XDS-PRO Satellite Receivers
3.3.1 Main Menu Options
Note: For all of the following subsections, please refer to the Front Panel Flow as shown in Figure 1 - PRO
Receiver Front Panel Flow.
When the receiver's front panel is not being used, the idle screen featuring the X-Digital Systems
will be displayed. There are two important statistics displayed on this front logo screen: EB,
bit relative to noise floor
which is an indicator of the signal level. Both of these quantities serve to describe the quality of the
satellite signal and should be used as a guide when positioning the satellite dish. Better signals have
better separation between the data and noise floor, and thus a higher EB. EB range is 0 - 15. Levels
above 15 will be displayed as ">15". The receiver will fade in and out below 5 dB E
completely at around 3.5 dB. A powerful signal will have a high AG (indicating little amplification is
required) while a weak signal will have a low AG (indicating unit is amplifying signal).
Once the ▼ button is pressed, the receiver will navigate into its main menu options. These options are:
STATUS
SETUP
AUDIO PORTS
Continually pressing ◄ (or ► ) will cycle through these three main menus. Pressing ▼ or SET will navigate
into whichever one of these three options happen to be currently selected.
3.3.2 Status Sub-Menus
