Getting Started
Overview
SL7PC66 and SL7PC86 are PCĆbased application programs used to display
and analyze the data captured by the 3066 and 3086 Spectrum Analyzers,
respectively.
Product Overview
What You Get With
This Program
What You Need to
Run This Software
This software is the same as that used in the 3066 and 3086 except that it
does not have the function that enable access to the analyzer specific
hardware. After capturing the data with the analyzer, you can save it in a file
and copy it to your PC through a network or floppy disks. Then, you can let
this software display and/or analyze the data on the PC.
The SL7PC66 and SL7PC86 applications display the same views as those
on the 3066 and 3086, respectively. Instead of the front panel, it displays
the front panel interface (FPI), through which you can make menu operaĆ
tions. For display and/or analysis of data, you have to make operations
through views like the analyzer.
You should receive the following items with this product:
H SL7PC66 or SL7PC86 software diskettes (5 FDs)

Magnetic diskettes are subject to physical damage and the data contained
on them is easily destroyed by inadvertent stray magnetic fields. A backup
copy is inexpensive insurance against loss of data.
Before proceeding, make a copy of each of the diskettes in this package.
Use the copies for installing programs and files and store the original disĆ
kettes in a safe place.

respectively, either through a network or media such as floppy disks.
2. Copy the CFG and IQ files to a PC on which this software operates.
3. Load the settings file (.CFG) using this software.
H Use CONFIG : MAIN ! Load (*.CFG) to load the settings informaĆ
tion.
4. Load the data file (.IQ) using this software.
H Use CONFIG : UTILITY ! SaveLoad ! Load... ! Load From File
(*.IQ) to load the settings information.

In addition, you can load the data into data registers D1 to D8 and register
pairs D1D2 to D7D8.

For example, you can view the modulation accuracy of the digital modulaĆ
tion signal by changing View D to EVM View.
Because this software does not have the functions specific to the 3066/3086
Spectrum Analyzer, available functions are limited. Table 2Ć2 summarizes
the restrictions.
