Additional Features
Export Last Trace...
Export MaxHold Trace...
Exports the most recent RF spectrum trace in *.csv format. You can export either the current (green) or MaxHold (red) trace in *.csv format. The exported *.csv trace can be imported into either Shure's WWB6 or IAS software.
Add / Remove Reference Trace
Similar to 'Delta Trace', used to view changes in the RF spectrum compared to a user-supplied 'Reference' trace. Plotting the data in this way makes it easy to detect RF changes that differ from the Reference trace. The Reference trace is a *.csv file that had been previously exported by TouchstonePro. When you 'Add' a Reference trace then it is used as the scan range and the Start / Stop input settings are grayed-out and disabled. When you 'Remove' the Reference trace then the Start / Stop input settings are re-enabled. Also, when a Reference trace is added then the 'Delta' tab at the bottom changes to 'Reference'.
Export Smart Frequency Set
Exports the current Smart Frequency Set in *.csv format.
Channel Bands (Import *.CSV and Remove)
Channel Bands allow you to organize the frequencies within a frequency set into different groups based on their frequency ranges. Channel Bands may overlap one another -- in which case certain frequencies may belong to more than one channel band. It is important to note that frequencies not included within a Channel Band will be locked-out of the intermodulation analysis. Here is an example *.csv file: Example Channel Bands Frequencies
Example format in *.csv file:
512-541
572-590
Lockout Bands (Import *.CSV and Remove)
This feature allows you to lock out frequency ranges of your choosing and can be used to exclude DTV stations. Frequencies within the locked-out bands are removed from consideration as potential candidates for a frequency set. Here is an example *.csv file: Example Lockout Bands Frequencies
Example format in *.csv file (NOTE: lines that begin with ';' are treated as comments and are ignored):
;Ch 32
578-584
;Ch 31
572-578
;Ch 30
566-572
;Ch 29
560-566
;Ch 28
554-560
;Ch 27
548-554
;Ch 26
542-548
Save / Load Monitored Frequencies
Under the main menu's Tools / Monitored Frequencies item you'll see four options: 'Save...', 'Load...', 'Add Row' and 'Remove Row'. 'Save' is used to save the current list of monitored frequencies to file, and 'Load' is used to re-load them. In this way you don't need to re-enter your customized list of frequencies each time you run the program. 'Add Row' is used to add a blank row at the bottom of the list, and 'Remove Row' is used to remove the bottom-most frequency.
