Chapter 7 PC Tool
Bird’s SignalHawk PCTool enables the use of a PC to store measure-
ment data, transfer it between units, and do individual analysis. Traces
can be transferred from the SignalHawk to the PC and back. One or
more saved traces can be opened and compared. They can also be copied
and pasted into other open files, as well as adding markers or limit
lines. In addition, labels can be added and modifications saved to files.

Not all sections of this chapter apply to the PC and
