2.  Overview and System 

Requirements 

This section describes the SeeGull EXflex 
Scanning Receiver, including the applicable 
system configuration and software 
requirements. 

 

2.1.  General Description 

The SeeGull EX

flex

 is a tool for signal 

strength and modulation measurement, 
engineered for the rigors of mobile network 
testing during planning, installation and 
maintenance of wireless networks. The 
SeeGull EX

flex

 is shown in 

Figure 1

. 

 
The USB communication link allows the 
host to control the operation of the scanner 
and to receive measurement results. (Refer 
to 

Section 4

 for more details.)
