The Holland Dark Meter and companion transmitter make it possible to sweep
RF distribution systems before CATV / satellite signals are present.
This
pre-signal testing verifies connections, frequency capability of passives and
cables, as well as short circuit notification (ie staple through the cable). The measured signal levels for up to 50 separate stations can be stored in memory.
A built-in RS-232 port allows the user to
download this data from the meter to a remote device at the push of a single
button. The Holland Dark Meter is also capable of measuring cable length
using the TDR function. The cable ID function can be used to identify up to
20 locations by using PFT terminators.
