DSAM-6300 DigitAl Service AnAlySiS Meter
The Field View QAM dashboard shows a variety
of measurements for the represented carrier, and
results that are outside of user-designated limits are
indicated by color. From the dashboard, technicians
can select a measurement parameter to view more
closely and switch directly to a full-screen display of
that measurement.
The optical power measurement option enables
connecting a USB power meter (JDSU MP60A or
MP80A) for verifying or troubleshooting node light
levels.
Field View QAM™ Option
The unique Field View QAM option lets technicians see upstream impairments that
are invisible to spectrum analyzers and sweep tools. Observing a clean spectrum
with traditional spectrum-analysis tools may indicate a pristine return path;
however, the overall node health reported by the cable modem termination system
(CMTS) and other reporting tools can show a low health score, even after teams
of technicians have been working on the node cleaning up noise issues for several
weeks. With Field View QAM, technicians can quickly identify micro-reflections,
in-band frequency response, and group-delay issues. Armed with the DSAM in
conjunction with MACTrak™ technology in PathTrak, technicians can easily verify
the overall health of return-path carriers.
WiFi Option
The WiFi option enables a USB WiFi adapter to verify WiFi network strength and
connectivity, or to communicate test data to JDSU TechComplete™ Test Productivity
Pack (TPP).
Optical Power Meter Option
The optical power meter option enables connecting a USB power meter (JDSU MP-60
or MP-80) for verifying or troubleshooting node light levels.
SmartID™
Innovative advanced JDSU coax probes enable extremely quick, comprehensive
home network qualification, eliminating repeat truck rolls and making troubleshoot-
ing less costly and more effective.
