SPECON - Spectrum Control SW
Overview
- SW intended for frequency monitoring and searching new radio signal sources in HF, VHF and UHF frequency ranges
 - Provides the possibility to control a lot of modern searching and monitoring receivers (e.g. IZ 225)
 - Setting the basic receiver parameters
 - Monitoring of one certain frequency with level measurement of monitored signals with graphics presentation
 - Storage of measured levels with time stamp, operator's text notes, GPS position and antenna's direction to binary fi le (can be converted to text file suitable for spreadsheet)
 - Audio recording receiver output synchronized with measurement
 - Level triggered saving and audio recording
 - Operating system – MS Windows family
 
Presentation of Measurement Results
- Simple level indicator (FFMod GUI)
 - Time versus level (dBmV/dBmW)
 - Frequencies (memories) versus level (dBmV/dBmW)
 - Frequencies (memories) versus time (waterfall)
 - Spreadsheet and text files
 
Receiver Data Interface Support
- RS 232
 - LAN
 - IEEE 488

Options
- Monitoring of signals stored in receiver memory, (MScan GUI) number of monitored memories depend on receiver
 - Searching for new signal sources in chosen bands (FScan GUI) up to 50 bands
 - IF spectrum presentation (IFPan GUI)
 - On-line switching between searching modes and fixed frequency
 - Storing all measurements into binary file and replay, possibility of graphs generation
 - Averaging of stored values
 - Zooming for FScan and MScan
 - DIGIScan presentation (wide band panorama scan with ability of frequency agile signal recognition)
 - Possibility of handoff direction finding or support of direction finders with results presentation in GEO3D software
 - Multireceiver control (SpeConMan), sharing among operators, time job management etc.
 - Sending frequency from FScan and MScan GUI to FFMod
 - Support GPS receivers and add position stamps into measurement
 - Multilingual version
