If a limits file on the PC has been selected for transfer and a limits
file with the same name already exists on the 9102, the 9100 Data
Exchange Software will display a pop-up box with the file name in
question in the header bar, and offer several possibilities:
– Click on
Yes if you want to overwrite the file in question.
– Click on
No to cancel transmission of the file in question.
– Click on
Yes to All to copy all files to the 9102, irrespective of
duplicate file names.
– Click on
No to All to prevent overwriting of all files with duplicate
file names.
– Click on
Rename to enter a new file name applying to that file
when downloaded to the 9102.
– Click on
Cancel to cancel transmission of all files, no matter
whether file names already exist on the 9102 or not.
The 9100 Data Exchange Software will indicate when the down-
load has been completed successfully.
5 On the 9102, press E
SCAPE to return to local mode. You can then
start using the limits template.
Defining and loading external coupling parameters
The 9102 Handheld Spectrum Analyzer can compensate a defined
gain or attenuation introduced by external equipment between the
device under test and the 9102. The coupling can be specified in the
9100 Data Exchange Software; several files for different devices can be
defined, stored and downloaded to the 9102. Furthermore, on
installing the 9100 Data Exchange Software two files with external
coupling parameters are automatically saved to the Extdev directory of
your 9100 Data Exchange directory on the PC. Once downloaded, the
compensation of effects from external devices can be switched on and
off at any time. The 9102 takes the coupling factor into account before
presenting the measurement result.
Gain and attenuation are frequency-dependent in most cases; there-
fore the 9100 Data Exchange Software allows you to enter interpola-
tion points to cover the frequency-dependent coupling factor over the
whole frequency range of interest.
