SECTION 3: OSCOR MANUAL OPERATION
35 REI OSC-5000E
Trace Display Mode. In this mode, the OSCOR will display the peak signal that occurs at
each frequency as it continuously scans. The Peak Signal function combines the peak
signal from each continuous sweep. Therefore, if the OSCOR is allowed to sweep across
the spectrum for several minutes, the envelope of all transmissions will be recorded. After
a period of time, the envelope of a frequency hopping bug or a burst bug will be
displayed.
It is important to understand that the Peak Trace data is updated continuously in all
modes for the input that is currently selected, and regardless of whether or not the Peak
display mode is turned on. For example, in the Real-time spectrum of the Sweep Mode
Screen Display (Figure 15), the data is constantly being used to update the Peak Display
memory, but the Whip-Hi input is the only Peak memory that is being updated.
The OSCOR does provide a means for capturing the Peak Trace Data using the Inputs
that are selected for Automatic operation. The OSCOR will capture Peak Trace data for
all of the inputs that are selected, but the OSCOR will not create a signal database.
To Capture Peak Trace data:
1. Ensure that the OSCOR is in the Sweep Mode.
2. Press the MENU button (labeled CONFIG).
3. Press the F4 button (labeled MANAGE IMAGES).
4. Press the F2 button (labeled ‘Capture Traces PEAK’).
5. To stop or cancel the Capture Friendly spectrum, press the AUTO/MANUAL
button.
To Display the Peak Trace Data:
1. Establish the frequency span of interest in the Sweep Mode.
2. Press the MENU button (labeled CONFIG).
3. Press the F1 button repeatedly until the label reads “TRACE 1 PEAK” or press the
F2 button repeatedly until the label reads “TRACE 2 PEAK”.
It is important to clear the Peak Trace Data after entering each new environment. This is
important in order to analyses each environment and to compare different rooms in the
same environment. Using the OPC software, the Peak trace data for each room can be
stored for future comparison.
To Clear the Peak Trace data:
1. Ensure that the OSCOR is in the Sweep Mode.
2. Press the MENU button (labeled CONFIG).
3. Press the F4 button (labeled MANAGE TRACES).
4. Press the F4 button (labeled DELETE TRACES/PEAK).
5. Press the F1 button (labeled DELETE) to confirm deletion.
