Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)

The IB SNR displays on the OSD as an estimate of the carrier signal-to-noise ratio in dB with

an explanation for the value:

Table 4-16

In-Band SNR - OSD

Value Description

GOOD

Good value

FAIR

Marginal signal level, check the signal

POOR

Unusable signal

INVALID

SNR value not valid

This display is only valid when carrier lock has been established.

Automatic Gain Control (AGC)

An estimate of the AGC displays in percentage and an explanation for the value displays on the

OSD.

Table 4-17

5 SECOND ERROR COUNTS

Indicates the number of correctable and uncorrectable errors in the digital multiplex. The

display is updated every 5 seconds and is reset each time the DCT* is power cycled or another
digital multiplex is tuned. The count is shown in decimal format and the maximum value is

9999. The maximum value displayed is 9999 even if the number of errors exceeds 9999.
