Using Autostart

Using Autostart

“Autostart” is a feature of the Test Set’s IBASIC controller and is used to customize the instrument for a specific task. The autostart feature allows you to “flip a switch” to configure the Test Set to automatically run whatever program is currently stored in its non-volatile memory when the instrument is first turned on.

Turning On the	If you would like your Test System to “boot up” into the main menu of the
Autostart Feature	CDMA/PCS BS Test Software screen, follow these steps:
	1	Scroll to and select Go to Spectrum Analyzer @ Present Chan. This is
		done only to pause the Software in a known state.
	2	Press the TESTS key.
	3	Scroll to and select Execution Cond.
	4	Scroll to the last field at the bottom of the screen and set Autostart Test
		Procedure on Power-up to On.
	5	To return to the Software’s main menu press SHIFT, then k1, then ENTER.
	With this setting, whenever you apply power to the Test Set it will automatically
	run the Software program loaded in non-volatile memory. This will configure the
	Test Set to act as a “CDMA tester” (assuming that the CDMA/PCS Software is
	loaded) and saves steps in testing.
	If you power up the Test Set later and want to use other manual functions, simply
	select Quit (k5) from the main menu and then select the other function.
Turning Off the	Turning the autostart feature off is done using the steps above, except you would
Autostart Feature	set the Autostart Test Procedure on Power-up mode to Off.
Notes	The autostart feature continues to work even if you load and run another program
	on the Test Set. The new program will be automatically run the next time you turn
	on the Test Set.
