For the correct use, see paragraph 5.2 "INDICATIONS FOR PROGRAMMING".
OUTPUT FREQ. – sets the output frequency according to the channel (setting the country and the output chan-
nel) or according to the MHZ frequency (setting the bandwidth and the MHz frequency).
FEC – sets the parameter relevant to FEC (Forward Error Correction) among the possible choices (1/2, 2/3, 3/4,
5/6, 7/8).
GUARD INTERVAL – sets the guard interval among the possible choices (1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32).
CARRIERS NUM. – sets the number of carriers between 2K and 8K.
CONSTELLATION – sets the constellation, QPSK, 16QAM or 64QAM, with which the carriers are modulated.
SPECTRUM – regulates the spectrum as NORMAL or REVERSED according to the reception instrument that
might work only in one of the two modes. Usually the "NORMAL SPECTRUM" setting is used.
LEVEL – regulates the output level on a scale between 0 and 15 to which a STEP equal to 1dB corresponds.
Setting the level to OFF, the output signal is disabled. The OFF output level can be set only during the normal
operation and not when the SINGLETONE function is activated.
SINGLETONE – allows the use of a single tone at the input to facilitate the measurement of the output level.
When the SINGLETONE function is activated, no other channels can be inserted.
