describes basic principles for manual operation and
remote control. The manual includes the contents of the getting started manual /
quick start guide.
●Additional documents, like this one, describe the firmware applications, including
the graphical user interface of each application and the remote control commands.
Features & functions
The features & functions documents list the available software options and the related
features, settings and measurement results.
Documentation Overview

Preface
R&S®CMW-KM5xx/-KS5xx
10User Manual 1173.9628.02 ─ 24
Basic safety instructions
Contains safety instructions, operating conditions and further important information.
The printed document is delivered with the instrument.
Data sheet and brochure
The data sheet contains the technical specifications of the R&S CMW.
The brochure provides an overview of the instrument and deals with the specific char-
acteristics.
Release notes and open source acknowledgment (OSA)
The release notes list new features, improvements and known issues per software ver-
sion and installation package.
The open source acknowledgment provides verbatim license texts of the used open
source software.
Application notes, application cards, white papers, etc.
These documents deal with special applications or background information on particu-
lar topics, see www.rohde-schwarz.com/appnotes.
1.2 R&S CMW Models
The R&S CMW software supports several instrument models. Depending on the
model, only a subset of the software packages and software options is allowed.
To check whether this document is relevant for your instrument model and which soft-
ware options are supported, refer to the preface of your model-specific base unit man-
ual. The PDF filename of this manual starts with CMW<Model>_UserManual, for
example CMW500_UserManual.
1.3 How to Read Firmware Application Chapters
Each firmware application is described in a separate chapter. These chapters can be
read independently of each other. However, they are all organized as follows:
1. General description
2. Application sheets (optional)
3. GUI reference
4. Programming examples
5. Command reference
