Max hold function
The usable signal on the return path of a cable system is generated by the active (online) cable
modem. According to the cluster size of a network, the cable modem can transmit more or fewer
frequencies. The registered cable modem may only transmit in certain short time slots. Therefore,
the maximum level for a frequency may only be present for a short amount of time.
For this reason, a max hold function can be switched on in the measuring instrument. Here the
maximum level is saved, starting from the point in time of activation. This indicator only changes
when an even higher level exists temporarily. This function can be switched on and off via the
menu item
MAX HOLD
. If the max hold function is active, the menu item
MAX HOLD
is inverted.
