INSTALL This program is not necessary but can help speed the installation of the
LIF version program. It automatically copies the required files into the
desired location.
NOTE Several data files are present on the disk with the “xxxx” suffix. These are
default files that allow operation of the program without correction factors.
The values in these file are nominal values. For example: 100 percent for all
sensor cal factors; 20 dB for the 20 dB attenuators; 10.00, 20.00, 30…dB for
the external step attenuator, and so on. This is provided as a convenience only
to demonstrate or learn about the program. The default configuration file will
access these files if no user-defined serial number is specified. A warning
message will be displayed if the program is using these default files.
Configuration File
The configuration (config) file is the file that customizes this program for your usage. It
contains specific information for your setup. Some of the items contained in this file
include:
• the GPIB addresses of all the test equipment
• the GPIB address of the analyzer under test
• the model numbers of the test equipment
• the serial numbers of sensors, fixed attenuators, and the external 110 dB step
attenuator
• the disk drive locations (path and directories)
• other items specific to your setup
Ideally, only one configuration file should exist on the program disk so that the program
will automatically load only that file. However, it is possible to have several configuration
files stored on the same disk. In this case, the program will list all of the available files and
prompt you to select one. This is useful if more than one setup is commonly used or if one
performance test software disk serves several workstations.
