Extensive Automated
Test Capability
Automated tests can be scheduled to per-
form either 24-hour FCC compliance tests,
or initiated immediately to log performance
at individual nodes, amplifiers, or other
testpoints. A wide range of tests can be
performed automatically, including signal
levels, C/N, hum, and depth of modulation.
The operator designates which tests to per-
form on which channels. Because these
tests are non-intrusive, it is easy to test all
parameters on all channels at anytime.
After a test is performed, the results can be
displayed on the SDA screen. A pass/fail
indication on a variety of limits can be set
for FCC/CENELEC or other government
standards, or to system preferences. Data
taken during any automated test, or
sequence of automated tests, can be
viewed immediately with a pass/fail indica-
tion for each of the limits. Specific stored
measurement results may be viewed on
demand. Automated test results can be
printed directly to a serial printer or
uploaded to a PC using StealthWare to
store and include in custom reports.
! The detailed scan graph offers user-adjustable
marker, scale reference level and tilt for maxi-
mum signal evaluation.
Data Analysis with StealthWare. Any
stored SDA measurement information can
be up-loaded to a PC using StealthWare, a
Windows™ based data management pack-
age. Stored sweep, scan, or spectrum
screens can be viewed on the PC and ana-
lyzed 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. StealthWare also
allows the operator to build channel plans
and edit site locations, which can be
downloaded to multiple SDA instruments.
Additionally, channel plans can be
uploaded to the PC, modified in
StealthWare, and then downloaded back to
the SDA instrument.
Upgrading the SDA-4040D to SDA-5000.
Your test equipment investment is protect-
ed with the WWG upgrade program. As sys-
tem requirements change, the SDA-4040D
can be upgraded to the SDA-5000 for for-
ward and reverse sweep capabilities at any
of the WWG worldwide service centers. And
if you own a model SAM-4040D, you can
upgrade to the SDA-4040D with an in-the-
field firmware change only!
