Port Scanner
The Port Scanner quickly monitors the channel power on any number of channels using Anritsu’s Spectrum Analyzer with Option 407 installed.
See Port Scanner (Option 407).
Scan Viewer
Provides tools for viewing saved CPM (Channel Power Measurement) and spectrum analyzer measurement files. CPM files created by the Vision Port Scanner contain many RF sweep traces that include sweeps at multiple frequency bands and from multiple spectrum analyzers. Use File Viewer to review all of the traces in multiple views and explore the data as a set. See Scan Viewer.
Trace Monitor
View traces stored in the database. Analyzes the database where measurements are collected to show date/time stamped trace information, spectrograms, and intuitive ways to monitor for interference signals.
See Trace Monitor/Trace Viewer.
Trace Viewer
Compare traces between channels.
See Trace Viewer.
 
Measurements Menu
The Measurements menu is described in Figure: Measurements Menu.

PoA Locate
Locate sources using PoA. See PoA Locate (Option 401).
TDoA Locate:
Spectrum analyzers positioned in a triangular pattern perform TDoA to identify a stationary signal’s longitude and Latitude coordinates.
See TDoA Locate (Option 401).
Occupancy:
Provides tools to set power threshold levels to determine whether a given frequency channel is to be considered occupied.
See Occupancy.
Cross Pol:
Cross Polarization measurement monitors two antennas measuring the same signal, one turned 90 degrees relative to the other. See Cross Polarization.

Favorites Menu
The Favorites folder is used as a preference location for users to access frequently used menus.
Copy Menus to Favorites
Vision menus offer a robust range of trace monitoring menus. Trace monitoring requires navigating through a few menus to create a database and a trace monitoring setup. Once setup, some menus may not require access often. As an alternative to repeatedly navigating through the menus listed, a user may store frequently used menus into a Favorite folder. The Favorites folder can be used as a repository for menus that are accessed frequently and repeatedly when perform signal trace monitoring.
To store a menu in the Favorites menu folder, right-click a frequently used menu to show the submenu shown in Figure: Add to Favorites. Below, the Cross Pol (Cross Polarization) menu is copied and added to the Favorites folder. More menus can also be added and accessed through the Favorites folder.
