Anritsu easyTest Tools suite for ‘E’ series analysers

Click2Contact

Developed as an aid to assist less experienced users, the easyTest Tools suite has been released for the ‘E’ series range of master cable and antenna analysers.

With this tool, users can easily create, deliver and display work instructions on any ‘E’ series unit. Direct benefits include accurate testing, repeatable results and less rework.

The suite allows experienced users to create automated set-ups and procedures on their PCs. The files can then be delivered by email or other electronic means and display work instructions on any Site Master or Cell Master ‘E’ analyser. The files provide step-by-step instructions for both the test set-up and instrument operation for novice users of the equipment.

All of the set-ups, procedures and images used in an easyTest procedure are placed in one file, an ETT file, making distribution simple. Modified firmware in the instrument recognises this file type and works with it. Easy distribution by electronic means allows procedures to be kept current.

Simply pressing an icon on the instrument menu allows novice users to start the procedure. Once started, set-ups recall automatically, putting the instrument into the proper mode for the measurement. Images display hook-up instructions and prompts let end users know if they need to press any buttons. Test results are automatically saved.

These features make getting test results with cable and antenna analysers quick, reliable and simple. Included with the suite are a set of sample procedures, allowing users to build up their own procedures by modifying the supplied samples.
