T-Roof Description || Program Features and Fields || Sample Output || Professional Edition

Ease of Data Entry Import antenna data directly from T-Safe or T-Site databases to save time and energy. Archive your T-Roof data restore archived backups. Default assumed values for antenna statistics may be inserted where specific data is not known. The Roof Diagram shows the current arrangement of your antennas on the roof. The Tower Diagram shows the current arrangement of your antennas on each tower (Professional Edition Only). Use the QuickCalculate buttons throughout the T-Roof database to calculate MPE limits from Bulletin 65 criteria, common antenna arrangements, and more. Enter in metric or English units at your convenience. Use the QuickJump button to speedily move from location to location. Use the Antenna Control Panel to view a summary of the antenna layout, and easily turn antennas on or off to see their affects on the analysis. RF Analysis Characteristics The analysis model is designed for accuracy, simplicity, and compliance with the specifications in the FCC's OET Bulletin No. 65, Edition 97-01. Use Canadian Health and Safety Code 6 standards for parabolic antennas instead of Bulletin 65 criteria. All antennae and tower data are grouped by location. Any number of antennas on any number of towers (your computer's memory permitting) may be used in each analysis. Model supports omni-directional antennas, as well as parabolic antennas pointed in any three-dimensional direction. RF Analysis Results (see also Sample Output) The T-Roof analysis returns percentages of the controlled maximum permissible human exposure (MPE) limits based on FCC Bulletin 65 guidelines. The model is analyzed at increments of your choosing across a two-dimensional plane parallel to the ground. This plane can be at head level, ground level, or at any height of your choosing. Combining this feature with the antenna "on/off" button lets you easily see the effect of adding a new antenna or simply turning one off. Four distinct charts are produced along the analysis plane: Percent of "controlled" MPE limits. MPE time (per 6 minute interval) for controlled exposure. Percent of "uncontrolled" MPE limits. MPE time (per 30 minute interval) for uncontrolled exposure. With the Professional Edition, you can also perform a similar analysis along the length of a tower. You choose which tower you want to analyze, and T-Roof Pro will analyze it using its three-dimensional modeling system, also taking into account all other antennas at that site, even those on other towers. A T-Roof Pro tower analysis produces three charts along the analysis region: Percent of "controlled" MPE limits MPE time (per 6 minute interval) for controlled exposure. Climber's Diagram - Percent of "controlled" MPE limits, grouped by regions of intensity and color-coded for easy reading by tower climbers. Extensive Help File Buttons and menu commands are explained fully. Contains complete keyword index. Powerful topical search tool for keywords or phrases allows fast access to the desired information. Bookmark your favorite help pages for quick reference. Troubleshooting guide is provided for help with common data entry errors or perceived errors. Sample calculations are provided in the help file. Contains complete explanations of the fields required for the analysis, and also those fields that are optional. Data Navigation and Management Find and Replace feature allows user to search through all Locations for strings with many replacement or search options. QuickJump popup menu gives one-click access to locations in the database. Easy insertion and deletion of data. Data Exporting The results of the T-Roof analysis can be stored in the T-Roof database itself, or in data files. Charts are stored in full-color Windows bitmap formats. Data, when exported, is stored in a tab-delimited text file, suitable for regular text viewing, and pre-formatted for easy importing into a spreadsheet program of your choice, such as Microsoft Excel. Data Archives and Maintenance Archives allow for easy storage, backup, data transfer and data recovery. Consultants can separate and store different client databases, and then retrieve and operate on other client databases. Compact and Repair Database utility keeps the database clean and compact for efficient use. Database Security Password Protection keeps unwanted visitors from reading T-Safe data. Data Encryption provides enhanced data security on saved and archived files to help protect against data viewing using utilities such as a hex editor. Requirements Microsoft Windows 98 or better Microsoft Access 2000. If you do not have a licensed copy of Microsoft Access 2000, a copy of the Microsoft Access 2000 Run-Time is provided with T-Roof. This is not a full version of Microsoft Access but it will still be able to execute T-Roof to its fullest extent. Microsoft Excel 2000 Recommended What are the differences between T-Roof, T-Roof Pro and T-Safe? Please see our RF Safety Software Comparison Guide for more detailed information. Other downloads...
