Wavetek 4200S Datasheet

Ease of operation provides fast results for
the service engineer, which saves valuable
time.

The Wavetek 4200S Series can be remote
controlled via the RS-232-C interface.
Using the SCPI instruction set or the
LabWindows™ driver allows individual
test procedures and central data
management with enhanced logistics and
statistic analysis.

In addition to the already complete testing
capabilities of the 4201S, the 4202S adds
Data and SMS testing. The 4203S also adds
timing advance measurements, a channel
frequency de-tuning generator, and allows
a larger frequency deviation of the mobile
from the center channel.

The new Wavetek 4200S Series is especially
designed for the requirements of GSM
service and repair sites as it is very
accurate, easy to handle and affordable. The
Wavetek 4200S Series provides very precise
and fast measurements for all GSM bands
(GSM 900/1800/1900, including E-GSM and
GSM-R). The latest dual-band mobiles can
also be tested, which means that add-on
boxes, extra options and additional costs
can be avoided.

Software updates, which are available free
of charge on the Internet, can be down­loaded easily via the RS-232-C interface.
The Wavetek 4200S Series stores up to 100
individual mobile settings which can be
assigned to 20 different test procedures. Up
to 500 complete measurement data sets are
automatically stored, even after powering
off the system. The data can then be
downloaded to a PC.
