In the following figures several Constellation Diagrams are shown as an example
corresponding to differents common deteriorations in the digital transmission.

Such effects can induce to errors in the detection process and cause erroneous
bits on recovered digital signal.
The PROLINK-4/4C
extend the presentation to only a quadrant between four available ones. Press the key
repeatedly to change of quadrant and to switch on or off the zoom function. It
allows so, a more detailed analysis of the observable effects and facilitates therefore
the accurate diagnosis about causes or agents responsible for the digital signal
deterioration (see figure 29).
REMARK:
In the equipments with colour screen (PROLINK-4C Premium) one
visualizes qualitatively, by means of a colour gradation, the density of
symbols that are concentrated in a certain area. This scale of colours
goes from black (absence of symbols) to the red one (maximum density),
runing through blue and yellow (in ascending order).
