ASTi Telestra 4 Training Manual (Ver. 1, Rev. F)

9.0. ACE Studio Model Building (with hands-on exercises)

This section will discuss ACE Studio Model Building from simple sine waves to creating radio

models. The hands-on exercises build upon each other in a sense that a certain level of knowledge

is assumed as you work your way through the exercises.

Note: This document does not take the place of an ASTi training course. ASTi recommends a

three-day training course which includes intensive hardware and software familiarization, and

model building assistance oriented to the customer’s application.

9.1. Sine Wave

There are two main steps to building a simple sine wave. The first step is creating the model and

the second step is attaching the ACU software components.

Step 1: Building the Model

1. Open the ACE Studio software on the workstation.

2. Open a new ACE Studio Project by selecting Project in the menu bar.

Selecting Project will open a screen showing all the Targets on the network. The user can

expand each Target in the list to view the Projects located on each Target. The user can

either select an existing Project or create a new one.

3. To create a new Project, select a Target in the list and hit the plus symbol (+). Name the

new Project.

4. Click on ‘mai

n’ under Projects to view the Layout.

Main is the default Layout icon view of the Project. Users can

also add a new Layout and start with a blank canvas. Then add

each item one-by-one.

5. Select the ‘Install Layout’ button.

By selecting this button, the user installs the contents of the Project

onto the designated Target, where it will continue to run as the user

builds models.
