ly valuable function of the meter, which is so useful for the professional installer: the tilt measurement. Up to ten channels can be selected for this. Usually, you would select channels evenly distributed over the whole frequency range. Of course, the selected channels must carry a TV signal. You first measure those channels in the TILT Measure submenu somewhere in the beginning of the cable network, where all the signals are strong and relatively equal in amplitude. then you press the REF button to store those channels’ levels as reference. Then you move to various other points of the network and repeat this measurement. You will see the difference expressed in decibels between the reference level and the current level for every channel. The tilt measurement allows you to quickly identify signal level differences over a specified frequency range. Then all you do is insert an attenuator or an equalizar in order to smoothen the differences according to the cable system’s specifications. Thanks to this, you can easily find out if the cabling along with the distribution equipment does not introduce excessive attenuation in particular parts of the cable TV frequency range.
