Developed software for measuring signal quality of broadcast terrestrial television transmissions throughout the UK. The software is used in two vehicles that are used to measure reception quality of analogue and digital television transmissions. The software interfaces (using RS232 and GPIB connections) with a field strength measuring receiver, a digital receiver and COFDM demodulator, a spectrum analyser, a GPS receiver, an analogue tuner and a series of switches for manipulating the antenna, amplifier and TV input source. The user interface shows spectrum plots, transmitter radiation patterns, transmitter lists and measurement results. The software was extremely well received by users and is in active use in the survey vehicles.
