ease of operation, operational safety and networking. Uniform operation, pre-emptive multitasking
and versatility in integrating additional software

Client-server concept
R&S ARGUS is a straight client-server application
comprising a measurement unit (server) and a control unit (client).

Password protection
R&S ARGUS has a security concept that authenticates users via a user name and password in different security areas. This ensures that data cannot
be edited or deleted by every user.
Users generally have different measurement and
Measurement modes
All measurement tasks being run by the measurement software can share the same hardware, i.e.
measurement devices and accessories. Naturally,
the hardware can be available to one task for a
certain time only. Nevertheless, thanks to sophisticated task scheduling within the software, the different measurement modes are able to consecutively use the hardware resources according to the
time and priorities the operator has set for each. As
long as the number and duration of the tasks are
within reasonable bounds, it is easy to arrange for
several measurement modes to use the same
hardware. All this is available under a single license

The Spectrum mode gives the user a quick overview (level) of a frequency spectrum.
This can be performed with scan (scanning from
start frequency to stop frequency using frequency
increments), frequency list scan (scanning using
frequencies from a frequency list) or transmitter list

list). Additional measurements (e.g. the frequency
offset or modulation) on all signals within the frequency band can also be made if the receiver has

the measured spectrum can be analyzed very easisurement parameters (e.g. level, frequency offset,
bandwidth, modulation or location), depending on
the capability of the selected devices.
In the Antenna Analysis mode, level measurements are performed on one frequency while the
azimuth, the elevation or the height of a directional
antenna is varied. This mode is only activated for
steerable antennas.
The user can define the antenna settings in two
ways: he can select a range for the antenna and
the antenna covers this range using the selected
step width or he can select a settings list. In this list,
he can enter antenna settings.
