Activating the TACAN option
The TACAN (Tactical Air Navigation) option R&S
EDST-K1 is implemented as a
USB stick. The TACAN stick is linked to the R&S
EDST300 unambiguously via
the instrument's MAC address. The R&S
EDST300 can evaluate TACAN signals
only if the TACAN stick with the TACAN software is inserted in one of the USB
ports.
The TACAN stick must be inserted
before
the R&S
EDST300 is switched
on. Do not remove the stick before switching off the R&S
EDST300, or else
the application is closed.
When the R&S
EDST300 firmware is started, the TACAN functionality is copied
from the stick to the RAM. After the R&S
EDST300 is shut down, no TACAN func-
tionality remains in the instrument.
The TACAN stick cannot be used to store data; however, a second USB stick can
be connected simultaneously for data logging.
