8.2 Channel Sweep Test
The Channel Sweep Test (available from the main RF menu) provides RF measurements for up to 12
channels on the wire, serving as a batch test of a group of channels. The results produced for each
channel are a subset of the information produced when a Single Channel Test is run. For a description
of these results, see Channel testing measurements/results on page 8-12.
8.2.1 Channel Sweep Test setup
In the test setup, each tab represents a single channel to include with the test. Tabs without data
populated are ignored. Note the following:
• All channels share a common Location which determines the set of thresholds to use for flagging
test results. This field must be set in the first tab. For more information, see Thresholds on page 8-23.
• In each tab, you can specify a channel either by channel number or by frequency/type. To select
channels by number, you must have an active channel guide on the unit which allows the unit to
correlate the number with a frequency and type. Otherwise, channel frequencies and types can be
specified directly. In general, the use of a guide is preferred. For more information on channel guides,
see View Channel Listings on page 8-7.
Additionally, note the following about channel selection:
– The unit will reject any frequencies that are not valid according to the current EIA channel table on
the unit.
– If the unit can correlate a frequency with a channel in the active channel guide (if applicable), it
will automatically select the Type and disable the input field.
