Hey

I am setting up a list of things to purchase to do some site surveying. I have chosen the N9342C and am just wondering what else I should get. The Freq range I have to test is between 148Mhz and 6Ghz.

Should I try and find a omnidirectional antenna?

Do I need any special computer software to overlay all the data on google maps?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Sorry if I am a bit vague as I have kind of been thrown this job.

No one else has this question

Hi -

For the antenna selections, the N9311X RF kit offers some antennas to work with HSA, including omni-directional, or logarithmic-periodic. Refer to the product brochure for details:
http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/5990-5035EN.pdf
Note the frequency range. You may need to check with another vender if you need frequency range far beyond the antenna specs.

Here are ways to log the measured data with GPS info and then load in Google Earth by KML file:

First, install GPS option on N9342C, then utilize the instrument features:
1. Marker logging feature.
It can monitor the signal amplitude at a single freq.
Press[Marker]->{More}->{Logging start}.
N9342C will start to record the marker readout to a *.CSV file. The GPS information will be recorded as well.
Then use HSA PC software to convert the CSV file to KML file saved by marker logging.
PC software can be downloaded from:
http://www.home.agilent.com/agilent/software.jspx?ckey=1927189&lc=eng&cc=US&nid=-11143.0.00&id=1927189

2. Install option SCN, channel scanner option.
It allows to simultaneously scanning a maximum 20 different channels, the N9342C calculates each channel’s power and displays the results in a bar, or time chart. A one-button logging function saves results in CSV or KML format for data mapping applications like Google Earth and MapInfo.
Refer to User’ Guide on page 71 for details:
http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/N9342-90002.pdf

I hope this helps -

Hi, *********.
As you see, there are many free conversion tools online. But I don't suggest you to use them to do with your conversion work. Because I always believe that the free tools online do not have so many professional functions as the paid ones. And it is said that some of them might contain some virus. Check some free trials of the paid professional conversion tools to convert pdf to image using C#.NET first before you make your final decision if possible. I also suggest you choose one whose way of processing is simple and fast. It can save a lot of time for you. Remember to do your conversion work according to its tutorial page about PDF conversion. I hope you success. Good luck.

Best regards,
Pan
