Such files may have long file names and/or include lower case characters and additional characters such as ?. The instrument will correctly list all such files that conform with an 8.3 naming system and which have the correct extension for the relevant folder.

  • Page 44: Upgrade Option U02

    6.1 Additional Functions from Option U02 Installing Option U02 provides the additional functions listed below. Further functions may have been added since this manual was written - see the Aim-TTi website for up to date information. 6.1.1 Scan Mode Scan mode is a different mode of operation in which a frequency span can be captured at a much higher resolution of up to 210,000 points.

  • Page 45: Compensation Tables

    PSA-Manager software is provided on the support CD supplied with the product and the latest version is free to download from the support section of the Aim-TTi website. It has limited functionality for instruments that do not have option U02 fitted but can be useful for displaying and printing traces and screen images.

  • Page 46: Further Notes On Operation

    7 Further Notes on Operation 7.1 Signal Overload Levels and Indication The maximum input level without damage is +25dBm or +132dBuV of RF power (approximately 4 volts RMS), or 50V DC. The maximum signal that can be measured is +20dBm with the Reference level set to +20dBm. Signals that would cause the trace to rise above the reference level are indicated by a red arrow at the top of the graticule.

  • Page 47: Set By Keypad

    pressing this key will bring up either the Set by Keypad screen or the Set by Tab/Jog screen depending upon which one was last used for setting that frequency Centre parameter. 7.3.1 Set by Keypad This control screen replaces the menu with a 0 to 9 keypad.

  • Page 48: Repetitive Operations

    Wider Span Having set a frequency span in which the signals of interest are visible, the user may wish to examine a wider span in order to see further signals not currently visible. One method of doing this is to zoom out from the Span sub-group menu (Freq/Span > Span > Zoom) which shows frequencies both above and below the current span.

  • Page 49: Measuring Relative Amplitude

    7.4 Measuring Relative Amplitude When both measurement markers are turned on, a readout is provided of the difference between them in terms of both frequency and level. A common requirement is to measure the signal amplitude at a specific frequency under different conditions.
  • Page 50 allowing potential images of signals at the reference level to exceed the noise floor by a user- defined amount before action is initiated. The Threshold key can be used to set the tolerated image level to be 0dB (default), 3dB, 6dB, or 12dB above the noise floor with the current RBW for a signal at the reference level.

  • Page 51: Revealing The Image

    Distortion and non-linearities within the analog circuitry of the instrument can create very low level signals that could be visible for settings where the noise floor is very low. These are referred to as Spurii. DC Modes have the further advantage of reducing Spurii. 7.5.3 Revealing the Image The multiple IF frequencies used within the PSA Series 5 can result in a group of up to three images appearing close together at around 20MHz below the signal frequency.

  • Page 52: Radiated And Injected Signals

    7.6 Radiated and Injected Signals 7.6.1 Self-radiated Signals In common with most handheld spectrum analyzers, low level signals generated from the internal circuitry can be picked up with an antenna. Indicative measurements made with a 30cm (12”) whip antenna, mounted directly onto the signal connector and extending in line with the instrument, showed self-radiated peaks typically around -90dBm.

  • Page 53: Triggered Operation

    7.8 Triggered Operation Triggered operation is only available when the upgrade option U02 is fitted (see section 6). Triggering is used either to start or stop the sweep, or to initiate logging of sweeps or screen images. The trigger can be generated manually (by a key press), externally (from the trigger input) or internally from the sweep in combination with a limit line or limit pattern.

  • Page 54: Limit Lines & The Limits Comparator | Creating Limit Patterns

    A compensation table file is loaded in a similar way to other types of file using a File Recall screen - see section 5.4 . Note that compensation tables and limit patterns are both placed in a folder called Tables and can therefore appear within the same File Utilities screen.

  • Page 55: Creating And Loading Limit Patterns

    The Limit Action can be set to None, Beep, Pulse Out, Beep and Pulse Out together, or Message. The action only takes places when the sweep has completed. The Pulse Out is provided at the Trigger socket - see section 7.8.2. Regardless of the setting of the Trigger Action, it is also possible to use the limit condition to stop the sweep (see section 4.3.4.2) or to create an entry into a logging file (see section 7.11.5).

  • Page 56: The Logging Function

    7.11 The Logging Function The Logging function is only available when the upgrade option U02 is fitted (see section 6). A description of the menu keys used to control the function is given in section 4.7.1. The logging function saves results into log files within the memory of the instrument. The type of result saved can be selected as Centre Level (logs only the amplitude at the centre frequency), Peak Level (logs the frequency and amplitude of the highest peak in every sweep), Full Trace (logs the whole trace) or Screen Image (logs the whole screen as a bit-map image).

  • Page 57: Manual Logging

    File Utilities: displays a list of logging files currently within the instrument. Operates similarly to other file utilities screens – see section 5.5. 7.11.2 Manual Logging The logging function can be set via the Log Trigger key to save entries in response to a manual key press.

  • Page 58: Viewing And Analyzing Logging Files

    Although the filing system allows up to 999 .LOG files to be stored, the practical number may be limited by the internal memory size (approximately 1.8GB). Where large files are being created, care must be taken not to overflow the memory. Memory space can be restored by copying files to a Flash drive or directly to a PC, and then deleting them on the instrument.

  • Page 59: Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (Acpr)

    Setting the channel bandwidth and turning the measurement function on causes two yellow markers to be positioned at the channel limits, equidistant from the centre frequency. The Channel Power is shown in dBm. 7.12.2 Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR) This measures the relative power, in dBm, of a main channel to its higher and lower adjacent channels.

  • Page 60: Scan Mode

    8 Scan Mode 8.1 Scan Mode Explanation Scan mode is a facility which enables spans to be analyzed with a higher resolution than in normal sweep mode. In scan mode the analyzer creates a file containing data that would normally be discarded. This high resolution file can be analyzed using the display of the PSA, on a PC using PSA-Manager, or exported as a CSV file for use with other programs.

  • Page 61: Saving, Recalling And Exporting Scan Mode Files

    8.1.4 Saving, Recalling and Exporting Scan Mode Files The files created from scan mode can be saved in a similar way to trace files. These can be recalled to the display of the PSA or can be exported to a PC for display and analysis using PSA-Manager or third party software.

    9 USB Connections | File System & Files Types 9.1.1 Understanding USB Connections The instrument has two USB ports only one of which may be used at a time. The required port is accessed by a sliding shutter which ensures that only the exposed port can be used. The Type A port presents a USB host interface which will accept flash drives conforming to the USB Mass Storage Class (MSC).

  • Page 66: Linking To A Pc Via Usb

    Note that, whenever the File Ops function is first used after a USB Flash Drive has been plugged in or the instrument has been switched off, the files on the Flash Drive will be interrogated and an information message will appear asking the user to wait for this to take place.

  • Page 67: Trace Files

    9.2.3 Trace Files A trace file represents the swept trace as appears upon the screen. A trace file can be recalled to the screen as a reference trace (purple). The file consists of a set of 271 values representing the trace amplitude from left to right across the screen in CSV (comma separated variable) format, plus additional information that defines the frequency span, RBW, VBW and reference level.

  • Page 68: Compensation Tables

    9.2.6.2 Compensation Tables Compensation tables are normalised files of amplitude versus frequency which must be created outside of the instrument using PSA-Manager software. They are a few kilobytes in size. They files have the extension .CMP and are located in the folder named TABLES. Files can be transferred using either a USB Flash drive, or by direct connection to the USB port of a PC.
