The tool SPQA (Subjective Picture Quality Assessment simulates the influence of the parameters
CNR and CSO/CTB to an analogue transmitted test picture.
The demo version SPAC_DEM.EXE allows calculating CNR, but not CSO, CTB, BER and MER.
In addition, it is not possible to load, save and print networks.
SPAC uses modules of BKtel, which are grouped together in libraries. Predefined lists for different
channel allocations and services (PAL B/G, NTSC, Cenelec 42, ) are part of the delivery.
In the following you see an example of a SPAC calculation run.

This is the result of the simulation. The calculation of CSO und CTB is suppressed in the demo
version.
To try out:
Open the second optical line (OptLoss #5) und change the splitter ration from 1:1 auf 1:2, 1:3 etc.
Watch how the CNR gets worse.
You may also select other transmitters, other amplifiers and so on.

For calculating the digital parameters BER and MER, you have to select a digital service. To do
this, open menue Channels->Read Channel list and choose europe.lst. Select the service
with Channels->Service->64 QAM and press Calculate!.
Please notice that the display of BER and MER is suppressed in demo version.
