Automated Field Strength Measurements
Posted: Tue Oct 31, 2017 5:21 pm
I desire to use RSP2 to conduct mobile Field Strength measurements of the FM Band (88-108 Mhz) over a large geographic area while driving.
This will require automated and repetitive tuning of RSP2 to pre-determined frequencies (88.1, 92.7 100.3...repeat from 88.1), capturing the Frequency and Signal Strength (S-Meter value) as well as the capture of Lat/Long data from a GPS receiver connected to a separate Com port on my laptop.
The desired CSV file should look something like this:
88.1, 45, Lat, Long
92.7, 32, Lat, Long
100.3, 52, Lat,Long
-->repeat from beginning frequency 88.1
Any suggestions on either how this can be done with existing or custom software?
