Field View
The Field View measurement mode (additional purchase required) is
provided for use with PathTrack or Phasor monitoring systems. It
yields:
– Remote spectrum display of the upstream (return) path as
selected for broadcast
– Increased troubleshooting accuracy by allowing you to compare
spectrum measurements at the node with the current conditions at
the headend
– A Return Signal Generator (RSG) can be requested at time of
purchase
The RSG provides a continuous wave (CW) signal on the upstream
path that is frequency and level configurable. This signal enables you
to verify the Field View two-way functionality and may be used to
determine the return path viewed by PathTrak or Phasor monitoring
system.
