DYNAMIC RF NOISE TEST

• This test is provided as a troubleshooting tool for “finding” noise sources.

• Use this test for intermittent RF noise (tweed, herringbone, etc.).
• This test allows you to see the reconstruction in quasi-real-time…. so you may
interactively wiggle connections, tap on light fixtures and other components, turn the GC
to standby, disconnect the transmitter input signal while observing the effect on the
scans, and any number of other tests for isolating noise sources.
• You can also use manual scan to set the RF gain and receiver gain to the desired
setting.
• NOTE: Turn the transmitter power to zero with manual scan when imaging greater than
+/- 200 KHz from Center Frequency.
• Specify on SNR Sheet (table #1) if you see any artifacts, tweed, etc.
