digital signal before error correction (BER before FEC), the
latter two are shown in analogue form as a bar graph. The
instrument also shows the channel or frequency with the
corresponding deviation, the number of wrong packets
received during the measurement time (W.P.) and information
on the type of digital Multiplex detected (MPEG2, Network,
Provider, Bouquet) which appears cyclically on the screen.
