The MS1300D Signal Level Meter is a high performance instrument designed for
cable television technicians. The durable, water resistant MS1300D makes
innovative use of a graphics LCD to simplify operation. The LCD backlight makes
measurements easier in crawl spaces and behind TVs. The display is easy to see
in bright sunlight.
A scan mode allows you to see the levels of all
carriers in a spectral display. You can also view level measurements at a single
frequency or for a specific channel. When tuned to a channel, the display
indicates the levels of the video and audio carriers, and the difference between
the carrier levels.
When performing an installation, you can press the
Installation Check key to quickly verify that all channels are within limits
that you have defined. You can use this feature to determine whether or not a
subscriber connection meets FCC or other government requirements.
A
special channel plan building mode automatically determines which channels are
active on your cable system. Once you have defined a channel plan, you can copy
it to any MicroStealth unit having a built-in serial port. You can also create
channel plans using StealthWare, the Windows™ based data management package for
Stealth products.
For documentation purposes, you can print any
measurement screen to a serial printer (Wavetek P-Stealth Printer). Following an
installation check, you can print an installation report that can be filed with
the work order. You can also print a report that lists all configuration
settings including the channel plan. The MS1300D tunes from 45 to 550 MHz with
an option to extend the range to 5 to 890 MHz.
MEASUREMENT
LOGGING :
With the MS1300D, you can store installation checks
that you have performed throughout the day. You can also store scan and tilt
measurements. Each file is time and date stamped and can be recalled later for
viewing on the LCD screen.
When viewing a file, you can adjust the screen
settings the same as when you are viewing a “live” measurement. Using the
built-in serial port, you can print files and even upload them to StealthWare
for further analysis and archiving.
AUTO TESTS
:
Automated tests are easy with the MS1300D and provide a
convenient way of acquiring proof-of-performance compliance data. Tests can be
executed immediately or scheduled over a period of time. To conserve battery
life, MicroStealth shuts itself off between scheduled intervals. When
configuring an Auto Test, you can record information about the location at which
the test is being performed. Files can be created for commonly tested locations
so you need only enter the information once.
Auto Tests results are time,
date, and temperature stamped and can be viewed on the LCD screen. Limits are
applied to the measurement data with out-of-tolerance conditions concisely
indicated. You can print a test report for each interval or a comprehensive 24
hour report that summarizes data collected from up to four intervals. Auto Test
result files can be uploaded to StealthWare.
MULTIPLE CHANNEL
PLANS :
The MS1300D stores channel plans that you have built and
edited. This is convenient if you use your MicroStealth for more than one plant.
You can quickly select the correct channel plan for the plant at which you are
working.
