- Tilt measurement feature provides for simplified system balancing
- Carrier-to-noise and hum testing provides system performance testing
- Large easy-to-read graphic LCD display provides quick-glance signal reference
- AC/DC voltage compatibility allows RF and AC/DC measurements without changing
test equipment
- Automatic power shut-off feature extends time between recharges
- Bright orange high impact plastic housing and soft leatherette-vinyl protective case
with belt clip included
Pico Macom's PICO-PRO is a full-featured handheld signal performance meter providing
a complete signal test system in easy-to-carry protective case. The PICO-PRO
allows choice of 4 pre-programmed user-selectable band plans accessed via keypad
entry for easy measurement of broadcast, CATV, CATV/HRC, and SUB/VHF channels.
Direct-entry channel or frequency tuning selections provide maximum flexibility in
headends and distribution networks that employ narrow digital signals, or non-standard
frequency applications. The meter displays instantaneous digital signal levels when
testing digital carrier levels. The large LCD screen displays signal level as a bar-graph
with digital numeric readout. This backlit display provides screen illumination in dimly lit
work-spaces, allowing behind rack and night meter operation. The PICO-PRO enables
testing of carrier-to-noise, multiple channels, and full, reduced, and single band scan
for complete testing flexibility. The meter?s functions include not only signal measurement
when AC/DC voltage is present under test, but, when selected, voltage-level display.
