User interface
The WiNRADiO MS-8108 system features an efficient, intuitive user interface not usually available with conventional monitoring systems.
The informative control panel includes many innovative features, designed to empower the user with a multitude of facilities suitable for a wide range of applications ranging from conventional logging and time-schedule recording, to sophisticated, fully automated surveillance operations.
Each channel allows for independent operation of a high-performance scanning receiver with sophisticated functions such as automatic task scheduler, spectrum scope, signal strength recorder, programmable audio recorder, and many other features.
The virtual control panel of the MS-8108 system allows the user to observe the status of individual receiver channels, a log of tasks already performed, as well as a list of pending tasks, on a logically laid-out, easy-to-read screen. Each receiver has its fully interactive control panel, making it possible to determine each channel status at a glance.
Each receiver can operate totally independently, as a high-performance scanner. There are many scanning and tuning options, allowing the user to precisely specify the behavior of the receiver while scanning is performed. Other special functions include a signal strength recorder, frequency logger with a sophisticated editor, programmable audio recorder, comprehensive frequency memory management functions, channel occupancy measurements, and many other features.
Several different types of spectra can be displayed, including three-dimensional spectra which are particularly suitable for monitoring activity on a particular channel or in a particular band. Scanned spectra can be stored and printed for later reference. The Spectrum Scope also allows direct "click-on-peak" tuning of the associated receiver from within the scanned spectrum. The receiver can be also continuously tuned by dragging the cursor over the spectrum (the WiNRADiO popular Visitune tuning method).
