HELP 

The meter is switched to the auto-discovery function in which 
it tries to automatically identify the tuning parameters for the 
pointed digital carrier. First of all, the meter tries to deter-
mine the modulation type. Once the modulation has been 
identified, the meter determines (in a certain range) the exact 
centre frequency of the carrier.
Last, the meter tries to demodulate the signal. In doing so, 
either different symbol rate values (for SAT and CATV signals) 
or channel bandwidths (for DVB-T/T2 channels) are set.
