Main Menu • Settings

1.

Press the 

Antenna

 softkey.

The available antennas are listed with their characteristic data.

The detected antenna type will be displayed when you use a Narda 

antenna. 

2.

Use the rotary control knob or arrow keys to highlight the desired item.

3.

Press the 

OK

 key to confirm your selection.

NOTE:

If the antenna is not recognized, the associated antenna configuration is 

probably missing. The antenna configuration data are uploaded to the 

instrument using the IDA Tools PC software.
