The Field View measurement mode (optional purchase required) provides
the Remote spectrum display of the upstream (return) path as selected
for broadcast. The Field View measurement mode provides increased troubleshooting
accuracy by allowing you to compare spectrum measurements at the node
with the current conditions at the headend.
The Field View measurement mode also provides a Return Signal Generator
(RSG) if so optioned at time of purchase. The RSG provides a continuous
wave (CW) signal on the upstream path that is frequency and level configurable.
This signal enables you to verify the Field View two way functionality
and may be used to determine the return path.viewed by PathTrak or Phasor
monitoring system. The DSAM displays the spectrum of any node that is
currently monitored by the PathTrak or Phasor System and is selected for
broadcast by the return monitoring system administrator.
