Line Sweep Tools is a program designed to increase productivity for people who work with dozens of Cable traces, Antenna traces, and Passive Intermodulation (PIM) traces every day.
Why use Line Sweep Tools?
Line Sweep Tools can:
• Collect sweeps from Anritsu PIM and Line Sweep gear.
• Help verify that those sweeps are done properly and that the Cable, Antenna, and PIM sweeps meet specifications.
• Help create reports of the findings, quickly and to a professional standard.
Line Sweep Tools Features
The Line Sweep Tools user interface is familiar to users of Hand Held Software Tools, the current industry standard line sweep post‑capture trace processing software. This leads to a short learning curve and easy trace collection, validation, and reporting.
The Anritsu Line Sweep Tools program includes:
• Presets for markers and limit lines, which take hours off the report preparation time for a user with dozens of traces to verify.
• The Report Generator, which makes generating PDF reports for multiple traces, with logos, quick and easy.
• Dual Trace viewing mode, which ensures compatibility with the E series line sweep instruments and with the PIM Master.
• A naming grid, which makes naming files, titles, and subtitles much quicker and error free.
• Line Sweep Tools can open DAT or VNA files from a wide range of current and supported Anritsu handheld instruments.
• Line Sweep Tools can open the PIM files generated by Passive Inter-Modulation measurements.
Using Line Sweep Tools
Like its predecessor, Hand Held Software Tools (HHST), Line Sweep Tools is intuitive for most users. However, unlike HHST, Line Sweep Tools has the capability to work rapidly with a large number of traces.
Line Sweep Tools Window
Line Sweep Tools can open DAT files from HHST or VNA/DAT files from Anritsu instruments. It also can open PIM files. Files (after opening) can be inspected and modified in many different ways. Line Sweep Tools saves files as a new type of DAT file, and can export traces as VNA, text, JPG, BMP, or PNG. Line Sweep Tools produces files that can be opened by HHST.
Note
Power meter mode (*.pm files) are not supported by LST.
