This sheet contains important information about the operation, installation location and connection of the device. Read these instructions carefully before setting up the device. METER PROPERTIES/SCOPE OF SUPPLY The MSK 200 is a latest generation meter in a compact form which leaves nothing to be desired when it comes to testing antenna and cable systems, even including professional head-ends.
SET UP INITIAL SET UP Before operating the device for the first time remove the T 8.0 A fuse from the packaging and place it in the fuse holder on the rear of the device. After fitting the fuse, the device must be operated/charged for approx. two hours on the mains. Then the device must be operated on the battery and the battery fully discharged at least once (until the device switches itself off).
SET UP USING THE DEVICE ON THE STRAP When the device is used on the strap, also pay attention to adequate ventilation of the device! To avoid a build up of heat, the openings for the fan and the ventilation holes must always be clear.
BASIC INFORMATION ON OPERATION THE HELP FUNCTION The help function for the MSK 200 is very innovative. All the help files are always available as they have been saved in the MSK 200. To open this help, simply press the button. The related help for the specific menu is opened.
BASIC INFORMATION ON OPERATION SECOND FUNCTION on the touch-screen HELP TOUCHSCREEN OPERATION Tap on the touchscreen buttons to select the respective task. This type of button opens a further menu. Sources selection (SOURCE) Measurement selection (ANALYSE) If the “SOURCE” button is pressed, the source selection buttons appear, which can be used to select the signal path.
BASIC INFORMATION ON OPERATION This type of button leads to a selection of various settings (e.g. selection of a channel). This type of button enables letters and numbers to be entered (e.g. programme name entry). Using this button you can (e.g. programme number entry). enter numbers Tap on the screen to set the markers directly or to shift them.
BASIC INFORMATION ON OPERATION To open the zoom window, hold your finger longer on the marker; you can then shift it to the desired position. Press the “FUNCTION” button, tap on the screen and drag the section of the image using your finger (e.g. for the scope the delay time, for the spectrum analyser the centre frequency). This type of button indicates an option that is not currently available on this unit. This type of button indicates a function that is currently active in the unit.
OPERATION SELECTION OF THE SIGNAL SOURCE AND THE MEASUREMENT The most important buttons on the MSK 200 are the and the button. After pressing the button the source, that is the channel to be measured, can be defined. After pressing the button the required measurement can be selected and made. On the MSK 200's display the ANALYSE menu is always at the edge of the screen, the SOURCE menu beside it. The two are to be considered and operated as independent of each other.
OPERATION SELECTION OF THE CHANNEL TO BE MEASURED Now the required measuring channel can be selected: In principle there are various ways you can select the channel 1. Selection of a programme using the programme names 1.1. Select the required channel table using the “Chan.Tab” button. 1.2. The required programme name can be entered in the “Prog.Name” field (here the programme name is automatically completed). 2. Selection of the programme via the channel number 2.1.
OPERATION You will also find information on the different measuring methods in the onboard help. In the normal case, optimum parameter presettings are saved in the MSK 200 for each measurement. However, you can also make many settings to suit the related measurement. These are displayed on the related menu. Additional settings can be opened for some measuring procedures: • SPECTRUM: • CONST.: • SCOPE: MARKER or SETTING IMPULS or CARRIER SEL (only for “DIG TER.
