- Serial Number: Base Unit serial number;
- Soft ver: number of the installed software version.
The lower part of the screen displays the identification information of the Removable
Module:
- Removable Module: removable module type;
- Modification: hardware version modification;
- Serial number: Removable Module serial number.
If the Removable Module is broken or switched off, this information is unavailable and
will be displayed as question marks or dash lines.
4.9. Audio Indication Check
To check the audio indication function switch your Analyzer to sound check in
operational parameters setting mode (section 4.7.5) and set the required volume (section
4.7.4). You can check the audio indication when operating in measurement mode for
frequency point (section 4.3.2). If audio indication check mode is on,
Sound check
message will appear in the line of TV signal parameters (indices 4, 7, see figure. 4.4).
Operation in this mode is the same as described in section 4.3.2. Except for the audio
carrier frequency is being determined in the process of the Analyzer tuning to channels,
while
Video/Audio and Signal/Noise parameters are not measured. Sound check cannot
be activated in other measurement modes. Audio indication attribute is saved after power
off and will restore after you turn your Analyzer on again.
When sound check mode is active and attenuator auto selection is on (section 4.3.10)
the attenuation value will be determined only once at measurement mode start. If in the
process of measurements the signal level changes, this can lead to incorrect
measurements.
You should take into consideration that operation in sound check mode will increase the
consumption current of your Analyzer, what will reduce the time of operation from the
batteries.
4.10. Operation Controlled by PC
4.10.1. General Information
You can control operation of your IT-088 via PC. For connection to PC use Serial Port
connector on the right panel of your Analyzer. In the IT-088 package there comes included
cable for connection to PC and a CD with the software, which allows the following:
a) measurement of video carrier level, carrier to noise (C/N) ratio, video to audio (V/A)
ratio within TV signal spectrum for analogue channels, and also actual channel power,
signal to noise (S/N) ratio;
b) measurement of DVB-T/H signal reception quality parameters;
c) measurement of spectrum within an arbitrary frequency band (from 5 to 900 MHz);
d) viewing and saving of data logger pages;
e) editing of channel plans;
f) editing of channel allocation system;
g) saving and documenting of measurement results.
4.10.2. Configuration Requirements
Minimal system requirements for your PC:
a) Intel Pentium processor (100 MHz or greater);
b) Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 (SP6
or greater), or Microsoft Windows ME/98 operating system;
