Provides Level, MiniScan, Full Scan, Tilt, Constellation, and FDR measurement modes that view and analyze CATV channels. A return QAM generator is also provided to transmit CW or QAM16 signals in the return path.

LEVEL

Level
measurement mode views and analyzes the signal level of each carrier within a channel (as defined by the active channel plan). In Channel Tuning mode, carrier levels can be checked in relation to user-configured limit sets. In Frequency Tuning mode, signal levels can be measured at any discrete frequency within the tuning range. Digital performance measurements are conducted on digitally modulated channels in the selected plan.

MINISCAN

MiniScan
measurement mode views and analyzes the carrier levels of up to twelve channels and displays the results on a single screen. The results can be viewed in graph or table form.

FULL SCAN

Full Scan measurement mode views and analyzes the carrier levels of up to 999 channels at a time and displays the video and audio levels of a carrier on a single screen. The results can be viewed in graph or table form.

TILT

Tilt
measurement mode analyzes and displays the signal levels and tilt calculation of up to twelve channels and displays the results on a single screen. The results are viewed in a bar graph and are measured in relation to the user-defined channels. A marker provides the channel number, channel type, and channel label in the sub title area. The pilot channel information is displayed beneath the graph. The pilot channel information include frequencies, level, and the delta value between the two pilot channels.

CONSTELLATION
(Optional Purchased Required)
Constellation measurement mode displays a constellation diagram of the demodulated digital Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) type (64 QAM or 256 QAM) signal prior to error correction. The channel of interest must be defined as either Digital or DOCSIS type, either 64 or 256 QAM, within the active channel plan. This mode also displays the channel number, channel frequency level information, Modulation Error Ratio (MER) and Bit Error Ratio (BER) Pre and Post data.

FDR

FDR
measurement mode provides a means of characterizing impedance mismatches in the home wiring and is used to detect potential faults that could disrupt signal transmission.

RETURN QAM GENERATOR
 (Optional Purchase Required)
Return QAM Generator mode provides proof of upstream network capabilities along with increased upstream troubleshooting accuracy by allowing you to transmit CW or QAM16 signals in the return path.

QAM INGRESS
(Optional Purchase Required)
The QAM INGRESS mode is a line plot which graphs signal error versus frequency of QAM signals.

HUM
(Optional Purchase Required)
Hum mode displays the total hum percentage for a specified channel over a 1 kHz span.

DQI
(Optional Purchase Required)
Hum mode is a real-time measurement that detects intermittent impairments within a downstream digital QAM carrier.

SMART SCAN
(Optional Purchase Required)
Smart Scan measurement mode views and analyzes the carrier levels of up to 999 channels at a time and displays the level and deviations of all channels in the active channel plan on a single screen.

OPTICAL POWER
(Optional Purchase Required)
Optical Power measurement mode measures fiber optic signal strength using the MP-60 or the MP-80 connected through the USB port.
