5.8.2 Operation
Attenuation test function is available for all signals.
1 In Settings
2 Press the Tools key
3 Select the Attenuation Test option.
4 The Attenuation Test function for the signal appears on screen.
5 First, set the parameters before the test, pressing the Advanced
Parameters to set are: Frequencies of pilot signals (pilot 0, pilot 1 and pilot
2), maximum attenuation and threshold attenuation (see more details in
next section).
6 Then it is necessary to Set References. This requires a signal generator. We
recommend to use of one of the PROMAX signal generators: RP-050, RP-
080, RP-110 or RP-250 (depending on the frequency band).
7 Connect the generator and the meter where the origin of the signal
distribution is in the installation (antenna, headend, etc.) or connect the
generator directly to the RF input of the meter. If necessary, the meter can
feed the generator using the Supply Output option from the Settings menu
(key C).
8 Active the signal generator and in the equipment, press the Set Reference
key .
9 Once are set the references for the pilot signals, let the signal generator
connected to the source point of the distribution system and take
measurements in each user access point with the equipment.
10 In each measurement a message over each pilot signal indicates whether
the measure "Pass" or "Fail" according to the parameters set.
11 The measurement data from the Attenuation Test can be saved through
the Datalogger tool. To do this, when creating a new datalogger, in the
option Include Attenuation Tests, select Terrestrial and/or Satellite.
Then, the user must perform a datalogger from the test point where he is
performing the attenuation test. Another quick option it is to select the "Test
& Go" function in the "Datalogger" menu. This option creates automatically
one channel plan (TER ICT or SAT ICT according to the current band) and
starts to save measurements. The data will be saved and can be checked
and transferred to a PC. For more information, see "Datalogger" section
under the "Tools" chapter. Also measurement data or screen image can be
exported by pressing the Export
Chapter 5: TOOLS
(key C) select the terrestrial or satellite band.
