Web-based line sweep and documentation tracking tool from Anritsu

Anritsu has introduced the Sweep Master, a web-based line sweep and documentation tracking tool for large multi-site installation and maintenance projects. Sweep Master is designed to work with certain Site Master cable and antenna analyzers, Spectrum Master handheld spectrum analyzers, and BTS Master base station analyzers.

Measurements that can be tracked with Sweep Master include return loss, cable loss, Distance-to-Fault (DTF), Passive Intermodulation (PIM), and Distance-to-PIM. Sweep Master increases the productivity of tracking these traces with a number of web-based features, such as auto file upload and renaming; auto marker and limit line placements; and auto red/green pass/fall trace flagging.

Sweep Master's Bulk Upload system that enables users to upload and process entire folders of traces at once. Approximately 190 individual traces can be processed and available for online review in less than one minute and it would take hours to upload, set markers, set limit lines, rename, and judge a similar number of traces using other methods, claims Anritsu.


Sweep Master comes in two versions. Sweep Master Pro enables capture of cable, antenna, and PIM traces on a password protected web site by field personnel. Sweep Master Pro automatically places marker and limit lines as well as applying pass/fail criteria for all traces. This pass fail criteria includes red/green flagging to speed project review. Sweep Master Pro+ starts with the Pro capabilities and adds document management and reporting tools. The Pro+ simplifies project management, shortens rework time, and dramatically eases reporting tasks.

Anritsu Sweep Master Pro and Sweep Master Pro+ can be ordered now, with two-week lead time.
