Clear Active Status A target receiver in use sets an internal flag that marks the target receiver as busy and is cleared when not in use. Users should not attempt to use the target receiver for measurements until the flag is cleared. There may be times when a process fails to clear the Active flag and the target receiver will report as busy until the flag is cleared. When no users are accessing that target receiver, use this menu option to clear the Active flag so that the target receiver can be accessed freely. | |
Reset Monitor Communication Port Reset the Ethernet port using this menu option. Note: If someone is using the target receiver to perform a long term measurement, the SCPI port will appear blocked; therefore this function can corrupt someone else’s measurement. A symptom of a blocked SCPI port: The target receiver interface is displayed in browser view, but no measurements/sweeps are shown. | |

Monitors can be assigned into groups. Groups are used only to visually arrange the monitors so that associated monitors are together in the monitor list. By default, the monitors are listed in the order they are entered into the database. To place the monitors in groups, use the monitor context menu to add and assign groups. You also must toggle the Show Groups setting on to see the grouped monitor list. Individual groups can be collapsed or expanded to easier view just the monitors that are of interest at a particular time. For more on monitor groups, see Base Station and Channel Directory. |
