PI-893 Remote Spectral Monitor

The PI-893 remote spectral display processor accepts intermediate frequency (IF) outputs from HF, VHF, or UHF receivers and processes the signals to create IF pan displays on a customer-furnished PC or workstation. The PI-893 connects to the customer’s network and provides data via a standard interface control document (ICD) or the Java-based graphical user interface provided with the unit.

The PI-893 contains an internal IF switch that allows it to connect to up to six different receivers. The switch can be changed manually (via the client interface) or programmed to scan through the input channels. The PI-893 acts as a network server for spectra, to which clients can attach to monitor one or all of the input channels. The PI-893 also has a local display port for using the unit without the network, or to diagnose network problems.

The unit can be configured to monitored signals with different IFs and different sweep widths on each channel. The scanning can be configured to activate all six input channels or any subset of them. For example, the PI-893 could be configured to scan between channel 1 at 10 MHz sweep and 70 MHz IF; channel 4 at 5 MHz sweep and 21.4 Hz IF; channel 5 at 2.5 MHz sweep and 21.4 MHz IF; and channel 6 at 31.25 kHz sweep at 455 kHz IF. All settings and changes are configurable over the client-server software interface and can be achieved remotely.

An administrative client allows system managers to configure network parameters and user management.
