You will not be able to use Vision Acquire or Vision Monitor until you have created and attached a database. To create a database, see DB Creator. The database is used to configure each monitor for sweeping and to store the resulting trace data. Trace Acquire collects traces from multiple spectrum monitors located at base station sites. The trace collection is periodically configured by the user. Trace Acquire also maintains the database of traces by archiving them, removing old ones, compacting and compressing the database. Setup to receive email trace-monitoring status notifications.
