The DSA-600 & DSA-640 Signal Analysers are a new range of Digital/Analogue, Satellite & Terrestrial & Cable measurement instruments. These analysers measure actual demodulated digital parameters such as Average Digital Power, BER, SNR, MER as well as the constellation for COFDM, QPSK, 8PSK and QAM carriers. A visual check of the digital multiplex or the Network ID can be checked on both the two instruments. Worldwide channel plans are pre loaded on both instruments and in addition Auto Discovery of available channels quickly locates signals by transponder (for satellite) and by channel (for terrestrial) signals. For analogue TV and FM/DAB Radio services, measurements such as signal levels, V/A ratio and CNR can easily be acquired at the touch of a single button. Two screens are available at each instrument: LCD type the one, with a very high brightness, and TFT the other, featuring 16:9 format and high resolution to access better presentation of measured data as well as viewing actual images from the available programs, included those of the High Definition TV programs when using the DSA-640 model. Each instrument offers two operating modes: MEAS, which provides accurate values of the parameters measured, and SPECT, which shows professional, vertical format spectrums for the frequencies and spans selected with a Max Hold function. Both analysers are able to Data Log all results measured. All stored information can be downloaded to a PC through a USB-2 port that also provides PC control using the SMART software available on www.ikusi.com. Both instruments are sturdily built and come in a padded shock absorbing bag. Power is supplied through the on board long lasting Li-ion batteries or via AC mains through the AC power adapter/charger provided.
