7.2 Tilt Analysis
Tilt measurement is used to check the channel levels at the lowest and highest frequencies because level across the frequency
spectrum are indicative of distortion. Tilt measurement is also the most efficient tool for balancing distribution amplifiers. By tapping
on the channel bars to select a channel then press the Enter key, the Tilt measurement will measure the two most recently selected
channels.
Typically, the same analog and digital channels which have been recommended or defined for the Scan function should be used
when performing Tilt measurements. Often, Tilt measurements are useful to identify excessive cable lengths at the customer
premises that can cause high frequency roll off.
The CX380C measures up to 8 analog and 8 digital channels simultaneously. Normally, the tilt is measured from the lowest
frequency channel to the highest frequency channel; however, any two channels can be selected to measure their tilt by tapping on
the channel in the bar graph. The selected channel’s bar graph will change to Yellow.
Press the

key
on the keypad to engage the selected channel.
