anti-virus software on the instrument. Rohde & Schwarz does NOT recommend
running anti-virus software in the background ("on- access" mode) on Windows-
based instruments, due to potentially degrading instrument performance. How-
ever, Rohde & Schwarz does recommend running it during non-critical hours.

3.2.2 Service Packs and Updates
Microsoft regularly creates security updates and other patches to protect Win-
dows-based operating systems. These are released through the Microsoft Update
website and associated update server. Instruments using Windows, especially
those that connect to a network, should be updated regularly.

3.2.3 Login
Windows requires that users identify themselves by entering a user name and
password in a login window. By default, the R&S FPL1000 provides two user
accounts:
●
"Instrument": a standard user account with limited access
●
"Administrator": an administrator account with unrestricted access to the
computer/domain
Some administrative tasks require administrator rights (e.g. the configuration of a
LAN network). Refer to the description of the basic instrument setup (SETUP
menu) to find out which functions are affected.
Automatic login
For the standard instrument account, an automatic login function is active by
default. If activated, login is carried out automatically in the background when the
R&S FPL1000 is started, without having to enter a password. This function is
active until an administrator explicitly deactivates it or changes the password.
For information on how to deactivate or reactivate the automatic login, refer to
Chapter 3.2.3.1, "Automatic Login Function", on page 23.
