Chapter 7
PC Tool
Bird’s SignalHawk PCTool enables the use of a PC to store measurement data,
transfer it between units, and do individual analysis. Traces can be transferred
from the SignalHawk to the PC and back. One or more saved traces can be
opened and compared. They can also be copied and pasted into other open
files, as well as adding markers or limit lines. In addition, labels can be added
and modifications saved to files.
Note:
Not all sections of this chapter apply to the PC and Rack
Mount SignalHawks.
