Chapter 2
Description and Basic Operation
This chapter introduces you to the SDA-5000. The user interface is covered
first, beginning with the redesigned Navigator menu, followed by an
explanation of the buttons and keys on the front panel. Covered next are the
unit’s operational modes, including level measurements, sweep, proof-of-
performance measurements (including QAM analysis), the spectrum
analysis tool, and compatibility with Acterna’s PathTrak performance
monitoring system.
General configuration items such as setting the shut-off timeout period,
setting the time and date format, and so on, are discussed next. Configuring
measurement variables, and brief introductions to channel plan, sweep, and
PathTrak configuration follow.
Next, you’ll find information about diagnostic functions that enable you to
reset the unit to the original factory configuration, test the LCD, and check
the unit’s internal transmitter functions. Finally, you’ll learn how to print
measurement screen information and stored files.
