7. Beeper

It might be tricky to install a Sat-dish and, at the same time, try to watch the
signal-level on the instrument.
Therefore the instrument has a very useful "beeper"-function to help finding the
max-strength signal. It works with a pitch tone that gets higher and higher the
better the signal gets.
The beeper is turned on and off with button nr 7.
Notice that the function works with a narrow bandwith (one transponder) and
not with the full bandwidth.
To use the function: put the cursor on top of a selected "peak" and align the dish.
8. Spec
Special-functions. Select with button nr 8 in the Mainmenu.
1. Max hold
Max hold is a very good function for, over a longer time period, watch a certain
frequency-range. This to see how/if temporary signals/disturbances can affect the
picture quality.
Adjust the frequency-bandwidth (see Function 3) and put the cursor on the
frequency (peak) to watch. Chose with button nr 1 the "Max hold"-function. The
instrument starts to sample all top-values in the shown bandwidth and only
updates the presentation if there´s any new measured data with higher dB-values
than the previous measured.
Turn off the function by pressing the button nr 1 again (No hold).
Measured data can be stored. Read more about the Memory-function under section
4 below.
