Predefined channel tables for numerous countries are already included and can be modified as required at any time. The R&S FSH3-TV provides a wide range of specific CATV measurements, including the display of constellation diagrams for digital TV signals.

The R&S FSH3-TV is operated using intuitive menus and soft keys. A rotary knob ensures fast and easy variation of input values or selection of menu items.
