Spectrum Analysis
The ST-5810 can also provide a spectral display of the selected channel including intermodulation products or other undesired
signals that may be present.
For a digital channel, this measurement shows the actual shape of the modulation "haystack" to determine if there are any
problems with the digital transmission system. This feature provides you with a powerful tool for checking in-channel flatness or
mismatches that might affect digital transmission quality.
Multi-Channel Scan
The Channel Scan Measurement function displays the full span of video and audio carriers in the selected user channel plan. This
mode is useful to make a quick check of your system's overall flatness and amplitude.
Amplitude limits can be imposed on the display and the frequency marker can be used to isolate any suspect channel that
appears in the display.
Limit Measurement
The ST-5810 can perform a complete test of all analog channels in the selected user channel plan to specified limits. All
channels are listed with Pass or Fail results, and the user may select any channel to review its individual test results. In addition,
results for the entire channel plan, such as Maximum ∆ Video and Maximum ∆ Adjacent Channel, are seen on the test-result display.
SNR Measurement
The ST-5810 can perform measurement of the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (or SNR) of Analog (NTSC, PAL) non-scrambled channels.
Measurement Report Saving and Viewing
Power Level, Tilt, Spectrum, Channel Scan, Limit measurements can be saved and transferred through the USB-C to local
computer. The ST-5810 has the capability to store the amplitudes of all video and audio carriers. These data records can be
captured in memory and later recalled or uploaded.
