The Keysight PNA network analyzers make use of Embedded Operating Systems (EOS) technology. The EOS is a standard personal computer-based operating system. The PNA is essentially a network analyzer with a personal computer behind the front panel.
EOS devices, including the PNA, may be connected to computer networks. When connected, these devices are open to numerous security exploits, worms, and viruses. In addition, they can become a threat to other EOS devices, servers, end-user PCs, and to the network itself.
Precautions are taken to ensure that the PNA has no security issues, such as worms or viruses, prior to shipping. To maintain the health of the PNA, it is recommended that you install anti-virus software and the latest service packs on the PNA before connecting the PNA to a computer network.
On your 86100C, you can access Microsoft Windows XP Professional just as you would on your personal computer. Use Windows XP Professional to manage files and folders, add, remove, and setup printing, configure networking, and install applications. The ability to access the operating system is not available on 86100A/B instruments.
Although the 86100C is an instrument and not a personal computer, the operating system is accessible. This makes it possible for you to install applications such as virus protection software. If the performance of the Infiniium DCA application decreases while running other applications, you may need to close those applications that are demanding processor resources. It is also suggested that you schedule automatic virus scans for times when you are not making measurements. Refer to the 86100C Help for complete information.
You can download a .pdf version of PLTS Help which can be easily printed. Visit www.Keysight.com and search for PLTS. To print individual Help topics click the Print icon at the top of the Help window.
When installed with PLTS, this Help file is located at C:/ Winnt/ Help/ PLTSHelp.chm. It can be copied to other PCs as a stand-alone file.
The following rules apply for using full-text search:
Searches are not case-sensitive.
You can search for any combination of letters (a-z) and numbers (0-9).
Punctuation marks (period, colon, semicolon, comma, and hyphen) are ignored during a search.
You can group the words of your search using double quotes or parentheses. Examples: "response calibration" or (response calibration). This requirement makes it impossible to search for quotation marks.
Use Wildcard expressions:
To search for one undefined character use a question mark (?). For example, searching for cal? will find calc and calf.
To search for more than one undefined character use an asterisk (*). Searching for Cal* will find calibration and calculate.
Use Boolean operators to define a relationship between two or more search words.
