Coverage Test
The Coverage Test helps you determine where in the performance
area your transmitters are strongest and where they are weakest by
providing a graph of RF power vs. time. You may choose from seven
test-duration times ranging from 30 seconds to one hour.
To start Coverage Test:
1. Make certain the appropriate transmitter is on and has
sufficient battery power for the desired test period.
2. Click on Tools>Coverage Test.
3. The Coverage Test Setup pop-up appears. Select the test
duration from the Choose Test Duration dropdown menu.
4. From the Receiver dropdown menu, select the receiver that
corresponds to the transmitter being tested.
5. Click Start to begin the coverage test, or Cancel to return to
the Main System window.
6. Using the appropriate transmitter, have someone walk the
performance area while you observe the “Coverage Test”
window. Weak coverage will show up on the graph as low
RF values.
7. During the test, a Progress Pop-up appears showing the
Coverage Test in process along with a “Coverage Test”
window showing RF coverage for both A & B tuners of the
receiver under test. Resize the window by clicking and
dragging the borders to show more or less detail.
8. Right clicking anywhere in the Coverage Test window opens a
menu box allowing you to:
Save as… Saves an image of the Coverage Test as a
PNG graphic.
Print… Sends an image of the Coverage Test to a printer
connected to the computer.
Zoom In… Opens a submenu that contains Horizontal Axis,
Vertical Axis, Both Axes functions.
Zoom Out… Opens a submenu that contains Horizontal Axis,
Vertical Axis, Both Axes functions.
Auto Range… Allows the Horizontal and/or Vertical Axis of the
Coverage Test window to automatically scale.
This allows for greater detail to be displayed
when smaller time segments are tested.
Reconnect to Network
Reconnect to Network causes the software to rescan the network for
AEW receivers. You will need to run Reconnect to Network anytime
a receiver is powered on/off, a receiver is added or removed from the
network, or a change is made to a receiver’s network connections.
To reconnect to the network:
1. Click Tools>Reconnect to Network.
2. After closing the current connections, the software searches
for connected receivers on the network and refreshes the Main
System window.
CAUTION:
Any time you run Spectrum Analyzer,
all receivers are muted during this process.
Therefore, do not run Spectrum Analyzer
at any time when system muting would be
undesirable!
