Every previously created service table is listed in the Service Table dropdown list. Select “New Service Table” to create a new service table.
The name of the service table has to be defined first. The description can be entered as well. The channels are defined by using the subsequent fields containing a channel name, center frequency, bandwidth and resolution bandwidth. After clicking Add, the current defined channel will be stored in the list “Current Channels”. A new table can only be stored if at least one channel is defined.
Maximum and Minimum values can also be set here. These values are used in conjunction with the alarm feature. Alarms can be generated if the channel power measured in a given band exceeds either the maximum or minimum thresholds set.
By clicking Save and activate the current service table is stored into the database and is available for measurement. Recall a previously saved file by clicking the Service Table label and then selecting a table from the Service Table dropdown list. Finally, press the Save and activate button.
At the top of the Service Table is a button to open the Alarm Settings. If a MAX or MIN threshold was set for an individual channel, the alarm function needs to be activated in the Alarm Settings box.
Alarm Settings
Alarms can be set for each channel entered. This allows you to receive an email notification that a channel threshold has been violated.
After entering the parameters for a New Channel, enter Min and Max threshold values for that channel and click their respective checkbox. At the top of the Service Table window is the label Alarm Settings and next to it a button labeled Open. Click Open and the Alarm Settings window displays. Check the E-mail notification checkbox. Enter an email address for the E-mail receiver and click Activate. Press OK when done.
If a MAX or MIN threshold value has been set and alarms have been activated, the date and time for any alarm trigger will be shown in the table summary shown below the channel scanner.
