The monitoring cassette PSCU6000,inthefollowingcalledcassette,isusedto
provide the output levels and the output data of the head-end stations monitored
via an info channel in the cable network. The info channel is programmable in
therangeofC21…C69.
The following parameters are controlled:
 – AnalogTVchannels:HFlevelandsynchronizationpulse.
 – DigitalTVchannels: HFlevel,BER(BitErrorRate).

atechannelnames(identifiedfromtheRDSresp.VPSdata),thebiterrorrate
(BER) and the output level of the respective channels. In addition the signals
fed via the audio and video sockets can be transmitted via the info channel or
the data of the info channel can be provided as audio and video signals.

configuration is to be done with the help of a PC and the PSW 1000 software.
For this observe the operation instruction of the PSW1000software,tobe
downloaded from our home page "www.gss.de".
To operate this cassette the software version of the control unit must be "V 44"
or higher. You can find the current operating software for the control unit and
thecassette,thesoftware"BE-Flash" and the current assembly instructions on
the website "www.gss.de".
The cassette is intended for use in the PROFI-LINE head-end stations.
