Fig. 13-11 The C/N Screen
To make a carrier to noise measurement, press the C/N measurement mode
key. The C/N ratio of the tuned channel or frequency will be displayed.
Bandwidth Adjustments
To edit the bandwidth, press the BW soft key. The bandwidth can be
adjusted by using the up and down diamond keys or by entering a value
using the numeric keypad and then pressing the Enter key. The FCC
specification for C/N measurements is a bandwidth of 4.2 MHz. CATV
organizations outside of the United States may have different requirements.
Noise Offset Frequency Adjustments
The frequency at which the noise level is measured is the carrier frequency
plus the noise offset. To adjust the noise offset, press the OFFSET soft key.
The offset can be adjusted by using the up and down diamond keys or by
entering a value using the numeric keypad and then pressing the Enter key.
NOTE: BW and Noise Offset values can be defined
individually for each channel. When tuning by channel
number, the BW and Noise Offset values can be adjusted
using the Offset and BW soft keys. However, these
adjustments will affect the C/N screen only and will not
change the setup value in the channel plan.
