Data Analysis with StealthWare
Any stored SDA measurement information can be uploaded to
a PC using StealthWare, a Windows™ based data management
package. Stored sweep, scan, or spectrum screens can be viewed
on the PC and analyzed with marker movement and readout
information just the same as on the actual unit. A sweep graph
overlay function allows comparison of multiple RF response
variations over time. Old sweep graphs may be downloaded
back into the SDA instrument for real-time comparison.
“One Box” Solution
How many test instruments should the network mainte-
nance technician carry? One. A lightweight, rugged, and
affordable meter with the versatility to test the latest digital
services while maintaining the analog spectrum. This "One
Box" philosophy shaped the design of the SDA series, adding
the analog and digital test tools most requested by field tech-
nicians and system operators throughout the world.
