ADVANCED
The DISCOVERY family was specifically designed to meet the requirements of installers and operators, who have to rapidly adapt to all the new, emerging, digital technologies: DVB–S, DVB–T, DVB–C, DVB–H and also the new LNB’s with S.C.R. (Single Cable Router) technologies.
POWERFUL
The DISCOVERY meter is the most powerful, compact and economical RADIO–TV–SAT analyzer existing on the market and it allows you to carry out any measurement, on both digital and analog signals, in terrestrial and satellite bands, with direct SAT TRANSPONDER navigation and dual LNB pointing.
MORE PERSONAL
SAFETY
The meter’s size and weight (only 2 Kg) facilitate transport and use. If carried around your neck, the meter allows perfect viewings and readings, keeping both hands free. This not only simplifies operation in normal working conditions, but also guarantees total personal safety even in the most critical situations (on roof tops, ladders, etc.).
FAST and AUTOMATIC
The DISCOVERY meter is the first of its kind to include a built­in, 32 bit, 100 MHz, ARM-7 microprocessor. This, together with a high capacity memory, enables you to identify, analyse and automatically and instantly store the digital and analog TV signals, according to the relative standard used in your country and the meter automatically supplies the measurements of the digital signal quality: FAIL-MARG-PASS.
MORE MEMORY
The high capacity FLASH memory allows you to memorize up to 200 plans, which accommodate many thousands of TV channels and pre–loaded satellite transponders.
USB PORT
A USB-2 port permits PC control, using special and sophisticated software, which simplifies the meter’s operation (special, pre­memorized channel plans, “Data Logger” downloads, implementation of new software releases via internet, etc.)
DUAL DISPLAY
Two displays, one graphic for spectrum/measurements and one 4” TFT color for pictures allow you to obtain, simultaneously and separately spectrum/measurements and full pictures. This guarantees perfect measurement vision both in full sunlight and in the dark.
FULL OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
The meters are supplied with a built-in shoulder strap, useful hard case for transport, batteries with a 3 to 4 hour autonomy and a charger to charge the batteries from your vehicle or from mains etc.
COMPLETE AND SIMPLE NAVIGATION
In order to explain the simplicity of the meters’ operation, we describe below how to navigate in TV and SAT bands.
NAVIGATION IN TV BAND
(including channel PLANS from all over the world). These meters can operate in three ways: a) NAVIGATION IN THE CHOSEN COUNTRY PLAN.
By navigating manually in the country’s channel PLAN (for example, channels 21-22-23, etc.), the meter instantly recognises the type of signal (analog or digital) and immediately supplies all the various measurements (level, MER, SNR, BER, NOISE MARGIN, QUALITY) and spectrum analysis. It also supplies the network name, the bouquet name, the encryption system and, last but not least, the names of all the programs, services and audio and video PID’s, contained in the bouquets, even if they are
2
encrypted. An interesting feature is the possibility of navigating in spectrum, using channels, and automatically obtain the level measurement and position the “marker” on the video carrier. In the same way power measurements are supplied for digital channels and the “marker” is positioned in the center of the channel.
The DISCOVERY is the only meter that automatically sets the REF LEVEL (level scale) on the spectrum.
b) NAVIGATION IN THE CUSTOMER PLANS, stored manually using the
meter, or preloaded using a PC, via the USB port.
c) AUTOSCAN (complete automatic auto-memorization function). Basically
when connecting an antenna to the meter and after
setting the minimum threshold at the required
level, the meter automatically recognises,
identifies and stores the various programs
received in this location, generating
an “AUTO” memory plan, which
can be selected from N.1 to N.99,
for each installation or for each town.
NAVIGATION IN SAT BAND
(including the data of the main satellites in Europe/Asia/America and
all their relative transponders).
a) NAVIGATION IN THE CHOSEN SATELLITE TRANSPONDERS (for
example ASTRA 19°, already pre-stored on board).
the power measurement for digital transponders, already correlated to the relative Symbol Rate value (without having to position the band marker), this, thanks to the quantity of pre-stored data in the meter and excellent calculation power. It is also the only meter that can automatically set the REF LEVEL (level scale) of the spectrum.
NOISE MARGIN QUALITY MEASUREMENT (unknown):
this is another exclusive ROVER measurement.
Pointing the antenna and/or satellite dish to the maximum level does not always mean the maximum signal quality. In fact, in the case of interferences with the analog TV signal, it is possible to carry out pointing for the best and clean picture and not always for the maximum level. With digital signals you should get used to measuring the NOISE MARGIN and increase it to the maximum value possible (minimum 2 dB for SAT and 6 dB for digital terrestrial) to guarantee a good and stable reception in time.
satellite name and relative orbital position have been
selected, you can navigate directly using the
number of transponders and/or relative
frequency. The transponders are listed in
increasing frequency values and have all
the LNB parameters pre-stored: L.O. and
band, DiSEqC and the new “SCR” LNB’s
for 4 or 8 users (Single Cable Routers),
as well as multi-switches with 4­8-12 or 18 cables.
b) NAVIGATION IN THE MEMORY PLAN (for example PLAN 46, stored
manually by the user or using a PC). This allows you to navigate in the various programs from 1 to 199 according to the sequence and settings stored by the user.
In both cases the meters automatically
supply all the power measurements for
digital transponders, and the level for
analog ones, as well as supplying MER,
EVM, BER, NOISE MARGIN, QUALITY
measurements and the network name,
bouquet, the orbital position and encryption
system. Last but not least, the meters supply the names of all the programs (services) and Audio and Video PID’s contained in the bouquet, even if they are encrypted.
Another important feature: it is possible to navigate in spectrum mode, with transponders, memory programs or frequencies.
The meter automatically supplies the level measurement for analog transponders and

QAM EMULATED MEASUREMENT
This measurement, developped by ROVER, allows you to measure the digital signal quality using a series of analog measurements. The quality measurement is based on the C/N and FLATNESS and is similar to demodulated. The C2 model has
a complete QAM demodulator, with constellation.
CONSTELLATION DIAGRAM and
RELATED CHANNEL DATA and STATUS
Visualisation of the constellation and modulation parameters. It is possible to zoom and navigate in the channels. The following parameters are shown: plan, channel, zoom type, constellation, mode, no. of carriers, DVB–T or H, guard interval, hierarchy and priority, bouquet name, encryption system, etc.

AUTO SEARCH and MEMORIZATION
This function automatically recognises both analog and digital TV channels and stores them in a plan. The scanning progress is shown during the search: the scanned channel, the channels found with digital modulation, the channels found with analog modulation. The AUTO plan automatically created can be easy used to carry out all the measurements.
SATELLITE FINDER (1st screen)
This automatic function allows you to manually program up to 3 particular transponders on a specific satellite and, then, to find and identify the satellite required by simply moving he satellite dish in the direction of the satellite. Once the programmed satellite has been found it automatically goes to the 2nd screen for fine pointing (see below).
SATELLITE FINDER (2nd screen)
Once the programmed satellite has been found (see above) the instrument automatically goes to this screen for fine pointing and relative adjustment of the polarization plan (SKEW). In the lower part of the display you can also see the Network name and the orbital position of the satellite. The BUZZER, which inserts automatically, allows you to align the dish without looking at the display.
PLAN/SAT SELECTION MENU
The instrument allows you to select all the satellites and transponders worldwide (up to 99 satellites, 60000 transponders) and relative parameters, as shown in
