The DS2400Q is a multifunction instrument, which supports QAM constellation and analog signals for CATV networks. It is the ideal tool for initial network construction, for subscriber installations as well as for service and troubleshooting tasks. Its ruggedized design, which includes a shock protector, combined with icon display GUI and auto pass/fail specified limit feature provides increased efficiency and productivity for all types of technicians.
Other features such as return path & forward spectrum scan, 12 favorite tilt frequencies, AC line voltage test, HUM and DC voltage measurements, combined with complete data logging and a management software, makes this unit a versatile tool for cable installations.
MER, PRE & Post BER measurements and BER statistics feature allows quick testing of loose connections related to pixelating or slow DS internet data flow. This function can identify mismatches caused by open coaxial lines or corroded devices.
