Global setup allows you to configure aspects of the unit not specifically
related to measurements. Measurements setup permits the operator to
setup parameters specific to measurements. Channel Plan setup allows you
to configure channel tuning for a particular cable system. Sweep Transceiver
setup lets the operator setup sweep transmission parameters. PathTrak
accesses the PathTrak parameters, and Diagnostics allows you to test the
unit’s operation.
Global Setup
To enter the GLOBAL setup screen (Fig. 13-5), select GLOBAL from the
main CONFIGURE menu. There are eleven options available from the
GENERAL setup screen. Use the up and down soft keys to scroll to
additional setup items. When lists are being displayed, the up arrow dims
when the first item in the list is reached, and the down arrow soft key dims
upon reaching the last item.
