Overview

The TAS3000 is the most versatile and comprehensive measuring system for adjusting and testing TV and Satellite tuners. All the hardware and software functions required are built-in. It is easy to use and operate. The settings are edited with well-organized and user-friendly graphical interface menus. Settings are saved into configuration file and be recalled when production model changes.

User can create many adjustment and testing steps. During each adjustment step, the IF and VSWR response curves from 3 channels are displayed simultaneously with measured values and judgements. Failures are shown in red colour getting the worker’s attention.

An automatic testing step after adjustment can ensure the tuner is of highest quality. It takes 10 seconds to test 25 channels.

The TAS3000 supports a wide range of tuner designs. Our engineers are ready to provide support when new tuners and tuner technologies are introduced. The TAS3000 can be integrated easily into production line as all the power and control lines are provided.

Data can be collected during adjustment and testing steps. The data is presented in easy-to-read distribution charts and printouts. They are useful for monitoring quality, training new staff and evaluating new tuner models.
