The next step is to test the sweep by connecting the Model 3SR
receiver to a test point and pressing the SWEEP key (Ensure the
3ST Transmitter is also in the Sweep mode). After telemetry is
found, the receiver will begin sweeping. If telemetry is not found
make sure the 3ST Transmitter and the 3SR Receiver are configured
for the same telemetry frequency. Check to ensure the level of the
sweep, seen in empty spectrum areas, is 15 dB below video carrier
level. At first there will be no references for the normalized compari-
son.
Storing A Sweep Reference
Wait until the "wait" indicator on the top of the sweep display
disappears, then press the FILE key. Next press the Sweep Refer-
ences soft key. The first step is to enter the name of the reference.
This can be any name that makes sense to you, and identifies the
location of the reference measurement.
After the reference is stored, press the SWEEP key, and the sweep
will be compared to the reference you just stored. The response
should be relatively smooth, the D marker should indicate < 1.0 dB.
If you have a higher number than this, or if the number is fluctuating
above this, you may need to do some channel plan editing to identify
scrambled channels, or to properly identify active/inactive channels
of FM or data carriers.
4.3 SETUP
There are four setup modes for the 3ST Transmitter; General,
Measurements, Channel Plan, and Sweep Transmitter. General setup
allows the operator to configure general aspects of the unit (not
specifically related to measurements) for personal taste. Measure-
ments setup permits the operator to setup certain parameters that
apply to specific measurements. Channel Plan setup allows the
operator to configure channel tuning to match the specific character-
istics of a particular cable system. Sweep Transmitter setup lets the
operator setup sweep transmission parameters.
