Atec Acterna-MS1000-1200-1300D-1400 - Manual (Page 6)

StealthWare™ software
Signal level measurements can be
uploaded for storing, viewing, and
printing. StealthWare™ allows the
building of channel plans and test
locations that can be downloaded to
the field meter (MS-1300D, MS-1400).
Multilingual LCD screen
The user interface is now fully
converted for the language requested,
allowing technicians to learn to use
and read the meter in their own
language:
French, Portuguese,
German, Spanish, and Italian (MS-
1400).
Digital and analog limits
Cable networks have analog and
digital carriers. The levels of analog
and digital signal measurements differ
according to standards and
regulations.
Digital signals are
typically 6-14 dB below analog signals.
Users can enter minimum and
maximum digital channel level limits
separately from analog limits in the
MS-1400 only. Analog limits are
available in the MS-1200D and MS-
1300D. Scan mode, installation check,
and AutoTest will measure both digital
(MS-1400) and analog signals
accurately. This allows easy identi-
fication of the PASS/FAIL condition of
both channel limits sets.

SIGNAL LEVEL METERS
Upgradeable to leakage meter
The MS-1400 can be factory-upgraded
to a CLI-1450 to add leakage detection.
They can also be upgraded to a
CLI-1750, which when communicating
with the LST-1700 transmitter,
provides more installation test
functionality such as minisweep and
frequency domain reflectometry.
The MS-1400 has a limit set for analog channels and a limit set for digital channels. The MS-1200D and MS-1300D
have a limit set for analog channels only
