Chapter 2 DSAM Operation
Using Measure Mode
The Help system offers additional instruction about these

Performing
Upstream Spectrum Mode views and analyzes ingress
and distortion on the upstream (return) path. Initial
spectrum
measurements typically occur at the ground block with the
measurements
home disconnected from the network.
To access Upstream Spectrum Mode, use the arrow keys
to highlight the Upstream Spectrum option on the Measure
mode menu
(Figure 15 on page
30), and press ENTER.
(Or, press the SHIFT key and the SPECTRUM softkey.)
The first Upstream Spectrum mode screen you see will
look similar to

value.
