A CATV system is comprised of channels representing the
channel plan for that system. Each channel is identified by
its carrier type, frequency, and other parameters. The
parameters (characteristics) of individual channels can be
edited within a plan to meet a variety of measurement
objectives.
To view the CONFIGURE CHANNEL menu
press the CONFIGURE mode key
then press the Channel Plan softkey.
