Running a Scan using a SARK100

Turn on your antenna analyzer and connect it to your antenna.
Press the "Config" button until you see the words "PC Link" on your screen, then press the down arrow. Your screen should now show the message "Waiting Link".
Use a USB cable to connect your computer with your antenna analyzer.
Open the Antenna Analyzer app you compiled using the instructions above.
From the Antenna Analyzer app, use the "Link" menu to select your device. You probably have only one option displayed, but if there are multiple options, you may need to perform some experiments to identify which of the listed devices is your Antenna Analyzer.
Use the displayed GUI to select which frequencies you'd like to scan, and press the "Scan" button.
