Search Time (DVB-S2/S2X)

Menu Path: Trace > Data > Channel x > Search Time

The Search Time trace shows time-data before demodulation, as shown in the following block diagram.

This trace displays the acquired input time data which the demodulator searches for the burst.

For the time traces (Time, Search Time, and Raw Main Time), 0 sec on the X-axis is the trigger location.

Marker Coupling

When marker coupling is used, markers on applicable Demod traces (e.g., Err Vect Time, IQ Meas Time, IQ Ref Time, Mag Error, Phase Error) will couple to the corresponding point on the Time, Search Time and Raw Main Time traces. For Demod traces, frame start (symbol 0) = 0 sec on the x-axis.
