The ANDRE Deluxe comes installed with the newest ANDRE firmware upgrade. This firmware provides behind-the-scenes performance enhancements. In addition, users will be able to select between AM and FM audio demodulation and run the ANDRE in low power mode for better connectivity to certain PCs.
Reporting Features
Data Logging
The data logging function captures the ANDRE’s histogram data for extended periods of time. With power level and frequency information included, the data logger has three optional modes:
- 250 hours at 500 msec resolution
- 25 hours at 50 msec resolution (default)
- 30 minutes at 1 msec resolution
Data Viewer
The Data Viewer is a PC application that allows you to download and review the data logging files captured on your ANDRE (see example below). Viewing the data log from the ANDRE on the Data Viewer provides unique evaluation tools including FFT for idenitifying transmission characteristics.

Moving the cursor anywhere in the timeline displays signal details in the Cursor Info window (amplitude, frequency, timestamp, probe, etc.). Also shown is the Detailed Frequency Band Information dialog box.
