TV MEASUREMENT

LEVEL OVERFLOW AND UNDERFLOW

At a level < 30 dBµV the LC display indicates an underflow.

LC display:

Channel: CH 05

Operating mode: Analogue cable TV

Level: underflow

At a level > 120 dBµV the LC display indicates an overflow.

LC display:

Channel: CH 05

Operating mode: Analogue cable TV

Level: Overflow

Note

Levels of DVB-C and DVB-T-/H signal can only be measured if

Digital reception has been set.

AUDIO CARRIER SPACING AND LEVEL

TV stations can transmit on a second audio carrier - FM-modulated (analogue) - or in Nicam format (digital). Depending on the set standard the audio carriers are assigned various frequencies (see table). After channel and frequency entry audio carrier 1 is always set.

Standard

TT1

TT2

Nicam

B/G

5.5 MHz

5.74 MHz

5.85 MHz

D/K

In audio carrier measurement the signal spacing between audio and video carrier in dB is measured first, then the absolute audio carrier level in dBµV. During the measurement the speaker is mute. After completion of the measurement the modulation of the audio carrier last measured can be heard.
