! Limit checks can be instantly viewed after
identifying channel of interest with a marker in
scan mode display.
Carrier-to-Noise Measurement:
In-Service.
Carrier-to-noise mea-
surement (on non-scrambled
channel) is just as easy, and there is no need
to remove modulation from the video carri-
er. No tunable preselector filter is needed.
! In-service carrier-to-noise.
Hum Measurement: In-Service.
Measuring hum on a channel
(non-scrambled) is as simple as
pressing the "HUM" key. And since the
instrument is battery powered, the measure-
ment is independent of ground loops, there-
fore isolated from the line (mains). Hum
reveals itself as either single (60 Hz) or dou-
ble (120 Hz) horizontal bars across the video
screen. The level of either can be measured.
! In-service HUM (PAL/NTSC compatible).
Modulation Measurement.
Includes NTSC, PAL and SECAM
formats. Demodulation of the
audio is done for both AM and FM. FM is
used to hear audio distortion on the FM
radio channels or the sound of the TV pro-
gram. AM is used to recognize short-wave
interference signals in the reverse band.
! Depth of modulation.
Local Amplifier Alignment with
Loopback Tests.
The SDA
Loopback tests allow the techni-
cian to quickly perform frequency response
measurements of active or passive field
devices using a single meter. Either a CW
or sweep signal may be generated from the
SDA unit and injected to the input of a
device under test. The DUT output can
then be measured by the SDA, providing
valuable information like gain, loss, roll-off
or frequency response. The CW loopback
test is available on the SDA-5000 when
ordered with OPT 1. The CW loopback and
Sweep Loopback features are available on
the SDA-5000 when ordered with OPT 2.
! Local Loopback Sweep: Performs initial
setup of optical nodes or measuring the gain
or loss of individual components in the field.
