Pushbutton Name
Function
When the [Record-R™] pushbutton is pressed, an individual
data record is created and stored in the instrument’s memory,
provided the MEMORY
OK LED is continuously illuminated.
The memory used for this storage is non-
volatile; it is not
affected by turning the instrument off.
4.3.2 Recording Data with GPS Lock
If the GPS LOCK LED is illuminated continuously when the [Record-R] button is pressed, the
information stored will consist of the instrument’s model number, serial number, UTC date and
time, location (latitude and longitude), Frequency in use, and the measured Path Loss power in
dBm. The data recorded is the information displayed at the instant the Record-R LED
illuminates.
4.3.3 Recording Data without GPS Lock
If the GPS LOCK is flashing (no lock), position is not known and cannot be recorded. If the
[Record-R] button is pressed and held for three seconds, until the Record-R LED illuminates, a
data record will be recorded along with frequency, path loss, date and time. The data recorded
is the information displayed at the instant the Record-R LED illuminates.
4.3.4 LED Indicators
This section identifies the PathAlign-R with Record-R front panel indicators.
Pushbutton Name
Function
The Record-R LED illuminates for 1-2 seconds when a data
record is being recorded. When logging a data record, the data
recorded will be identical to the date displayed on the
instrument the moment the Record-R pushbutton is pressed.
MEMORY OK
LED illuminates to indicate that there is room in the
instrument’s memory to storage additional records. If this LED
is not illuminated, internal memory is full and records must be
downloaded, via the instrument’s USB or RS-232 ports,
a PC
and the Log View-
R software utility, before further data records
can be recorded.
GPS LOCK
LED has two ‘ON’ states:
(1) The LED illuminates continuously when the internal GPS
receiver is locked to three or more satellites, giving a two-
dimensional so
lution: latitude and longitude with UTC date/time
(this could take 2-
3 minutes from a ‘cold’ start) and indicates
that UTC date/time and position will be added to the recorded
