Application Notes: Reverse Sweep and Balance
328
A
NOTE: You must leave the field unit in this mode for the Tx
to stay active. The cable must be attached to the "OPT"
port on the field unit.
2. The field unit is dc blocking to 200V peak-to-peak. This equates to
approximately 100 Vac.
3. Once a trace is stored, you can alter the dB/div, start & stop freq., etc.
To print this altered trace, hit "Func" & "Print". (Use the printer serial
cable supported by Acterna.)
4. The sweep file overlay is a nice feature to view an existing stored file
and see the actual sweep trace overlaid. (Configure; Sweep File
Overlay).
5. The defacto standard is 2 dB/div for sweeping and 10 dB/div for
spectrum analyzer viewing.
6. Select "Func" & "i" for information about the instrument such as
calibration date, serial number, options installed.
7. Version 9.3 firmware has added a few features worth mentioning.
There is a hard key for Test Point Compensation (func. 7). A hard key
to Select Previous Screen (func. 1) and Password Protection. There is
no need for a summation network now, and the spectrum mode is
faster and has variable dwell times (only in the latest generation of
Stealth and 4040D meters).
8. The Tx will transmit/broadcast the ingress from all the return amplifiers
connected to it back to the field unit. This will be transmitted on the
forward telemetry with 280 kHz of resolution. Return continuity is not
needed for this reception. The noise mode on the Rx transmits the
total noise in the headend also, but with a resolution based off the
return channel plan resolution.
9. You can change the start and stop frequencies in the sweep mode of
the field unit, which makes it easier to move your markers around.
10. Type in the frequency and press “enter” to make a marker jump to that
frequency.
11. Use "Zoom" to zoom in between the markers.
12. Ten people can reverse sweep at the same time with the Rx. The
Stealth receiver unit must be set for the correct telemetry and for
"Multiple Users".
13. The Rx not only displays the noise received, but can also be used to
determine who is reverse sweeping.
