3.3.1 Main Menu Options
Note: For all of the following subsections, please refer to the Front Panel Flow as shown in Figure
1 - PRO Receiver Front Panel Flow.
When the receiver’s front panel is not being used, the idle screen featuring the company
1
logo will be displayed. There are
two important statistics displayed on this front logo screen: EB,
energy per bit relative to noise floor
, which is a quantitative
measure of signal quality; and AG,
automatic gain
, which is an indicator of the signal level. Both of these quantities serve to
describe the quality of the satellite signal and should be used as a guide when positioning the satellite dish. Better signals
have better separation between the data and noise floor, and thus a higher EB. EB range is 0 - 15. Levels above 15 will be
displayed as “>15”. The receiver will fade in and out below 5 dB E
b
/N
0
, and lose lock completely at around 3.5 dB. A powerful
signal will have a high AG (indicating little amplification is required) while a weak signal will have a low AG (indicating unit is
amplifying signal).
