With the aim to have a reference about the signal quality, it is considered that a
system has a good quality when it decodes less than one non-correctable error for
every transmission hour. This border is known as QEF (Quasi-Error-Free) and it
corresponds approximately to a BER before FEC of 2.0E-4 BER (2.0x10
two incorrect bits of every 10,000). This value is marked on the measurement bar of the
BER and therefore, BER for acceptable signals must be at the left side of this mark.
Below the BER analogue bar it is shown the tuned frequency (or channel) and the
frequency deviation in kHz between the tuned frequency and the one which optimizes
the BER (i.e. 800.00 MHz + 1.2 kHz).
This deviation must be adjusted, by means of tuning the channel again, to the
more lower possible value.
In the next line it is shown the number of non-correctable packets received
'wrong packets' (up to a maximum of 126) in the time detailed on its right. A packet is
considered wrong when one, at least, non-correctable bit is detected. To reset this
measurement just modify the measurement conditions: for example change the tuned
frequency.
Finally it is shown a status line which displays information about the detected
signal. The possible messages that can appear and its meaning are shown in the
following list. The messages are exposed from less to more fulfilment of the MPEG-2
standard:
No signal received
Any signal has been detected.
Signal received
A signal is detected but it can not be decoded.
Carrier recovered
A digital carrier has been detected but it can not be decoded.
MPEG-2
Correct detection of a MPEG-2 signal. The BER is showed.
In case of detecting a DVB signal, message MPEG-2 DVB-C will appear and the
DVB Channels Identifier function will be automatically activated. (See section
'4.9.2 DVB Channels Identifier: DCI function').
