3.3 Updating the Antenna Definition File

The antenna definition file is automatically placed in the C:\Program Files\Andrew Corporation\
ATC Lite
directory of the computer when the ATC Lite Setup file is run. The latest version of the
antenna definition file can be separately downloaded from the Commscope website at www.com-
mscope.com (Select Resources -> RESOURCE LIBRARY ->Software->Antenna Definition Files).
After the file has been downloaded, double-click on the zip file (e.g. Andrew_Self-Extracting.
zip
) to extract the self-installer files available in the folder Andrew_Self-Extracting (e.g. RET-AN-
AT_057_msi.msi and ACRET1-TABLE_005.msi
). Double-click on the extracted self-installer file to
have the antenna definition file automatically placed in the ATC Lite directory.

During program startup, the ATC200-LITE-USB controller will look in the ATC Lite directory for the
latest Andrew antenna definition file and automatically load it into the program. Note that if an up-
dated antenna definition file has been placed in the ATC Lite directory while the ATC Lite program
is launched, the program will need to be exited and restarted to recognize the new file.

3.4 Specifying an Antenna Definition File

Although the ATC Lite program automatically defaults to use the latest version Andrew antenna
definition table file, earlier versions can be loaded by the controller. This may be necessary if the
latest antennna file does not list your Andrew antenna model. This feature also provides to load
antenna definition table for Andrew AccuRET devices.
