Planar IT-14 Operating Manual Download Page 12

The range of voltage measurement at the Analyzer input is from 10 to 100 V. The absolute error of the 

measurement is lower than ±1.5 V. The measured value of the voltage is indicated in position 7 (Figure 
4.3.5). If the voltage is direct you will see 

V= 

on the screen, if it is alternating 

V~ 

will appear. 

 
To measure channel parameters, select the required channel by 

 and 

 arrows. 

If no channel plan is selected, using 

 and 

 arrows you can switch to any channel in accordance with 

the channel template (Section 4.7). Once a signal is detected, the Analyzer will automatically determine the 
channel type. The measurements will be performed in accordance with these parameters. 

If one of the channel plans has been selected (Section 4.5), the selection will be performed between the 

channels of the plan.  

You can access other measurement modes using functional keys. 

F1

 key will open SCAN mode (Section 

4.3.3). 

F2

 key will activate the mode of signal level measurement in a frequency point. 

F3

 key will open 

MER/BER measurement mode (Section 4.3.6), if the selected channel is digital. 

 
The view of the screen in the mode of signal level measurement in a frequency point is shown in Figure 

4.3.7. 

 

 

Figure 4.3.7 

 
In this mode V/A ratio and C/N ratio are not displayed, as well as 

D

 message. 

In the mode of signal level measurement in a frequency point the level is measured at the selected 

frequency. This mode is indicated by 

Hz

 message in the command line. The tuning to the frequency is 

performed with 125 kHz step by 

 and 

 arrows. 

Pressing 

F2

 key you can return to channel parameters measurement mode. 

4.3.3  SCAN measurement mode 

 

The 

 icon in the Main menu refers to this mode. This mode displays the signal levels as a bar-

graph. See Figure 4.3.8: 

 

 

Figure 4.3.8 

 
On the screen you will see the following data: 
1 – number of channel indicated by marker  
2 – command line with commands activated by 

F1

F2

 and 

F3 

keys 

3 – channel name (when working with selected channel plan) 
4 – measured level of channel indicated by marker, in dBmV, dBuV or dBm 
5 – marker 
6 – channel status: 

A

 – analog, 

D

 - digital. 

 
You can navigate the marker by means of 

 and 

 

keys. 

If no channel plan has been selected, all the channels of the channel allocation standard will be 

displayed on the screen. Channel modulation type is determined automatically when you enter the mode and
