To help radio engineers monitor the directional antenna monitor points of AM stations, Radiotechniques Manufacturing is promoting its Point Manager, a personal digital assistant program that manages such measurement. The program uses a Palm PDA with a GPS to navigate to each monitoring point, enter and check the measurement data against licensed values, date and time stamp the data, and provide for data management and transfer to a PC database for analysis and tracking.
The full version of Point Monitor sells for $250, and includes HanDBase Pro, a database manager that formats data for transfer to PC-based database or spreadsheet programs.
A free functional demo version of the program is available that handles only one station and does not include the HanDBase database program.
