Software manual
3.1. Quick start
1. Connect your analyzer to the PC as described in section 1 of this manual. Make
sure the analyzer is turned on.
2. Run AntScope. Under Windows, the program will automatically detect the analyzer
type. For AA-230 ZOOM under Mac OS and Linux, select serial device name and
analyzer type in the Configure menu.
3. Select Measurement – Range menu (or press F9). In the Scan window, select a
desired frequency range (or click “Set full range”) and a number of points to set the
scan resolution. Click OK to perform the scan.
4. After the scan is complete, use F2 to F8 keys to switch between charts displaying
various parameters: SWR, phase angle, complex impedance (parallel and serial
models), return loss, impulse and step responses, and reflection coefficient at
Smith chart.
The main function of the AntScope program is to show measurement results on the “big
screen”. The AntScope is a great companion to your RigExpert analyzer which adds
functions previously available in expensive, professional grade equipment only.
