5.2 Monitoring the DVB-S/S2 Input Port Properties
To monitor the ProView 7000™ reception parameters:
1. Navigate Root > Reception.
2. If your device has more than one demodulator, select a satellite input menu, SAT 1–4.
3. Select Status.
The reception status displays whether the physical port is connected or not to the DVB
Multiplex In.
NOTE: Some of the parameters apply to DVB-S or DVB-S2 modes only. They are displayed according to the
mode used.
The Status menu comprises the following:
■ C/N – displays the measured carrier to noise ratio [dBc]
■ Eb/N0 – displays the measured energy per bit to noise power spectral density ratio [dB]
■ Link Margin – displays the measured link margin level [dB]
■ BER – DVB-S only. Display the bit error rate detected.
■ PER Value – DVB-S2 only. Display the packet error rate detected. The BER/PER error rate is
a decimal number x 10-X (therefore, a.b E-X).
■ Carrier Locked – displays the carrier locking status: Locked (Yes) / Unlocked (No)
■ Demodulator Locked – displays the demodulator locking status: Locked (Yes) / Unlocked
(No)
■ Tuned Frequency – displays the reception tuned frequency [MHz]
■ Frequency Offset – displays the reception frequency offset from configured frequency
[MHz]
■ Spectral Inversion – displays the spectral inversion function operational status. Options:
Normal or Inverted
■ Modulation – Displays the reception modulation type
■ FEC Rate – displays the coding rate of the input modulation
■ Pilot – DVB-S2 only. Displays the pilot signals injection status (On/Off)
■ Frame Size – DVB-S2 only. Displays the size of the received frame.
Options: Normal (64,800 bits frame) or Short (16,200 bits frame)
