Standard System Features – continued
Feature Description Benefits
Off-the-Air Sensitive Receiver
The 2 microvolt sensitivity of the unit is
available through the antenna port. This allows
off-the-air monitoring of remote transmitters
operating up to 1 GHz. Variable squelch aids
in picking up weak signals but can be set
tighter to ensure the proper S/N ratio for
measurement accuracy.
This feature reduces service costs by enabling
frequent preventive maintenance parameter
checks for system degradation or interference
identification without leaving the shop.
Electronic Software Updates
High-Speed serial port and flashable memory
permit programming firmware updates from an
external PC.
Quick and easy access to future software
updates.
RS-232/Serial Interface (standard)
IEEE-488-2 Interface (optional)
A full bi-directional RS232 port is standard
and includes the capability to respond to serial
input command vocabulary and return meas-
urement results as a serial output stream.
Included are user-selectable baud rates (up
to 115.2 Kbps) and start, stop and parity bit
selection. In addition, this dual function port
can drive a serial printer to print out data and
graphic displays. The optional IEEE remote
interface option contains the necessary
hardware and software for IEEE-488.2.
If you have large volume repetitive testing
requirements, this feature allows you to write
your own programs to reduce test time costs.
Printed results can be used as part of the
service shop’s internal quality control system
and can be used to demonstrate performance
to the radio equipment user.
Cable Fault
(standard in R2670;
optional in R2600 and R2625)
Cable fault and length are RF measurement
features which help the technician isolate
cable defects. Supported by on-screen
prompts and user-selectable Help messages,
you can quickly set up and accurately
determine the distance to a fault on a coaxial
cable. The distance to fault (or cable length)
is computed and displayed in feet or
metric units.
Cable fault locating techniques are mandatory
for site servicing, where visual inspection
is not practical, safe, or effective in detecting
hidden or cold-flow damage. The semi-auto-
matic operation of the cable faultfinder
precludes the use of mathematical formulas
and manual calculations, maximizing your
on-site productivity.
General Purpose
& Modulation Oscilloscope
The oscilloscope has a 50 kHz bandwidth for
audio waveform analysis. The display can be
triggered over the full screen range to a fixed
reference level. Triggering in both automatic
and normal modes is provided for synchroniz-
ing the horizontal timebase to the vertical
input signal. Internal or external inputs allow
observation of both generated and monitored
modulation signals. Softkeys provide for an
enlarged full screen display.
The optional High Performance Spectrum
Analyzer (standard on R2670) adds Marker
functions for more precise measurements of
Voltage, Frequency, and Period.
Recovered audio or internally produced
audio can be displayed visually for deviation
measurements. Additionally, detection of an
asymmetric modulation or audio distortion can
be achieved with waveform analysis. With
internal and external triggering and a freeze
display single sweep, this unit duplicates many
features of more expensive scopes. The
markers allow detailed analysis to measure
waveforms displayed on the LCD. The EXPAND
function provides an enlarged, easy to
interpret view of the signal for quick analysis.
AM, FM Signal Generator
When the GENERATE mode is selected, the
RF modulation method, carrier frequency,
bandwidth, composite audio modulation,
and RF signal level output are displayed on
the LCD.
In addition to reducing receiver test time, this
flexible, self-calibrating signal generator is
complemented by the simultaneous display of
all necessary control information.
Signaling Simulator:
Encoder and Decoder
The System Analyzer includes the capability of
encoding and decoding PRIVATE LINE (PL),
DIGITAL PRIVATE LINE (DPL), and single tone
sequences as well as multi-tone sequences
including DTMF signals, 5/6 tone paging,
Select V and up to 20 sequential tones.
Decoding displays include tone frequencies
and time durations of the individual tones. The
unit can also encode tone remote signaling.
The signaling capability of the unit reaches
a broader range of service applications with
its decode capability. This gives you a more
flexible test instrument which aids in servicing
paging equipment and specialized signaling
encoders, as well as mobile, portable and
other radio products. The signaling simulator
can perform a full system check-out faster,
with more accuracy than ever before.
