Pulse Measurements
The FieldFox pulse measurement option can be used to characterize RF pulses such as those used in radar and electronic
warfare systems. Measurements are made using FieldFox and Keysight's UBS peak power sensors.
Performance specifications such as frequency, dynamic range and minimum pulse width depend on the peak power sensor.

Remote Control Capability
Option 030 adds remote control capability to FieldFox analyzers, so that FieldFox can be controlled via an iOS device. The
FieldFox app, running on the iOS device, combined with Option 030 on the FieldFox analyzer provides full control of the
instrument from a remote location. The app emulates the front panel of FieldFox, so users can press the FieldFox hardkeys or
softkeys using their iPhone or iPad, and make measurements remotely.

iOS device requirements
iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch
iOS of 6.1 or higher
A WiFi or 3G/4G connection
The FieldFox app communicates with FieldFox via a network connection, so both the iOS device and FieldFox need to be on a
network where both devices can reach the other. For example, a company intranet or a site installation using a wireless
router. FieldFox can directly be connected to a LAN cable, or if wired LAN is not available, a user supplied wireless router can
be configured to work with FieldFox.
FieldFox app without Option 030
The FieldFox app can be installed on an iOS device independent of the presence of Option 030 on the analyzer. Without
Option 030, users can view the live display screen of their FieldFox remotely, but cannot control the instrument. With 030
purchased and installed on their FieldFox, users can both view and control their FieldFox.
Option 030 and the FieldFox app are not applicable to Android, BlackBerry, or Windows phone/tablet devices.
