Pressing right arrow the parameter changes from one option to another.
There is no need to confirm the change.
The selected modulation scheme can be observed in the second line of the
main screen.
Figure 3.4 Main screen. Modulation scheme parameter highlighted
Bear in mind that the QPSK is the most robust modulation scheme and 64
QAM the least robust. On the other hand, using 64QAM modulation a higher
bitrate can be transmitted.

FEC (Forward Error Correction)
The ETSI EN 300744 defines five FEC types (1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8) for
the COFDM transmission system.
To configure the FEC to be used in transmission, once in SETUP menu:
1.
Select line no.5 (FEC) using Up and Down arrows.
2.
Press right arrow to change the value of this parameter.
Pressing the right arrow the parameter changes from one value to another.
There is no need to confirm the change.
The FEC value is related to the redundant bits that are introduced in the
transmitted signal in order to correct in the receiver the possible errors that
have occurred during the transmission. So, the higher the FEC value (1/2)
the more protected the transmitted signal will be, although the useful
bitrate decreases
3.6
Guard interval (1/4, 1/8, 1/16 o 1/32)
To configure the guard interval to use in the transmission:
1.
Using Up and Down arrows select line no.6 (Guard Interval) in the
SETUP menu.
2.
Press right button to change the value of this parameter.
Pressing the right arrow the parameter value changes from one option to
another (1/4, 1/8, 1/16 o 1/32). There is no need to confirm the change.
