Uploading Antenna Factors
All 10 available antennas are transferred to the instrument at the same time. To modify only
a single antenna in the instrument, first download the current antennas (see below) then
modify the appropriate antenna, then re-upload the antennas to the instrument.
To upload antenna information from Handheld Software Tools to the CUSTOM list in the
instrument:
Step 1. Connect the RS232 cable between the PC and the instrument.
Step 2. Click on the Upload button on the tool bar (or select Upload from the Tools
menu). It is important to note that the instrument must sweep very quickly dur-
ing the data transfer, at least every 5 seconds, or the Handheld Software Tools
program may "time-out." To improve the chances of a successful upload, in-
crease the RBW and VBW settings to the maximum, or set the span to 0, tempo-
rarily.
Step 3. The antennas available can be viewed by pressing the MEAS key, then the Field
Strength and Select Custom Antenna soft keys.
Downloading Antenna Factors
All 10 antennas can be downloaded to the PC from the instrument. This allows for modifi-
cations to the antenna factors of an antenna or the addition or deletion of available antennas
from the list.
The antennas can then be uploaded to the instrument. To download the antennas:
Step 1. Connect the RS232 cable between the PC and the instrument.
Step 2. Verify that the instrument is sweeping at a sweep rate faster than 5 sec-
onds/sweep.
Step 3. Select the Query Antenna Factors button in the Antenna Editor.
Step 4. Modify the desired antenna(s).
