15 Appendix B: PSA-Manager and PSA-View Software
PSA-Manager is a Windows* PC application for the creation, editing, analysis and management
of PSAxx05 files. It is compatible with versions of Windows from XP onwards (including 32 and
64 bit versions).
PSA-Manager is supplied on the CD accompanying the instrument, or may be freely
downloaded from the web site which may have an updated version. A secondary application
called PSA-View is similarly available.
An explanation of how to use PSA-Manager is provided within the program’s own Help function.
PSA-Manager Functions
Trace File Display
Trace files downloaded from the instrument can be viewed on the PC.
Limit Patterns Creation
Limit pattern files can be used within the Limits function of the instrument when option U02 is
installed. Limit patterns are tables of amplitude against frequency that are created within PSA-
Manager and uploaded to the instrument.
Limit pattern table files can be created from scratch or imported and edited from CSV files.
Editing tools include both numeric entry and graphical editing.
Channel Marker List Creation
Channel Marker List files are a special type of limit pattern file that contain only vertical lines.
They can be particularly useful for showing channel position frequencies. PSA-Manager
provides an editor that enables them to be created by entering a list of frequencies. They have
the same extension as a limit pattern file (.CSV) but the file name commences with $ symbol.
Compensation Tables Creation
Compensation tables files can be used within the Offset/Tables function of the instrument when
option U02 is installed. Compensation tables are normalised tables of amplitude against
frequency that are created within PSA-Manager and uploaded to the instrument.
Compensation table files can be created from scratch or imported and edited from CSV files.
Editing tools include both numeric entry and graphical editing.
Log File Analysis
Logging files downloaded from the instrument can be viewed and analysed. (The logging
function requires Option U02)
