Sencore RFXpert Software
- True demodulated digital readings for MER, Pre-BER, Post BER, and EVM
- No calculated readings which can leave you wondering about the accuracy of each measurement
Overview
The RFXpert RF Measurement and Analysis software provides snapshot of your RF signal quality, including; RF level, MER, Pre-BER and Post BER for quick troubleshooting and RF analysis.
The DTU-236 can be combined with Sencore’s RFXpert software for a truly powerful RF measurement tool. RFXpert provides easy-to-read spectral displays, both constellation and eye diagram displays, and the ability to turn off and on 8-VSB tap equalization to see the uncorrected signal being received.◦ True demodulated digital reading for MER, Pre-BER, Post BER and EVM
◦ A proof-positive method of signal documentation or drop-point comparisons with programmable, user defined logging and auto-inspection capabilities.
Features
- True demodulated digital readings for MER, Pre-BER, Post BER, and EVM
- No calculated readings which can leave you wondering about the accuracy of each measurement.
- A proof-positive method of signal documentation or drop-point comparisons with programmable, user-defined logging and auto-inspection capabilities. Simply set the parameters you want to test the signal against, and run "Auto Inspect". You get a pass/fail report that can be store for future reference or documentation.
