Measurement of the min./max. level | Kathrein 9986492, MSK 33

Return Path IF Menu

Carrying out measurements

By pressing this button, the MSK 33 is set to analogue reception and measures the following values:

-Audio carrier spacing from TT1 (sc1) and TT2 (sc2)

-Nicam audio carrier spacing (if available)

-Nicam bit error rate (BER)

-Minimal and maximal level (min./max.)

Level measurement ANALOGUE

The following displays appear on the screen, when the button, „measure,“ is pressed.

Measurement of the audio carrier spacing

----TV MEASURE ALL ---

SC1/SC2:-13.5/-19.5dB

Audio carrier 1: -13.5 dB

Audio carrier 2: -19.5 dB

Measurement of the Nicam audio carrier spacing and the bit error rate

NICAM: -18.5 dB

BER : 5.6E-06

Nicam audio carrier spacing 1: - 18.5 dB

Nicam audio carrier spacing: 5.6E-06 (5.6-6)

Measurement of the min./max. level

In the display, the following values are represented:

Minimal level: 77.5 dBµV

Maximal level: 82.5 dBµV

In this function, the MSK 33 measures the minimal and the maximal level, so the check points can be tracked for level fluctuations.

As long as this measurement function is called up, the MSK 33 measures the minimal level and the maximal level. This measurement function serves for monitoring the check points for level fluctuations.

Measurement of the current level

In the display appears:

Channel: IF

Frequency: 38.9 MHz

Analogue reception: A

Current level: 79.5 dBµV

An „A“ in front of the level display means, that the MSK 33 has been set to analogue level measurement. Even after exiting the menu, the MSK 33 stays set to ANALOGUE reception.

For level measurement on digital IF signals, the MSK 33 can be switched- over to the digital menu (refer to the respective section).
