The SPECT button gives access to the signal spectrum visualization. Similarly to what
happens for channel plans, the signal spectrum displayed on the meter will depend on
which is the standard selected before entering the SPECT function (SAT, TV or CATV).
BARSCAN function is only available during Terrestrial TV or Cable TV measurements and
gives access to the Bar Graph displaying the detected channels and their RF level. Il this
menu is also possible to execute the TILT graph, selecting up to 10 channels in the channel
plan to be used as reference.
The mechanical encoder could be used to move the selector across the screen's icons or menus;
it can be rotated in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions. Pressing the encoder will act
as an "ENTER", enabling parameters configuration or menus activation.
The front panel is also equipped with 3 LEDs: MAINS, BAT.CHRG and DC@RF IN. For
the last one, the meaning is straightforward: if the LED is ON, the meter is biasing the
signal source with a DC voltage; conversely, if the LED is OFF, no DC supply is given by
the meter.
MAINS and BAT.CHRG are linked each other and depending on their status, the meaning can be
different. Hereunder you can find a table that summarizes LED statuses and the corresponding
meaning:
