The RM5800 Signal Analysis System is a rack mount system for the automatic measurement of
terestral digital 8VSB and analog NTSC television signals. When operated in conjunction with a usersupplied
Windows™ PC, the RM5800 provides all of the features of the portable DSS5800 DriveTest
system, and offers the installation advantage of a permanent configuration.

When installed in a fixed location, the RM5800 and its attached PC can monitor several television
station signals on a continuing basis, providing a historic record of performance of critical RF
parameters. Commercially available remote PC access software can be used to control and report
the system when installed at a remote location.

The rack mounting configuration is also convenient for unobtrusive installation, for example in a
television newsgathering truck, where the RM5800, and a dedicated laptop PC, can continuously
gather data as the vehicle moves about the coverage area. Z Technology DriveTest software
and GPS location capabilities are included with the RM5800

The RM5800 integrates the functions of a precision swept spectrum field strength meter, an 8VSB,
ATSC compliant DTV decoder, and a GPS location system, along with Z Technogy software
applications to run on a user-supplied Windows™ PC.

Like the portable system, the rack mounting RM5800 and PC running Z Technology DriveTest
software precisely measures and records a comprehensive set of RF and 8VSB decoded
parameters. For the 8VSB digital signal, these parameters include Integrated 6 MHz Power, Tilt,
Notches, 8VSB Tap Values, Signal to Noise Ratio, Segment Error Rate, Sync Lock and Equalizer
Lock Status, and other important parameters.
