Sweep Configuration
The SWEEP option of the CONFIGURE main menu enables you to establish
the operating parameters that you want for a specific sweeping application.
The first screen in this menu offers the options and choices available in
either the Stealth, Stealth (SDA COMPATIBLE), Transmit, Transmit (SDA
COMPATIBLE), Loopback, or Sweepless modes of sweeping. Stealth mode
sweeping is the default setup. The number of options available to you
changes depending on which sweep mode you select.

PathTrak Configuration (OPT3)
From the PATHTRAK option of the CONFIGURE main menu you can set the
parameters that allow communication between Acterna’s PathTrak
performance monitoring system and the SDA field unit.
The PathTrak mode provides increased troubleshooting accuracy by
allowing you to compare spectrum measurements at the node with the
current conditions at the headend.
Options available to you from the PATHTRAK main menu enable you to set
the Telemetry Frequency used to transmit data, and to view the list of nodes
currently available from the PathTrak system.
