Anritsu Line Sweep Tools analysis software

A PC-based software tool that simplifies the tasks of collecting, verifying and reporting field measurement results is now available.

The software suite for Anritsu’s handheld instruments allows network operators to capture, validate and generate reports using antenna, cable and passive intermodulation sweeps.

Line Sweep Tools can be used by field engineers and technicians to help ensure accurate and timely measurement reporting.

Line Sweep Tools is part of the company’s Tool Box and provides users with time saving capabilities. It collects sweeps from handheld instruments and helps verify that those sweeps are done properly. It also helps create reports of the findings quickly and to a professional standard.

The user interface is simple to operate as it includes presets for markers and limit lines that make report preparation faster and easier. A report generator simplifies creating PDF reports for multiple traces. Renaming files, titles and subtitles is much quicker and error free due to a naming grid.

The tools can open DAT or VNA files from a wide range of current and supported Anritsu handheld instruments. The tool can also open PIM files generated by PIM measurements. Other software tools included in the Tool Box include Master Software Tools and Map Master.

The Tool Box with Line Sweep Tools is included with every company RF and microwave handheld analyser that has line sweeps or PIM testing as a standard feature. Current users can download the software from www.us.anritsu.com.
