The FEC for a potential signpost may be individually entered. After entering the FEC, the
new FEC along with the current frequency and symbol rate will be programmed into the
DVB receiver.
LK: ----, lock, LOCK
This field indicates the current lock status from the DVB receiver. “----“ indicates that the
DVB receiver currently has not established a lock on the programmed parameters. “lock”
indicates that the DVB receiver has initial lock on the data stream. “LOCK” indicates that it
has established a better lock indicating that it is able to estimate a bit error rate from the data
stream.
ID:
This field indicates the current text that the DVB receiver has pulled off of a data stream.
Prior to establishing a lock, the string “RCIx” will appear indicating that the DVB receiver is
trying to lock on the parameters defined by signpost # x. If any of the parameters have been
individually programmed the string will be “RCI;”.
When a lock is initially established, text such as “MPEG-2” may appear. This indicates that
the DVB receiver recognizes a data stream but has not pulled the orbital data information
from the stream.
A few seconds after lock is established, a string indicating orbital slot data should appear.
For example, “119W” will be extracted from data stream coming off of the EchoStar satellite
located at 119.0 West longitude.
NOTE: not all uplinkers will faithfully multiplex the orbital slot information into the data
stream. One of the main reasons this maintenance screen exists is to monitor if the orbital
slot information is being sent from a potential signpost.
