Spectrum
Spectrum mode is available from the Sub-menu (press the UP arrow while the signal level or carrier/noise display is on screen). Scroll down to highlight Spectrum, and press the RIGHT arrow. The screen will change to display the spectrum. The graphic will be centred on the frequency of the selected transponder: in our example of a Low Band setting, the display is centred on 10728MHz. The span (range of frequencies displayed on screen) is set by default to 240MHz; which gives a display of 8 adjacent carriers at 30MHz spacing. By pressing the DOWN button, you can cycle through a range of spans from 60MHz (to zoom in on one carrier in particular) to 1200MHz. Centre the chosen frequency on the display by pressing the LEFT and RIGHT buttons. Note that you will not be able to go beyond the limits for each band, which are indicated by arrows pointing right (lowest frequency) or left (highest). Note that the Low Band coverage extends from 10700MHz to 11600Mhz, and the High Band from 11550MHz to 12750MHz, so there is some overlap between the Low and High Band for Universal LNBs. RF level is shown by a solid band at each sampled frequency (see image). There will be areas of low-level signal between the carriers, and the bigger the distance between peaks and valleys, the better the carrier-tonoise ratio. Good C/N ratio is important for trouble-free reception! The top line of the screen alternates between Centre plus the selected frequency (shown at the dotted vertical line in the centre of the display) and Span plus the frequency span in MHz. In Span view, the polarisation of the carrier (H)orizontal or (V)ertical is shown. If High Band is in use, and 22KHz is enabled, the tone symbol will appear next to the Polarity.

Tip: If you have defined a custom carrier you can view it in spectrum mode too.

Constellation
Provided the meter is locked to a DVB QPSK modulated carrier, Constellation mode is available from the Sub-menu (press the UP button while the signal level or carrier/noise display is on screen). If there is no lock, the option will be greyed out. This type of diagram is almost meaningless when it cannot display formatted QPSK data dots would appear randomly in each quadrant, and there would be no visible pattern. In the Sub-menu, scroll down to highlight Constellation, and press the RIGHT arrow. The screen will change to the QPSK constellation display and a listing of the current transponder settings. The graphic displays the 4 quadrants of a QPSK signal. A good display will show a focused cluster of dots in each quadrant. The more concentrated the cluster, the better the quality of the received signal; dots straying from the cluster indicate noise on the signal, phase errors, and other unwanted artefacts. The aim is to achieve the best result possible, which a thorough alignment of the LNB should achieve. With the constellation diagram, you get reassurance that the adjustments have been done well. At the right side of the screen is a list of the parameters for the currently chosen transponder: Frequency in MHz: this is the measured frequency after pull-in by the meters AFC, so the displayed value may differ slightly from the nominated value in the configuration file; Symbol Rate in kiloBaud (kiloSamples / Second): the data rate is critical in identifying and locking to the selected carrier; FEC (forward error correction) value: data on the selected carrier will conform to one of a short list of standard FEC values; IQ Norm indicates that no IQ Swap is not present. At bottom right, there is a display of the charge state of the battery pack. Tip: The constellation diagram can be used down stream from the LNB to trace problems caused by faulty components that introduce noise and affect the quality of the digital signal.

This illustration shows how a typical QPSK constellation diagram would be represented.

Custom carrier
Using the Custom Carrier feature Custom carrier enables you to specify your own carrier and store this directly in the hardware in a separate area of memory. This can be very useful for optimising a specific service once the satellite has been located - and this feature can be used for VSAT installations too. Highlight the Custom Carrier option on the sub menu and press the right arrow button.

On this screen we can select the LNB voltage: 18 Volts for Horizontal or 13 Volts for Vertical. Press the right arrow key to step on to the IQ screen. Note: If you are using a block type LNB for VSAT installation, 18 Volts is typically selected to power this kind of LNB, as the polarisation is manually adjusted. Consult your LNB documentation for its operational requirements.

Here we can select IQ unswapped (Norm) or Swap. Sometimes IQ Swap is required to obtain a lock but for most of the time this is left selected to Norm (Normal). use the Swap selection if you failed to obtain a lock so far. IQ Swap is more common on C-Band services. Press the right arrow key to step onto the Save and Exit screen once you have made your selection.

By pressing the down arrow key on this screen all of the values you have set will be discarded and the meter will return to searching mode on the last satellite selected before entering Custom Carrier mode. Alternatively, use the right arrow key to cycle through the custom carrier options to set another carrier of your choice.

Discard S Searching

Note: The HDSM USB / USB PLUS is only compatible with DVB or DSS QPSK modulated carriers and will not show a lock on other types of modulation such as DigiCipher, DVB-S2 8PSK or Turbo encoded services. When using lower symbol rates (less than 04000) it may take a few seconds to obtain a lock, and it will require much slower motion when pointing your antenna. Tip: Common carrier configurations can result in a multiple lock situation. For example, carriers that have an FEC of 3 / 4 and a Symbol Rate of 22000, 27500 or 30000 will probably lock on multiple satellites. Where possible, look for unique Symbol Rates that are unlikely to be duplicated on other satellites at the defined frequency.
