Performing a Measurement Campaign
When the HD PROTAB is equipped with an internal GPS receiver is possible to activate the Test
Drive APP.
This App allows the user to perform on-field measurement campaigns driving in a car and having
the meter simply connected to a roof antenna (see the Test Drive brochure for more information
about cabling, recommended antenna and meter’s installation in the car).
This can be very practical for Network Operators because it allows them to verify the signal
coverage in a certain service area and also to compare the coverage of several signals
simultaneously (the round-robin mode is available using the meter with the ROVER Test Drive
desktop Application).
Test Drive function is accessible through the
Special Functions menu, after having selected the
TV measurement interface.
The user should specify type (Analog TV, DVB-T or DVB-T2) and frequency of the signal, as well
as BW and (in case of DVB-T2 signal) the desired PLP. Measurement mode can be
ALL , meaning
that the configured signal will be entirely demodulated to extract all TPS information; or can be
FIELD ONLY , meaning that only the field strength of the signal will be measured during the
campaign.
Finally, the sampling time can be set to
MANUAL , meaning that the user will manually sample the
singal pressing ENTER when in measurement mode; or can be set to a value ranging from 1 to 30
seconds for automatic sampling.
