The tuning frequency, its related channel, if available, and the current program are shown on next line
down.
• SYMB and the Symbol rate.
• Next line down we find MOD and the type of constellation set, or the indication AUTO. On the
same line M is shown followed by the attenuation engaged.
• On the bottom line SPECT and the polarity set is shown, or AUTO.

9.1.6 How to Use the QAM Card
Program the frequency as for a normal analogue channel.
To initiate QAM operations press MORE, DCP and BER if you are in MEAsuring mode, or press
DIGITAL (35), then BER if you are on SPECTrum , spectrum EXPanded or TV mode
For the module to function properly, the PWR index reading (see Figure 21) must read “OK”. If
necessary, use the attenuator engaging the lowest attenuation step which guarantees the “OK” reading.
Modulation and spectrum are automatically set.
The Symbol Rate can be set as follows:
PRMT.
SYMB.
Shaft encoder and, if necessary, and to set the value.
BACK to terminate.
While the OFDM card is operating it is possible to change the tuning frequency as in the case of the
UHF band in analogue, but keep in mind the fact that the response time of the instrument in the digital
mode is longer. When storing a program, Symbol Rate, Modulation and Spectrum Polarity will be
stored as well together with the other typical parameters such as such frequency, etc. by means of the
key ↓↓ STORE (30).
To exit the OFDM function press BACK, then EXIT. See APPENDIX B for more details.
