4 – demodulator status
5 – MER value in dB
6 – preBER value
7 – postBER value

When there is not sinchonization with the channel, constellation diagram is empty. After sinchronization
is being achieved quadrature modulation points is displayed on the diagram. For example, for QAM64
subcarrier modulation 64 points of data subcarriers and 4 points of pilot subcarriers will be displayed. View of
constellation diagram allows to determine distortion behavior in the channel.
MER, preBER and postBER measurement values are displayed in positions 5, 6 and 7.
