Measurement data is shown on two lines, A and B, below the graph. These
two lines show the readings of the vertical markers on the graph.
Press this key to select the active vertical marker. The dotted
line is the active marker. The solid line (other marker) does not
move. The active marker moves with the left and right diamond
keys.
Press this key to automatically place the active marker at the
frequency with the greatest amplitude.
Editing the Modulation Format or Symbol Rate
Press this key to edit the modulation format.
The SDA analyzes two quadrature amplitude modulation formats, 64 QAM
and 256 QAM. Changes to the modulation format should be made only
when it is certain that the modulation of the digital signal is not
compatible with the current setting.
Use the up or down diamond keys to select the alternate modulation format,
and then press the Enter key. Edits to the modulation format may be saved
to the Channel Plan.
Press this key to edit the Symbol Rate.
The Symbol Rate corresponds to the size and shape (bandwidth) of the
digital signal. This rate is expressed in “millions of symbols per second”
(Msym/s) and may be edited in the Digital Summary Mode. The default for
64 QAM is 5.057. The default for 256 QAM is 5.360.
Edits to the default rate should be made only when more accurate data is
obtained from equipment specifications or further analysis of the signal.
Use the alphanumeric keypad to define the new symbol rate, and then press
the Enter key. Edits to the symbol rate may be saved to the Channel Plan.
Press this key to select the LEVEL submenu, where the
following items may be edited:
• Reference Level
• Scale Parameter
• Maximum Hold Function.
