Antenna installation: DiSEqCTM & SaTCR commands

The TV EXPLORER has been designed to make compatible different types of measurements that require of very different working configurations.

A specific function has been developed to easy antenna alignment.

In this mode, the instrument configures itself to offer a very fast sweep time in spectrum analyser mode. At same time, it shows a high sensitivity graphic bar that allows the fine adjustment of signal peaks, necessary to optimise antenna alignment.
