5-6 Mini-Scan
An alternative channel scan function, the Mini-Scan, is included in new DS2831 models. Where the standard
channel scan looks at all channels in the active plan, Mini-Scan allows the user to examine up to 16 select
channels of special interest. When launching this mode, you must select 2 or more channels from the active
channel plan to measure.
You can perform a mini-scan in two ways: normal mode and fast mode. Normal mode measures both the
MER value and average power of a digital channel, while fast mode measures only average power.
