Screen.
The SignalScout continously scans for
ATSC LEVELS
on the selected Chan-
nel and Frequency. There are 2 graphs
displayed - the Power Level (Left) and
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) (Right)
which show the signal strengh, if de-
tected. The signal levels are displayed
numerically under the graphs and can
be toggled between dBm and dBmV.
PRE
errors are coding errors in the data that are automati-
cally corrected by a TV’s error correction algorithm.
POST
errors
cannot be corrected and cause picture problems. The
8 VSB
encoding format is displayed.
Select the
UP
and
DOWN
ARROW
buttons to change the
Channel and Frequency or select the white

FREQUENCY
box to enter a specific number. Select the
GREEN ARROW
button to enter a specific number or select
the “

” to cancel and go back to the
ATSC LEVEL
Screen
without saving the entered data.
Select the
SPEAKER
icon to enable an audible tone that is
proportional to the received signal strength. (No tone below
-79 dBm)
The built-in
COMPASS
gives a direc-
tion for aiming the antenna.
When the
LOCK
icon is shown as
locked and blue, the channel is locked
and being measured.
If
AMP
is displayed below the
LOCK
icon, then the SignalScout is using an
internal amplifier to boost the signal
and the system may require an ampli-
fier for channel reception.

The SignalScout will scan all chan-
nels from the selected frequencies in
the channel plan entered in
SETUP
and displays the power levels for each
frequency in a single graph. The chan-
nels are displayed under the graph in
the black bar. The blue bar displays the
virtual channels if entered in
SETUP
.
Select the
UP
and
DOWN
ARROW

TOTAL
POWER (dBm)
is the sum of the power levels of all detected
channels and is used to optimize anten-
na alignment when multiple channels
are present.
TILT
is displayed for
CATV SCAN
in-
stead of
TOTAL POWER
.
TILT
is calcu-
lated as the last channel power minus
the first channel power.
