15. After all the antenna actuators have been configured and the downtilt settings have been
adjusted to their new values, you may want to generate a record of your work. Go to the
AISG screen shown in Figure 2 to generate a record (a read only XML file will be
generated).
Double click on the serial number of the antenna actuator (on the Identification screen)
you want to create a record on, and then click on File located on the AISG tab screen.
The software will prompt you for the location you wish to store the file on your computer
and for a filename. Typically, the file is named after the site the antennas are installed on
(e.g. GA12345 or TX345). After saving this file, you will then return to the Identification
tab where you can repeat this process with the remaining antenna actuators listed. Each
time you click on File you will be asked Do you want to replace this, click Yes (this will
add the new serial number into the file and will start compiling a list.) Figure 3 shows an
example of a file generated using the process described in this step. These files (XML
format) can be opened/viewed through an Internet browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer).
