PathTrak Field View (OPT3)
PathTrak mode operation is available only if your unit has OPT3, Field View.
The PathTrak mode provides increased troubleshooting accuracy by
allowing the technician to compare spectrum measurements at the node
with the current conditions at the headend. In the PathTrak mode, the SDA-
5000 field receiver displays all or part of the return path spectrum in the
5MHz to 65MHZ range.
Press the PathTrak key or choose the PathTrak icon from the Navigator to
activate the PathTrak mode.
The PATHTRAK configuration menu items shown in Fig. 8-1 must be set
to allow communication between the PathTrak system and the SDA field
unit.
