4. Operation
This section discusses calibration, software
upgrades, and integrating the SeeGull
HBflex scanning
receiver into the user’s test
system.
4.1. Calibration
SeeGull HB
flex
scanning receivers are
calibrated at the factory. The calibration
data is stored in the internal non-volatile
memory for each 1 dB step for the whole
input signal dynamic range. Recalibration is
recommended every 2 years in order to
maintain the specified accuracy levels.
Please refer to the Calibration Notice in the
Support section for more information. Re-
calibration is available as an optional
service from PCTEL Inc..
4.2. Software Upgrades
SeeGull HB
flex
scanning receiver stores the
application program in internal non-volatile
memory, and accordingly, is capable of
being upgraded via software. Upgrades
may be needed to incorporate new features
or bug fixes. Most software upgrades can
be done remotely using PCTEL’s SeeGull
Assistant. Please note that some upgrades
can only be performed at PCTEL’s factory.
4.3. Controlling the Scanner and
Acquiring Data
A unit is controlled, and the measurement
data is received via the USB data cable for
PC, or Bluetooth for Android tablet or UE.
Control of the SeeGull HB
flex
scanning
receiver is dependent upon the software in
order to collect data coming from
Note:
It is highly recommended
to have the SeeGull HB
flex
scanning receiver recalibrated
every 2 years.
