Coverage Mapping is a four-step process:
• Create an indoor or outdoor map using “Anritsu easyMap Tools” .
• Load the map and configure the “Instrument Settings” on page 7-4 .
• Connect an antenna to the instrument and go to “Measurement Setup” on page 7-6 .
• “Save the Coverage Mapping Information” on page 7-7 .
Anritsu easyMap Tools
Anritsu easyMap Tools allows you to capture maps of any location and create Anritsu Map
Files. These maps are viewed on the Anritsu instrument during coverage mapping. There are
two Anritsu Map File formats:
• legacy .map map files
• .azm map files, which are displayed in full zoom-out view (pan-and-zoom is currently
not supported in Coverage Mapping)
Download easyMap Tools from the Anritsu website ( www.anritsu.com ). Additional
information about easyMap Tools is available in the software Help.
Outdoor Map
Type an address in easyMap Tools and capture the map with GPS data.
Indoor Map
In easyMap Tools, open a bitmapped image (JPEG, GIF, TIFF, or PNG) of the floor plan for
indoor mapping. You can also use a downloaded map and make it an indoor map. This method
works well if you can get a good aerial view of a building.
The image size should be close to 666 pixels x 420 pixels (~1.6:1 ratio).
Note A USB flash drive is required to transfer maps to the instrument.
