When using the MX280005A to capture IQ data, it is automatically transferred to the local PC. Other ways to capture IQ data directly on the spectrum analyzer include taking a MS2090A into the field and capturing data, return to the lab and copy it to a PC for playback and analysis. The remote file list shown in Figure: Remote File List displays files stored on the spectrum analyzer and provides a way for copying the files to the local PC. Double-click a file from the list to copy to the working folder. The selected file can then be viewed in the IQ data screen and Spectrogram screen shown in Figure: Capture Menu.

The Capture Status provides the IQ data stream size and expected size to capture and analyze properly. If the data stream is less than the expected size, the assistance indicator is displayed as shown in Figure: Capture Status Assistance Indicator.
