Measurements Setups Using Batch, Easy, and Custom Procedures
While in Easy or Custom mode, the three mode submenu keys for choosing Batch, Easy, and Custom are displayed by pressing the Meas Selection main menu key then the More submenu key, which opens the Meas Selection (2/2) menu. The active mode has a submenu key with a red circle, which can be seen as the Field Strength selection in Figure: Measurement Screen and Meas Selection (1/2) Menu. While in Batch mode, Batch, Easy, and Custom are the only submenu keys that are displayed in the Meas Selection menu. Refer to Figure: Measurement Selection Menus.
Measurement Screen and Meas Selection (1/2) Menu
Following is a list of the major tests and the related parameters that are tested.
Field Strength
Measures channel power and field strength.
Modulation Analysis
Measures MER, modulation wave frequency, sub‑carrier MER, delay profile, and frequency response.
Spectrum Mask
Evaluates the input signal spectrum.
Phase Noise
Measures CW frequency and the local phase noise of the transmitter.
Spurious Emissions
Measures spurious elements and the interfering waves that affect the broadcast quality.
BER
Measures Bit Error Rate, Packet Error Rate, Transmission Multiplexing Configuration Control (TMCC), MPEG TS Bit Rate, and Channel Power.
Spectrum Monitor
Displays the spectrum of the input signal.
After a test has been selected, choose one of three methods for setting up a measurement: Batch, Easy, or Custom. When a measurement setup mode has been selected, all measurements in the Meas Selection (1/2) menu are set up for that measurement mode.
