ROHDE & SCHWARZ TSME6 (01) PDF Document

The 4 status LEDs located behind the right side of the rear panel display the following states:

LEDs ON: The ROHDE & SCHWARZ TSME6 is ready for operation, and RF-PLLs are initialized correctly.

LEDs OFF: The ROHDE & SCHWARZ TSME6 is off or RF-PLLs are initialized incorrectly.

Note: If the fans are off (temperature on the controller board is less than 60° C), the LEDs may be partially covered by the fan blades.

To switch the instrument on:

1. Use the supplied power cable to connect the power supply to the instrument.

2. After the power cable is connected, the ROHDE & SCHWARZ TSME6 is powered on.

To switch the instrument off:

Press the On/Off key on the rear panel. The instrument changes to standby mode. In standby mode, program execution stops, but the instrument is still connected to power.

Note: If you remove the power supply and reconnect it later, the instrument automatically boots when power returns.

The LEDs on the LAN connector indicate the status of the connection to the host PC. LED 1 is on the left side of the connector, and LED 2 is on the right.

LED 1 State	Description
Green	Connection established
Green, blinking	LAN sending or receiving, or identifying connected device

LED 2 State	Description
Off	No connection
Yellow	Physical connection established
Yellow, blinking	Identifying connected device

STATE LED	POWER LED	Meaning
Off	Off	No power supply connected at DC IN, power supply off, or power supply less than 10 V

Red, blinking 2 Hz	Green	Temperature warning (controller board temperature = 75° C … 80° C)
Red (continuous)	Green	Temperature error (controller board temperature above 80° C)

The ROHDE & SCHWARZ TSME6 supports voltages from 10 V to 28 V via the DC IN connector on the rear panel. There is no need to manually set the voltage.

Using the cigarette lighter power supply: Connect the supplied power cable from the ROHDE & SCHWARZ TSME6 to the cigarette lighter socket.

Using a proprietary power supply: Demount the cigarette lighter adapter from the supplied power cable and connect the open ends to the proprietary power supply. Ensure you respect the correct polarity.

1. Screw the connecting elements on the top of the first ROHDE & SCHWARZ TSME6 (Torque: 0.66 Nm ± 0.05 Nm).

2. Align the connecting elements with the holes on the bottom of a second ROHDE & SCHWARZ TSME6 and press the device down.

3. Push the first device to the front until the mechanism locks.

To disconnect, lift the release button on the pane of the upper device and slide it until it is released.

To control the ROHDE & SCHWARZ TSME6, configure the host PC LAN interface as follows:

1. Access “Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center”.

2. Select “Change adapter settings”.

3. Double-click the LAN interface connected to the device and select “Properties”.

4. Select “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and click “Properties”.

5. Configure TCP/IP settings:

For “Auto-IP” operating mode: Select “Obtain an IP address automatically”.

For “Static IP” operating mode: Select “Use the following IP address” (IP address: 192.168.0.1 recommended, Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0, No Default Gateway).

6. Enable 9-kB-jumbo frames by returning to “Local Area Connection Properties”, selecting “Configure”, switching to the “Advanced” tab, selecting “Jumbo Packet” (or “Jumbo Frames”), and setting the value to “9014 Bytes”.

If the firewall is active, ensure the following ports and addresses are allowed:

RxPort (TSME6->PC): Port 17476

TxPort (PC->TSME6): Port 5140 and 16962

Multicast IP address for TSME: 224.17.4.76

Multicast Address for TSME6: 239.192.1.7

IP-Address of TSME6 (e.g., 192.168.0.2)

Allow UDP Protocol and Multicast Protocol.

Allow executed applications (e.g., ROMES, NESTOR, TsmeDeviceManager).

1. Mount the ROHDE & SCHWARZ TSME6 fixed to the frame of a car.

2. Power on the device.

3. Activate “Dead Reckoning” in the used software (R&S ROMES, R&S NESTOR, or R&S ViCom).

4. Wait until the software reports a “3D fix”.

5. Calibrate the instrument by performing the following driving procedures in a safe environment:

a) 720 degrees right turn.

b) 720 degrees left turn.

c) Drive a straight line with a velocity exceeding 40 km/h.

Note: Calibration must be repeated whenever the device is switched off.

1. Switch on the ROHDE & SCHWARZ TSME6 and the host PC.

2. Start the application (R&S ROMES, R&S NESTOR, or R&S ViCom) on the host PC.

3. The application will search for the device. If detected for the first time, it downloads calibration files (this may take a few minutes).

4. If a Windows Security Alert appears regarding the firewall, allow the specified application modules to communicate on all three network types (domain, private, public). Ensure “TSME Device Manager” and “tsmeping” are allowed.

You can change the IP address using the R&S TSME Device Manager:

1. Open the “Network Configuration” tab in the Device Manager.

2. Input the desired IP address in the corresponding input fields.

3. Select the “Accept Network Changes” button.

Note: The default IP address is 192.168.0.2.

Prerequisites: PC is connected via Gbit LAN adapter with Jumbo Frames enabled, and the 30-digit key code or key file is available.

1. Open the R&S TSME Device Manager and go to the “Options” tab.

2. Enter the 30-digit key code in the “Key” field or use the “Browse” button to select the key file.

3. Select the “Install” button.

4. The key will appear in the “Active Options” list.

1. Install all required software license keys first.

2. Open the R&S TSME Device Manager and go to the “Band Configuration” tab.

3. Select the bands to be scanned in the “Band Table”.

4. Select the “Accept Band Changes” button.

Note: Within any 48-hour period, the band configuration may only be changed up to 5 times.

1. In the R&S TSME Device Manager, select the serial number of the device to be updated.

2. Go to the “Updates” tab.

3. Select the “Update” button for either the “Basic FPGA” or the “Correction Data”.

4. When updating correction data, select a directory to store a backup of the current correction data.

Important: Ensure a stable power supply and LAN connection during the update. Do not install an update unless recommended by a message in the “Device Analysis Output”.

To determine alignment values for the I/Q filter, ADC offset, and I/Q imbalance:

1. Open the R&S TSME Device Manager.

2. Go to the “Self Alignment” tab.

3. Select the “Start Self Alignment” button.

Follow these troubleshooting steps:

1. Check if LED 2 on the LAN connector is blinking. If no, switch the device off and back on.

2. Check host adapter settings: Ensure fixed IP is in the same subnet, IP is unique, Jumbo frames (9k) are enabled, max 4 devices are connected to one adapter, and USBtoLAN is via USB 3.0.

3. Check if LED 1 is green and LED 2 is blinking. If yes, check host configuration.

4. Verify firewall settings: Ensure application has permitted access and is running as administrator.

5. Start TSME Device Manager to see if the device is detected.

You can check the setting using the command line:

1. Run the command:

netsh interface ipv4 show interfaces

2. The “MTU” value in the indicated line must be larger than 9000.

If not enabled, use the command:

netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface [Idx] mtu=9000 store=persistent

(where [Idx] is the network Id of the LAN adapter).
