Vision™ MX280001A Spectrum Monitoring Application Software : High-Speed Port Scanner (Option 407) : Introduction : Run the High-Speed Port Scanner
 
Run the High-Speed Port Scanner
The High-Speed Port Scanner can be operated with the probe simulator as described in Vision Simulator. All tools described while using the Simulator program are available and used the same when using real-time monitoring.
Add Channels Dialog
The Add Channel Dialog is used to add, replace, or insert a channel with selected parameter criteria from the dialog. From the HSPS toolbar, click Add Channel. The Add Channels dialog box opens as shown in Figure: Add Channels Dialog.
To edit channels parameters that are already active in the Table List, see Options and Settings.
Add Channels Dialog
A description of the Add Channel entries are described below.
Add Channels Parameter Description 
Parameter
Description
Host name/URL
Enter a host name or URL address for the instrument taking measurements. If using the simulator program, enter 127.0.0.1 for the Hostname.
Channels to add
Will add to the Table List the number of channels designated in the entry box. Type in a value using the number keypad or the up/down arrow buttons to increment/decrement the number of desired channels.
Split frequency range
The frequency span is split into the sub-channels.
For example: Start Frequency is set at 600 MHz and Stop Frequency set at 700 MHz with 10 channels to add.
• If Split Frequency Range is not checked, you get 10 channels set at 600 MHz to 700 MHz.
• If Split Frequency Range is checked, you get 10 channels each with a 10 MHz span. 600 to 610 MHz, 610-620 MHz, etc.
Start Frequency
Type in the desired start frequency using the number keypad. The maximum frequency setting Vision provides is the maximum allowed on the measuring instruments up to 54 GHz.
Stop Frequency
Type in the desired stop frequency using the number keypad. The maximum frequency setting Vision provides is the maximum allowed on the measuring instruments up to 54 GHz.
Channel Span
Channel Span displays the individual channel spans when Split Frequency Range is checked. So in the Split frequency range example above, it will be blank if Split Frequencies is not checked, and show 10 MHz if Split Frequencies is checked.
RBW
Type or enter a RBW value from the list. The selectable range is 10 Hz, 30 Hz, 100 Hz, 300Hz, 1 kHz, 3 kHz, 10 kHz, 30 kHz, 100 kHz, 300 kHz, 1 MHz, 3 MHz.
VBW
Type or enter a VBW value from the list. The selectable range is 10 Hz, 30 Hz, 100 Hz, 300Hz, 1 kHz, 3 kHz, 10 kHz, 30 kHz, 100 kHz, 300 kHz, 1 MHz, 3 MHz.
Reference Level
Type in the desired start power range using the number keypad. The entry range is –120 to 20 dBm.
Upper Limit
Type in the desired upper limit using the number keypad. The entry range is –120 to 20 dBm.
Lower Limit
Type in the desired lower limit using the number keypad. The entry range is –120 to 20 dBm.
Preamp
Select this box to use the preamp. Checked will activate the preamp to reduce noise.
Data Points
Type in the desired data points using the number keypad.
Antenna number
Type in a value using the number keypad or the up/down arrow buttons to increment/decrement the number of antennas. The selectable range is 1 to 24.
Increment Antenna #
If checked, the antenna number starts at 1 and will increment for each channel added. For example, if five channels are added, the antenna number will start at 1 and increment to 5. If not checked, the antenna number will always be 1.
Replace
Replace entire Table List with current Add Channel configuration.
Add
Include the Add Channel configuration to the bottom of Table List.
Insert
Click a channel number before opening the Add Channel dialog. Click Insert to add the Add Channel configuration above the selected channel number. This allows the user to insert at the top of the Table List.
Close
Close the Add Channels dialog.
