R&S TSML-x System Requirements

1 General Description

Using the radio network analyzer series R&S TSML always requires the availability of a host PC
software. The high speed link between the analyzer and the host PC software based on the IEEE
1394a standard.

There are two different possibilities for the host PC software to run and control the analyzer:

1. Applying the ready to use Drive Test Software Platform R&S ROMES (not part of this
package!)

2. Utilizing the R&S ViCom programming interface package and integrating this analyzer as
an OEM product into a customer specific software application.

In combination with the R&S ROMES software and depending on the model and enabled firmware
options, this radio network analyzer can be used as a powerful and budget-priced instrument for
interference analysis and network scanning in 2G and 3G networks or RF power and spectrum
measurements.

This R&S TSML analyzer also supports the ViCom interface. This software interface and a description
is part of the shipment. R&S ViCom interface is a C++ DLL based user interface designed for
customers who want to integrate this scanner into their own software application.

The following models of the analyzer are currently available:

R&S TSML-W Radio network analyzer for WCDMA networks

R&S TSML-C Radio network analyzer for CDMA/CDMA2000/1xEV-DO networks

R&S TSML-G Radio network analyzer for GSM networks

R&S TSML-CW Radio network analyzer for CW measurements

R&S TSML-GW Radio network analyzer for GSM / WCDMA measurements

(For details, refer to the R&S TSML data sheet and application notes.)
