Nit - Network Information Table; Matching Function - New - emitor SATLOOK Micro plus Owner's Manual

When performing Digital installations, please notice:
• The constellation diagram is like "a shower of hail". No signal will spread out the noise
over the window. The better signal, the more concentrated and focused "hailstorms" in
the windows.
• SNR. The signal/noise ratio should be as high as possible. A good signal should have at
least 8.0 dB S/N-ratio.
• BER. The Bit Error Rate should be as low as possible. As the values are really small, on
the other side of zero (presented as something raised to minus something), they should
be as high as possible.
A BER at 5.00 –05 is therefore better than 9.00 –04.
A BER at 4.00 –05 is therefore better than 5.00 –05.
It can be said, in general, that a signal should be at least x.xx –04 to be accepted.

3.2.1 NIT - Network Information Table

The word "searching" will lit on the right hand
side of the picture as soon as a digital transponder
is found. After about 5 seconds, if the satellite is
transmitting NIT, the satellite position will appear
and in some cases also the satellite name, e.g.
Astra 19.2
The "Channels"-function will show a list of the
present TV- and Radio-channels on that certain
transponder/frequency.

3.3 Matching function - New!

When using the matching function it is very easy to align the satellite dish towards the
particular satellite you are looking for.
1. Choose the "matching"-function from the main menu, using the right (black) control
button and a list of satellites will be shown on the display.
2. Select the satellite you a looking for from the list.
3. Turn the satellite dish until the instrument signals with a beep that the wanted satellite is
found. The match is also verified by the NIT information shown on the display, if
avaible.
On the display you can see how the signal strenght varies when you are turning the
satellite dish. When a satellite is found you will also see a bar with the signal/noise ratio
in percentages.
Note that the instrument only will utter a beep when the chosen satellite is found.
4. Enter the signalmeter mode (see 3.1.) where you can read the strenght of the signal and
adjust the dish more exactly.
5. Eventually go to the digital mode (see 3.2.) to verify the quality of the signal.
