2 Product Description
The smartmeter S20 is a handy digital DVB-S2 measuring device for a quick and easy alignment of satellite antennas. If a satellite is found, the smartmeter S20 shows it on the display
and emits an audible signal. Signal strength and quality are displayed as numerical values
and bar graphs.

Product Description
Another measurement value is the forward error correction (FEC0F1), the carrier-to-noise ratio
(C/N), the bit error rate after Viterbi (VBER), and the Modulation error rate (MER

). In addition,
the picture quality can be revised on the high-resolution 3.5-inch TFTLCD screen.
Many satellites are pre-programmed in order to allow a quick antenna adjustment.
There is a protective pouch for transport and as a protection.

FEC = Forward Error Correction: In each data packet there are control bits. FEC 5/6 means, that there
are 5 data bits and 1 control bit. The better the ration between data and control bits, the less errors are at
the receiver's side. With FEC 3/4 the ratio is better than with FEC 5/6. Possible values are FEC 1/2, 2/3,
3/4, 5/6, 7/8 und 8/9.
2
Modulation error rate = all signal disturbances are summarized to one measurement value. The higher
the MER value, the better is the signal quality.
