Files
The SDA-5000 is equipped with non-volatile memory that is used to store
data from field measurements for viewing at a later time. You can retain
these files in the unit for later review, or, with Acterna’s StealthWare PC
software, you can upload them to a PC. Files loaded on a PC can be viewed,
printed, and archived with the computer. Additionally, these files can be
downloaded to another SDA-5000 for viewing in the field. Viewing files in the
field is useful when you're comparing the past and current measurements of
a given CATV system test point.
In addition to viewing files, they can be printed, either directly from the
instrument, or, as mentioned, from a PC using StealthWare. These printouts
are useful for proof-of-performance reports, troubleshooting and analysis,
and for other documentation purposes.
The following types of measurements can be stored as files:
• Auto Tests
• Scans
• Sweeps—including forward sweep, reverse sweep, reverse amplifier
alignment, Sweepless sweep, Loopback sweep, and all sweep
references.
