Lectrosonics Venue (Narrowband) - Manual (Page 23)

Digital Hybrid Wireless™ Modular Receiver System
Separate windows are presented for each frequency
block. The scan results are presented in a graphical
display with shaded areas indicating frequency and
strength of RF signals. A scale in the middle of the
display indicates the approximate signal strength in
microvolts.
Scanning continues until it is suspended by the user.
Click Stop to suspend the scanning. While scanning
is suspended, select a receiver module with its radio
button in the upper left of the dialog box. The cursor for
the selected module will be highlighted, and can then
be moved by left clicking and dragging the mouse. Click
Run to resume the scan. Click Clear to stop the scan
and clear the spectrum data. The behavior of these but­
tons is the same regardless of whether or not the scan
is “complete.”
To avoid interference from external signals, the cur­
sors should be placed in between the RF signals, as
they are in the illustration above. To avoid interference
caused by the systems themselves, refer to the sections
entitled Pre-coordinated Frequencies and Diagnostics
for details on multi-channel compatibility and testing.
Walk Test Recorder
This menu item opens a dialog box providing a con­
venient method for testing the operation of selected
receiver modules (or receiver module pairs) with the
corresponding transmitters.
The Walk Test Recorder produces a chart recording of
RF signal strength versus time. Receiver modules in
switched diversity mode leave a single trace; diversity
pairs leave dual traces.
An audio recording can be made while the recorder is
running using the MC65 cable supplied with unit. Con­
nect the PHONES jack output on the Venue Receiver
front panel to the computer system’s audio input. Adjust
the output level of the receiver with the LEVEL control
on the front panel.
Click the Record button (red circle) to start the Walk
Test Recorder and the Stop button (black square) to
stop the recording process. Press the Play (green
triangle) to play back the recording. Rewind and Fast
Forward buttons move the window to the beginning and
end of the chart. The cursor can also be moved with the
computer mouse by clicking and dragging.
During the walk test, it helps to describe the location of
the transmitter, e.g. “now going through the blue door,”
“now passing the front gate,” etc. during the recording
to make it easier to discern the bad locations. Start the
playback of walk test and audio recordings from the be­
ginning and observe the chart recording while you listen
to the audio recording.
