3.2 Windows Operating System
The instrument contains the Windows operating system which has been config-

setup are only required when peripherals like keyboard or a printer are installed
or if the network configuration does not comply with the default settings. After the

is started automatically.
To ensure that the instrument software functions properly, certain rules must be
adhered to concerning the operating system.
