The following example procedure shows you how to configure the equipment and Signal Studio software for a DAB signal receiver test.
In parameter view windows, you can check
and then click the desired parameter for a brief description.
Set up the equipment as shown below.
Open the software and select in the , shown as follows.
Click from the tree view and set the parameters on the carrier setup window as needed. Here, use the default settings.
By clicking
, you can add more carriers to the DAB signals
under test. Signals on each carrier can be configured independently. For
example, one carrier can send DAB signal and another one can send DAB+
signal. For more details, refer to Carrier
Configuration Summary Table.
Select from the tree view. There are two methods to configure the ensemble.
Select or as the Input Pattern, and use an ETI file as payload. Using this method, the parameters for services and service components will be set automatically. Then you can skip step 5, step 6 and go to step 7 directly.
Select as the Input Pattern, then configure each service and service component.
