CS103 Setup

As many of you know there are features in TILE! that are not documented at all in the manual. I am trying to fix that since we have version 5 out. One of the actions that I would appreciate some information on is the CS103/4/5. If any of you have a profile or any experience [...]

TILE! 5 is Available

  The long awaited TILE! 5 is now available from ETS-Lindgren.  This version is compatible with Windows 7 and adds I/O ports for USB, Ethernet and PXI.    Some of the features that TILE! users have asked for are included such as cut and paste and improved graph / table features.  The cut and paste [...]

Using TILE! with an HP 8566 with RFPS

This is some great information to those of you that are using the 8566 with a Pre-selector. This was contributed by Jason Anderson. . You always set the RFPS and the SA to the same address. For example, “18” is pretty popular on the SA. So on the RFPS set the dip switches to match [...]

What was going on in 2010?

The TILE! support team was super busy in 2010. Our goal was to release a new version that would take advantage of the latest software tools so we can enhance our support and development. We announced at the TILE! Users Group meeting at the IEEE show that we were going to call it TILE! 4.5. [...]

Sending files to tilesupport@ets-lindgren.com

Since we deal with multiple email servers between ETS-L and customers, we have found that it is safest to send all files zipped. We usually do not have a problem with profiles, but drivers are actually dll’s that are stripped out of almost all correspondence.

Table Tricks

You can easily copy a table to Excel by doing a copy / paste function. It will be nicely formatted when you open the spreadsheet. Also if you go to the Page Defaults tab on the Table Setup (double click anywhere on the table) you will see a selection to ‘Use text for Frequency on [...]

Log limit lines in graphs

To make sure that your data will be calculated correctly against a log limit line, make sure that you select ‘Continuous (Log)’ on the limit line.

Graph Fix

To allow the proper start and stop frequencies to be shown in the log graph, go to the FTP site, /Tile4/actions tab and download the file called wct32fr3d.dll and replace the one that is in your tile4 or tile41 directory.

What was going on with TILE! in 2009?

  For most of 2009 the TILE! support team has been taking part in a development project that will improve some of the usability of the software.  Most of these enhancements will be in the immunity area.  I will save the details for when we get closer to releasing it.  Again we have brought the core [...]
