3- May 2005 Bulletin 639510
3.3 Beginning Program Operation
After program startup and serial port selection, note the text displayed at the bottom
of the screen in the ‘Command Status/Response’ window (Figure 3-3). This window is
used to display the current status of the program, the progress of various commands
that have been initiated by the user, and the final results of commands, such as success
or failure messages.
3.4 Antenna Definition File Selection
A single antenna definition file is placed in the ‘C:\Program Files\Andrew Corporation\ATC200
Lite’ directory of the PC during program installation. This file is automatically searched for
and loaded during program startup.
The antenna definition file provides a list of all the Andrew base station antennas compatible
with the ATC200-Lite control system. The program automatically selects and uses the latest
version antenna definition file. If a different antenna definition file is desired for use, place
the desired antenna definition file in the ‘C:\Program Files\Andrew Corporation\ ATC200 Lite’
directory and restart the program to make it available for selection. Note that the program only
recognizes antenna definition files that were present in the directory noted above at the time
of program startup. If a new file is placed in this directory, the program must be restarted for
the new file to be recognized and visible in the drop down list shown in Figure 3-9.
1. To select a different antenna definition file, go to ‘Tools, Antenna Files . . .’ from the main
menu at the top of the screen (Figures 3-8).
2. Click on the drop down list arrow to select the desired antenna definition file from
the list (Figure 3-9).
3. Click ‘Load File’ to load the selected antenna definition file for use (Figure 3-9). Confirmation
that the file was loaded will be displayed in the ‘Command Status/Response’ window.
4. Click ‘Close’ after antenna definition file has been loaded successfully.
