#   RRSG - ANTENNA MEASUREMNET SCRIPT FOR MEADE PEDESTAL MEASUREMENT TOOL
#

#   Version 1.0
#   DATE: 11 APRIL 2015
#
#   Version 1.1
#   EDIT: 28/04/2017 - Bug fixes and comments
#                    - Added ability to save increments (deg) to file name
#                    - Added the ability to automatically connect
#                      if thinkRF is connected directly to PC
#
#   This script is to be used in conjunction with the Meade Pedestal
#   using the Meade Pedestal Measurement Tool included in the .zip folder
#   written by Dr Craig Tong.
#
#   This script takes in 4 arguments, namely: IP, Freq, File, Deg
#   IP:     Provide the IP for the WSA5000 (eg 137.258.131.247)
#   Freq:   Provide the WSA with a centre frequency in GHz (eg 1.3)
#   File:   Give a file name (eg Test)
#   Deg:    Increments in degrees so that you know what the file is doing
#
#   If connected directly to PC, no IP argument is required
