13 Appendix A: PSA-Manager Software
PSA-Manager is a Windows* PC application for the creation, editing, analysis and management
of PSAxx02 files. It is compatible with versions of Windows from XP onwards (including 32 and
64 bit versions).
PSA-Manager may be supplied on the CD accompanying the instrument, or may be
downloaded from the web site. Installing PSA-Manager will also install a secondary application
called PSA-View.
PSA-Manager Functions
File Backup and Organisation
PSAxx02 files can be backed-up to the PC and organised into “projects”. This enables the
instrument to be used by several different operators or used for different projects and to contain
files relevant only to that user.
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 U01 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.
Compensation Tables Creation
Compensation tables files can be used within the Offset/Tables function of the instrument when
option U01 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. (Requires Option
U01)
PSA-View
PSA-View is an additional application which can be used with the View-on-PC function of the
instrument when option U01 is installed.
It enables the screen of the instrument to be duplicated on the PC at any desired size.
