2.8 Self Alignment
The R&S®HMO Compact series features an integrated self
alignment procedure to achieve the highest possible accu-
racy. During the standard self alignment the instrument ad-
justs vertical accuracy, offset, time base and several trig-

nally. To start the self alignment in the SETUP menu, press
the soft menu key SELF ALIGNMENT and press the START
key. The procedure will run for about 5-10 minutes. Each
step and its corresponding progress will be shown in a bar
display.
The instrument must have reached the required operating tempe-
rature (switched on for at least 20 minutes) and all inputs must
be unused, in other words all cables and probes must be removed
from the inputs.
