DS2400T DVB-T2 Signal Analysis Meter Operation Manual

1. General Introduction

DS2400T is an ideal meter for DVB-T/T2 and DVB-C

signals testing, which is a new model with color screen

and high performance. It demodulates and accurately

measure the COFDM signals carried through the

terrestrial TV system. Also it supports main function of

CATV system measurement, including digital TV and

analog TV. This model can measure and display most

indexes of Digital TV (Channel Power, MER, BER,

Constellation Diagram); Analog TV(Single-frequency

Level, Carrier Level of Full Channels Spectrum, HUM).

Also DS2400T can measure Frequency Spectrum

Scanning, Trunk Voltage and Battery Voltage.

DS2400T has RS-232 port for communicating with PC

software – TOOLBOX which can manage and analyze

the testing result file.

Configuration:

DS2400T

Standard

DVB-T

Option

DVB-C
