Chapter 5 Software Tools Program

Software Installation

The Site Master Software Tools program is a conventional Microsoft Windows program. Installation is similar to all other such programs. For users new to Windows, a detailed pro- cedure is given below.

Step 9. Insert the Anritsu Site Master Software Tools For Windows disk in the CDROM drive.

Step 10. Select Run under the Start menu.

Step 11. Type x:\SETUP, where x = the drive letter of the CDROM drive.

Step 12. Press the Enter key to select the default directory C:\Program Files\Site Master Software Tools\ and begin the Setup routine.

Step 13. When the Setup program prompts, select OK or press the Enter key to restart Windows.

NOTE: The Setup routine will create a new Program Group named “Site Master Software Tools”. This group will contain three file icons, “Read Me,” “Site Mas- ter Help,” and “Site Master Software Tools.”

Step 14. Double-click on the “Read Me” icon to read about recent changes that did not get into this manual and important features or problems that you should know about.

Step 15. Double-click on the “Site Master Help” icon to acquaint yourself with the com- prehensive on-line manual. This manual provides descriptive narrative for the various program features and controls.

Step 16. Double-click on the “Site Master Software Tools ” icon to open the Software Tools program.

Step 17. Click on Settings, in the top menu bar, and select COM Port. Enter the appro- priate COM port number for the serial interface cable (null modem type).

Plot Capture

Plots (traces) can be captured either singly from the Site Master display or in multiples from one or more stored-display locations. Both methods are described below.

The recommended method is to capture multiple traces to a database. In one operation, all of the data residing in the up-to-200 stored display memory locations in the Site Master can be downloaded to a database for easy data management.

NOTE: Trace scale can be captured as per Site Master or as autoscale by the capture program. To select per Site Master or autoscaling, click on Settings and Default Plot Settings from the top menu bar and pull-down menu.
