Analog and digital channels are very different in terms of signal content and power distribution and thus require the advanced SLM techniques provided in the Televes H30. In analog mode, video and audio levels, V/A and Carrier to Noise (C/N) are measured.
Channel Channel Change using Frequency plan 3. System Scan This function scans the selected channel plan and detects every existing analog and digital channel in real time to determine the overall frequency response of the system. The scan measurement leverages the location based thresholds to clearly show whether or not signal levels comply with the cable system’s specifications with their green, yellow and red bars.
