R&S ® ESCI, ESL, ESPI, ESU, FSL, FSP, FSU, FSV
o Remote operation via LAN now enables to use a given port address (VISA normally uses
dynamic port assignment). When the remote communication needs to pass a firewall, then
only certain or fixed port addresses may be available. In order to use this feature ( raw
socket operation ), the VISA address needs to be entered as e.g.
"TCPIP::xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx::5025::SOCKET" (port address is 5025)
with the x characters replaced with the instrument s IP address.
R&S ® ESU with preamp option B24
o The latest extensions in the firmware concerning the settings of the optional preamp LNA
(option B24) are now fully supported.
Generic Amplifier supports Standby / Operate switching using a switch unit
o A new control mode is added to the generic amplifier, supporting to switch the amplifier to
either operate or standby, via two switch paths of a switch unit defined in the device list.
13.2 Improvements
● R&S ® BBA100
o Adaptation of the device driver to firmware version 1.11.
● R&S ® FSET 22
o In the 22 GHz mode now the available preamp selection are shown correctly.
● R&S ® ESxI
o An obsolete dependency with the tracking generator could block the level setting. This has
been removed.

results. The cause for this behavior has been removed.
● R&S ® SMA100A
o The driver supports now CW output power levels up to 16 dBm and for AM modulated
signals for a carrier level up to 10 dBm.
● RadiSens field probe in RadiCentre main frame
o A RadiSens field probe used via a RadiCentre main frame is now supported via GPIB using
the EMC32 device driver entry RadiCentre .
