IntelliScan

™
The IntelliScan command starts the automatic channel
scanning and selection feature, which searches all open
frequencies and sets all receivers in the system to the best
available and compatible frequencies (all frequencies will belong
to one frequency group). For more information on IntelliScan,
see the system manual. For more information on frequency
groups, see the system manual.
The IntelliScan process may take several minutes to complete.
To start IntelliScan:
1. Turn off all Artist Elite transmitters, and turn on all non-Artist
Elite transmitters, as well as other possible sources of RF.
2. Making certain you do not have PC Lock on, go to Tools >
IntelliScan .
3. In the popup window, enter the starting and ending
frequencies (useful if you want to scan only a narrow band
of frequencies). If no frequencies are entered, the entire
operating band will be scanned.
4. From the dropdown menu, choose the receiver you wish to
perform the scan, if other than the default receiver.
5. Click Start to begin the process (or Cancel to disregard
changes and return to the Main GUI window).
6. The Progress popup shows what frequency group is
currently being scanned, and a progress bar gives you an
idea of how long it will take to scan the current group.
7. When the process is complete, the Master(s) and all slave
receivers are set to compatible frequencies.
Note: If IntelliScan cannot locate enough available
frequencies , it will set as many receivers as it can. Any
remaining receivers will be set to the lowest frequency in
the band.
Caution: Any time you run IntelliScan, all
receivers are muted during this process .
Therefore, do not run IntelliScan at any time
when system muting would be undesirable!

Spectrum Analyzer

Use the Spectrum Analyzer to discover which frequencies
are occupied in your area and at what power level (in dBm).
If you run Spectrum Analyzer with your transmitters on, the
software will pick them up and show spikes on the graph;
if your transmitters are off, the test can show frequencies of
other transmitters or RF sources in your area.

Installing and Using the Software
(Continued)
To start Spectrum Analyzer:
1. Click on Tools > Spectrum Analyzer .
2. The Spectrum Analyzer popup appears. Enter the starting
and ending frequencies you wish to analyze, if necessary
(useful if you want to analyze only a narrow band of
frequencies or if you need to save time). Then, from the
dropdown menu, choose the receiver you wish to perform
the analysis.
3. Click Start to begin testing. This process may take several
minutes.
4. When the process is complete, the Progress popup
disappears and a chart of RF power vs. frequency is
displayed.
Caution: Any time you run Spectrum Analyzer,
all receivers are muted during this process .
Therefore, do not run Spectrum Analyzer at
any time when system muting would be
undesirable!

Coverage Test

The Coverage Test helps you determine where in the
performance area your transmitters are strongest and where
they are weakest by providing a graph of RF power vs. time.
You may choose from seven test-duration times ranging from
30 seconds to one hour.
To start Coverage Test:
1. Make certain the appropriate transmitter is on and has
sufficient battery power for the desired test period.
2. Click on Tools > Coverage Test .
3. The Coverage Test Setup popup appears. Select the test
duration from the Choose Test Duration dropdown menu.
4. From the Receiver dropdown menu, select the receiver that
corresponds to the transmitter being tested.
5. Click Start to begin the coverage test, or Cancel to return to
the main GUI window.

Reconnect to Network

Reconnect to Network causes the GUI to rescan the network
for AEW receivers. It is useful as a refresh feature if you add a
receiver to the system or make other network changes that
require a system update.
To reconnect to the network:
1. Click Tools > Reconnect to Network .
2. After closing the current connections, the software searches
for connected receivers on the network and refreshes the
GUI display.
Caution: Any time you Reconnect to Network,
all receivers are muted during this process .
Therefore, do not Reconnect to Network at
any time when system muting would be
undesirable!
