The
TV EXPLORER II / II+
is designed to integrate measurements that require
different operating configurations. In this way it incorporates a specific function to
facilitate the
alignment of antennas
. When activating the alignment function the
instrument is set automatically to offer a
fast
spectrum
sweep
and a high
sensitivity
graphical bar that allows
fine adjust
for the maximum signal. In addition it includes a
module for the
powering of LNBs
and
DVB-T antennas
to 5V, and the commands for
the
programming
of
DiSEqC 1.2
and
SatCR devices
.
The
EXPLORER
can be updated to new software versions that extend the available
functions in the future. That means it can incorporate new benefits without additional
cost. For example, in the
test
of
satellite signals distribution networks
, using
combined with an
IF
generator permits to carry out an easy verification of the
installations before commissionning.
The
spectrum analyser
features with high accuracy, resolution, sensitivity and
sweep speed allows the instrument to be very useful for applications as the
installation
of antennas
or the detection of complex
impulsional noise
events. It presents an
innovative control system based on four arrows, that makes the use of the spectrum
analyser very intuitive. The arrows allow adjusting the
reference level
by steps of 10 or
5 dB and the frequency margin
span
on screen.
To enhance its convenience of use, it includes
memories
to store automatically
the different data acquisitions, i.e.: acquisition name, test points, frequency, channel
plan, etc.,. Moreover, the
DATALOGGER
function makes it much easier to test systems
in which a large number of measurements have to be made, and enables further
processing of all the information acquired using a computer system. The equipment is
able to generate automatic measurement reports and to update itself through Internet by
means of
PkTools
provided software.
The
TV EXPLORER II+
in addition, allows to record and to play a
TS
corresponding to services from a digital channel. For it, the equipment uses an internal
memory of up to 1 GB.
Also, this meter incorporates a
DiSEqC
command generator and permits to
supply different voltages to the external unit (
5 V / 13 V / 15 V / 18 V / 24 V
) and includes
an
EUROCONNECTOR
, or Scart connector, for audio/video input/output.
The
TV EXPLORER II / II+
is powered by
rechargeable battery
or connected to
the mains through the supplied
external DC power charger
.
It incorporates a
USB
port, which enables the communication with a PC and to
download dataloggers and channel plans.
