Level measurement of digital signals
By calling up the spectrum analysis from the digital TV or Sat menu, the digital level on the white marker is measured and displayed on the screen in the lower line. The digital measured value is indicated with a D located in front. For the establishment of digital levels, the MSK 33 calculates a correction value, which is represented by a thin line under the white marker. This value is influenced by the respective set spectrum measurement bandwidth (see below) and symbol rate. Therefore, observe the correct setting of the symbol rate in the TV and Sat menu! For DVB-T, the appropriate channel bandwidth (6, 7 or 8 MHz) is set in the TV menu.

Connection assignment of the zero modem cable for the remote control of the MSK 33 via a PC. If the MSK 33 is directly connected with the PC, it is represented in the upper display field in the modem menu, if the zero modem cable is properly connected. All three displays (DSR, DCD and CTS) must show the message ON. Many zero modem cables have no connection with the DCD connection of the RS 232 connector. If so, the display OFF appears near the DCD. In this case, a bridge from DSR to DCD must be provided in the connector of the zero modem cable (refer to illustration) or the handshake operating must be switched off.

Modem/RS232 menu

The RS232 interface of the MSK 33 can be configured in the most important points in this menu. Return to the SETTING menu.

Setting baud rate

Setting local echo

The field lights up yellow, as soon as the softkey is pressed. Afterwards, the interface speed from 2400 to 115200 baud (each 8 bits / no parity /no stop bit) can be set with the aid of the cursor buttons, < and >. This setting is only based on the interface communication between the modem and the MSK 33 and has no influence on the transmission characteristic data of the modem. Normally, all characters received by the modem are sent back by the MSK 33. This means, that a character entered in on the terminal (PC keyboard) is not immediately displayed on the screen, but rather sent via the near modem (on the PC) to the farther modem (on the MSK 33). Here, the character is analysed and sent back (echo function). If the local echo on the terminal is activated, the character appears twice and one of the both echoes must be terminated.

echo off

Setting hardware handshake

r/cts off

By pressing the button, R/CTS, the hardware-handshake can be activated or deactivated. If the handshake operation is deactivated, it is not possible for the MSK 33 to recognise, when a connected PC or modem has taken over the operation. In this case, the MSK 33 first answer after entry of a RETURN on the terminal programme. If the handshake is activated, this occurs automatically, as soon as the terminal programme has been called up or the modem has been successfully called. If the MSK 33 is switched off during this procedure, it will switch on by itself or switch off after exiting the terminal programme or loss of the carrier on the modem.

Init (Initialisation string) for the MSK 33 modem

init < >

Here, the currently valid initialisation string for the MSK 33 modem can be read. With the aid of the initialisation string, a connection to the MSK 33 modem is established after switching on the MSK 33. With this, a change of the basic setting in the modem is carried out, for example the setting of a common baud rate. A change of the initialisation string can occur after pressing the INIT button. Hereby, it is possible to select the character with the cursor buttons, or to select the position which is to be edited. The character string is sent to the first space after deactivating the INIT button.
After pressing this button, the MSK 33 is reset to the factory setting.

Code (Password)

Here, the currently valid password can be read, which must be known by the used for the remote request or control of the MSK 33. The password can only be changed in active modem operation. PIN1 is the master PIN and opens all functions of the MSK 33 (including download of the unit software). Just in case, you should not register yourself under this PIN, in order to avoid overwriting the programme software (other safeties are built in). PIN2 opens all function of the MSK 33 with the exception of locking the programme memory and the new programming of programme memory. The important settings on the MSK 33 can be remotely controlled with this. PIN3 allows one to only receive measurement values form the MSK 33. The changing of important settings is not possible after login in under this PIN. Note: For changing a PIN (only possible via RS232), the PIN is always taken over, under which you have loggedin with.
Operating of the MSK 33 via modem
The MSK 33 can be remotely controlled in two terminal modes. It is distinguished between the TTY mode and the ANSI mode.

The TTY mode

The TTY mode is line-orientated and complies for the most part with the usual operation via a serial interface or a modem. This means, the command abbreviations are entered in via the keyboard, interpreted by the MSK 33 and the command is appropriately executed. MSK 33 confirms the execution of the commands with text information- After each command, the screen is scrolled up line-by-line. This method is used in general for the automation of measurement tasks. A written measurement programme from the user cyclically calls up certain commands of the MSK 33 and analyses measurement values sent by the MSK 33.

In the MSK 33, two different DiSEqC types have integrated. DiSEqC 1.0: With this system, DiSEqC commands can be sent but not received. DiSEqC 2.0: With this system, DiSEqC commands can be sent and received (highlighted in grey in the table). Bold commands are preferably used for Kathrein switching matrices.
Command overview data byte

General notes:

Observe the bold lines. The non-bold notes can only help you solve a problem in cases of error. <RET> means to trigger the command with RETURN on the terminal programme. 1. Copy the file MSK33.BXX (XX stands for the version number) from the diskette into an easily found directory of your hard disk. 2. Connect the MSK33 with the PC via a zero modem cable (see respective section). Set the baud rate to 19200 baud in the MODEM menu (SETTING / MODEM). Note down the PIN (If no entry is available, PIN1 is <RET>). If problems occur when using a 9-pin serial interface, the hardware handshake (r/cst) can be set to OF in the MODEM menu. 3. Switch off the MSK33, and press down any number key on the MSK 33. Start a terminal programme (we recommend Term95 in DOS mode) on the PC => MSK33 switches on. For switched of hardware handshake, the MSK 33 must be switched on by hand. Note: When using the terminal programme, Hyperterminal, under Windows95, we recommend to use the fonts TERMINAL STANDARD 14 and OEM/DOS. Set emulation to automatic recognition or ANSI. 4. the MSK 33 answers now with the bootloader MSKUL>. Enter in PIN1 and confirm the entry with <RET> (Standard PIN1 is-MSK-33-). For switched off handshake, the MSK 33 first answers after entry of <RET>. If the MSK 33 answer with MSK 33> instead of MSKUL>, it must have been changed in the upload operating with the command, UPL<RET>. Note: With the command, LAN<RET>, you can change the language. 5. With the command UNL<RET>, the FLASH is released for programming. Afterwards switch the MSK 33 to reception with the command, BIN<RET>. If the message is given from the MSK 33, that the access is refused, you may have tried to log-in with PIN2 or PIN3. In this case, start over with step 1. 6. Now, start the upload of the file MSK33.BIN on the terminal programme. This occurs in the XMODEM mode (at 19200 baud ca. 3 minutes). ATTENTION: Of the upload is not started within a certain period of time, the MSK 33 locks up. In this case, you must start new from step 5 (command UNL, BIN). 7. After the upload, the uninterrupted transmission is confirmed by the MSK 33. In the RAW-mode, the message is given after the successful download, that 232144 characters were downloaded. 8. Ext the terminal programme, switch off the MSK 33, switch on the MSK 33 on again without terminal programme and set fact.setup in the menu, SETTING / SYSTEM.
