GENERAL METHOD OF OPERATION The Kathrein MSK 120, MSK 120/CO is a compact portable digital meter for Sat-IF reception systems. On the 5.7" TFT screen, which is clearly visible in daylight, it is possible to display pictures from both SD (MPEG2) and HD (MPEG-4) channels. The integral CI interface enables even encrypted channels to be viewed 1). All menus and measuring results are also shown on the display. The device has been rigorously designed for use outdoors. A sturdy metal housing, operation via a sealed membrane keypad, the use of a high quality lithium-polymer rechargeable battery and a robust protective case make the MSK 120, MSK 120/CO suitable for everyday use. Appropriate menu structures, data saving capabilities for several satellites and many channels make operation extremely easy. Due to the use of a high quality spectrum analyser, the integration of DiSEqCTM (incl. single-cable system commands) and numerous measuring features such as level, BER, MER etc., the unit offers everything you could ask for in daily use, both during the installation of Sat reception systems as well as during troubleshooting. 1)
In addition, an appropriate CA module and a smart card are necessary for decryption (not supplied).

MEASURING FUNCTION: TP SCAN MODE Function: In order to meter a satellite transponder in “TP Scan” mode, access the
menu
and set the desired Sat level and frequency modulation. These inputs are then saved for the respective SAT level. There are four different LNB controller operating modes for the 1st softkey menu. The respective submenus are different depending on the function selected for the 1st softkey. LNB-DC (analogous to DC voltage control) The 2nd softkey is used to set the control voltage for the polarisation change-over. The 3rd softkey is used as required to connect the 22 kHz switching signal (to select high band as required). Please use the 4th softkey to set the desired modulation oscillator. For universal LNBs the settings used are usually 9,750 MHz for low band and 10,600 MHz for high band. The preset oscillator frequencies can be overwritten as required in the “LO-Freq” menu, using the number keys. After the
has been pressed, the desired Sat
level is now set. To show the user what settings have been transmitted, the input is highlighted in green.
DiSEqCTM (control signal based on 22 kHz) The 2nd softkey is used to select a Sat level for satellite 1 or 2 from a previously saved satellite list. The 3rd softkey is used to select a Sat level for satellite 3 or 4 from a previously saved satellite list. Please now use the 4th softkey to set the correct modulation oscillator for each. The associated DiSEqCTM command is now displayed in the 5th column (command ...). Pressing the
button sends the respective DiSEqCTM command to the Sat system, and thereby
switches on the desired Sat level. To show the user what settings have been transmitted, the input is highlighted in green.
The associated DiSEqCTM command is displayed here.
33
MEASURING FUNCTION: TP SCAN MODE SCR (also SCIF or single cable systems) The 2nd softkey is used to select the system type. Type 1 offers a range of four output or transmission frequencies. Type 2 offers a range of eight output or transmission frequencies. There are also further detail differences between the types which are however not relevant to operation of the system. The 3rd softkey is now used to select the system output frequency to be measured. The 4th softkey is used to select between two satellite positions the vertical and horizontal Sat polarisation for each. The selected individual output carrier (UB = user band) can also be switched off here. The 5th softkey gives access to the column in which the desired satellite transponder frequency can be input, and underneath it also the appropriate modulation oscillator. There are also explanatory tables under “Overview of the most important DiSEqCTM commands”. Pressing the
button now sends the respective DiSEqCTM command to the Sat system, and
thereby implements the desired appropriate transponder frequency. To show the user what settings have been transmitted, the input is highlighted in green. SCR in User mode (by type, in the 2nd column) The 2nd softkey is used to set the user mode (your own SCR frequencies). The 3rd softkey is now used to select the appropriate output frequency of the system, previously set individually. These user SCR frequencies are required in the measurement mode (TP scan). They are input here in the column of the 3rd softkey and are saved when the satellite meter is switched off. The 4th softkey is used to select between two satellite positions the vertical and horizontal Sat polarisation for each. The selected individual output carrier (UB = user band) can also be switched off here. The 5th softkey gives access to the column in which the desired satellite transponder frequency can be input, and underneath it also the appropriate modulation oscillator. There are also explanatory tables under “Overview of the most important DiSEqCTM commands”. Pressing the
button now sends the respective DiSEqCTM command to the Sat system, and
thereby implements the desired appropriate transponder frequency. To show the user what settings have been transmitted, the input is highlighted in green.
“Test SCIF” switches on all the SCR carriers (output frequencies) to the single-cable system. Pressing “All Off” briefly interrupts the DC power supply to the single-cable system, thereby resetting these SCR carriers again. However many SCR matrices have their own power supply, so to reset the SCR carriers by briefly interrupting their power supply it is necessary to withdraw the mains plug and reinsert it.
34
MEASURING FUNCTION: TP SCAN MODE User the input of an individual DiSEqCTM command (in “Mode”, first column) After the 2nd softkey has been pressed, the frame byte can be input via the keyboard. After the 3rd softkey has been pressed, the address byte can be input. After the 4th softkey has been pressed, the command byte can be input. After the 5th softkey has been pressed, the data byte can be input. Pressing the
button now sends the respective DiSEqCTM command to the Sat system, and
thereby implements the desired appropriate transponder frequency. To show the user what settings have been transmitted, the input is highlighted in green. As an example: E0 10 5A 2D 35 corresponds here to a single-cable system of type 2 Here Sat position 1 (Astra 19 degrees) is now modulated to the transponder 11,836 MHz (ARD) with the high band oscillator 10,600 MHz at the SCR output frequency 1,400 MHz. There are also explanatory tables under “Overview of the most important DiSEqCTM commands”. In general: A precise transponder frequency display cannot be achieved using this “USER-DiSEqCTM” menu, since no modulation oscillator can be assigned. Therefore the “SAT-IF” frequency is displayed here.

TECHNICAL APPENDIX CALCULATION OF THE SAT-IF FREQUENCY This is done as follows: IF = reception frequency - oscillator frequency The oscillation frequency is made up as follows: 9,750 MHz oscillator frequency is used for a reception frequency between 10,700 MHz and 11,700 MHz. 10,600 MHz is used for a reception frequency between 11,700 MHz and 12,750 MHz. Hence the values for ARD - Das Erste are: IF = reception frequency - oscillator frequency IF = 11,836 MHz - 10,600 MHz IF = 1,236 MHz In measuring mode (TP-SCAN, SPECTRUM, CONSTELLATION) you can input both the Sat-IF frequency (1,236 MHz) and also the transponder frequency (11,836 MHz). For this you must then input the appropriate LO frequency (10,600 MHz) in the LNB-CNTRL menu.

SERVICE SOFTWARE UPDATE You can always find the latest service-related information and help regarding the MSK 120, MSK 120/CO satellite meter at the Website “http://www.kathrein.de/de/service/index.htm”. This includes the current operating manual and current frequency lists, the update software with the update instructions and any drivers that are required. The basic settings and the channel lists for the satellite meter in the as delivered can be found on the USB stick supplied. This means that if any of the settings of the satellite meter are inadvertently deleted, they can easily be restored. Preparation for an update, back up your personal Setup settings: Before updating your MSK 120, MSK 120/CO with new software it is advisable to back up your personal settings (Settings) and channel lists (Channellist) made using the Setup menu. These are saved on to the USB stick into the “Update” directory: (see “Setup”, “Service menu”, “Save”, “Settings” (also the “Channellist”): see under... • “Saving channel tables and settings on to a USB memory stick”. After this the software update can be performed without the loss of your previous settings. The detailed description can be found under the heading: • “Performing a software update”. After performing the update, restore the saved settings, see under • “Setup”, “Service menu”, “Update”, “Settings” (also the “Channellist”): see under ... • “Importing the basic settings saved on the USB stick”. Factory settings If you wish to restore the factory settings, proceed as follows to load the settings (default.set) and the sat list (default.lst) supplied on the USB stick. See under “Update channel lists” and “Update settings”.
57
SERVICE Performing a software update: Plug the USB stick into your PC and create a directory “Update” on it if this was not already created by the factory. The update software downloaded from the service page must be saved on to the USB stick into the directory “Update”. This must always contain only the actual file to be loaded (xxxx1.img or xxxx1.bin or xxxx1.lst or xxxx1.set). Then plug the USB stick into the satellite meter when it is switched off. Updating the basic software of the satellite meter The satellite meter must not be switched off whilst the update is in progress, nor must the USB stick be unplugged. If an update operation fails, normally the update operation should be repeated. • The update operation for the basic software (the application) of the satellite meter is started by pressing and holding down the
button and pressing the
button.
Now the message “USB memory device mounted” may be displayed briefly - the update will start automatically. During the update a “Software Update” window will be displayed, with a progress bar. At the end of the process the satellite meter is restarted by an automatic reset. Upgrading to constellation analysis A MSK 120 can be extended to a MSK 120/CO by means of a chargeable upgrade; this enables the constellation analysis option. This upgrade can be obtained from the Internet at “http://www.kathrein.de” on the page for the MSK 120, under the model number MZS 120. Please follow the detailed instructions shown there for the upgrade process.
