4. The FSM 450 features an automatic channel search function The search is carried out according to a certain threshold as defined by the user in the Search Level It also depends on whether the meter is in channel tuning mode or frequency tuning mode If the meter is in channel tuning mode it is carried out according to the selected channel plan The equipment automatically searches for the corresponding channel according to the plan and if the video carrier level is higher than the search level then the channel is tuned in If it is not it progresses onto the next channel and so on until it finds a channel with a video carrier level higher than the threshold defined by the user If however the meter is in frequency tuning mode the selected channel plan is not taken into account Instead the meter uses the frequencies in the spectrum When the equipment finds a frequency that is higher than the established threshold it carries out a selective search within a specific margin of frequencies to find the maximum and then it tunes that frequency as the video carrier If once a channel has been tuned in this way the equipment switches to channel tuning mode the tuned channel may not be in the selected channel plan so the equipment will tune the nearest channel within this plan The automatic channel search can be a very useful function when checking an installation Thanks to this function it is possible to see the channels automatically and
5. Notes It is important to check the status of the scart mode selection as if it is in Scart on mode we will not be able to see the TV signal onscreen when we want to use the equipment in normal mode input signal in the RF connector If there is a signal in the scart and if this is being seen onscreen auto or on the meter will carry on functioning normally as regards the measurements In other words the measurements that are carried out will correspond to the signal at the input of the F connector It is not possible to take measurements of the scart signal The same will happen with the spectrum representation of the signal in other words although the picture that we have onscreen will come from the scart the spectrum will correspond to the RF input signal The only exception is the representation of the synchronism burst this will indeed correspond to the synchronism of the scart s signal sa Telev s Multimetter FSM 450 Ref 5922 If the meter has a digital measurement window open Power or C N it will be impossible to see the scart signal although this may be in auto mode Therefore if you wish to see the scart signal make sure that the meter is not carrying out a digital measurement If you wish to see any TV signal onscreen it is worth remembering that you can remove all the menus from the screen by using the Clear Menu button and the measurement windows by using the E button or by accessing the Viewin
