Overview measurement 
This measurement determines the modulation accuracy of a digitally modulated single carrier QAM 
signals. The measurement results are checked against the limits and displayed in a table. In this table, 
only the important result parameters of digital TV signals are displayed. Less important result 
parameters are provided by the Modulation Errors measurement (modulation analysis).
Result parameters that failed the check are displayed in red and bold characters, the table cell is 
marked with a star. Result parameters that passed the checks are displayed in green characters. A 
global pass or fail comment is displayed in the upper left table corner on a green (for passed) or red (for 
failed) background.
