As well as the video carrier / noise level ratio (C/N) (40.1 dB in previous figure), the
frequency or channel (depending on the tuning mode selected) and the level of the video
carrier and video/audio ratio are also shown. When representing the spectrum by means
of pressing
[13] key, the NOISE cursor is automatically positioned to a side of the
carrier tuned. That is, the cursor will indicate the point where the value of the noise is
lower, whenever the C/N(AUTO) option is selected from the PREFERENCES
menu. If the C/N(MANUAL) option has been activated the frequency where noise level
will be measured will correspond to the position of the vertical discontinuous green-
coloured cursor that appears in the spectrum graph
In order to modify this frequency, press the measurement configuration
key, to accede to the CONFIGURATION menu. By turning the rotary selector [1], locate
the NOISE cursor on the position of the marker using
