MODEL MS1400
Introducing
the MS1400
INTRODUCTION
The MS1400 is a high-performance instrument designed for cable
television technicians. The meter permits level measurements on analog
signals and digitally modulated carriers.
The durable, water-resistant MS1400 makes innovative use of a graphics
LCD screen to simplify operation. The LCD backlight makes
measurements easier in crawl spaces and behind television sets. Also,
the display is easy to see in bright sunlight.
DIGITAL CARRIER MEASUREMENT
As digital services such as audio, video, Internet, and telephony become
more common, a way of accurately measuring their carriers is needed.
The MS1400 provides an average power measurement of QPSK, 16-
QAM, 64-QAM, 256-QAM, QPR, BPSK, CAP-16 and other modulation
schemes. To be measurable, carriers must be in a state of continuous
(non-burst) transmission.
MEASUREMENT LOGGING
With the MS1400, you can store installation checks that you have
performed throughout the day. You can also store scan and tilt
measurements. Each file is time and date stamped and can be recalled
later for viewing on the LCD screen.
