Cable Modem Detail results screen provides upstream and downstream signal performance data. Links allow more detailed analysis of the cable modem connection, upstream, downstream, data network and VoIP service performance.

The SLM (signal level meter) automatically switches between analog and digital to display both numeric and graphic measurement results. Tune to any upstream or downstream channel, up to 1 GHz.

Scan and Mini-Scan allow detailed analysis of the signal levels on the downstream network. Links are provided to summary and detailed test results, including min, max levels, tilt & peak-to-valley.

Throughput testing may be performed via RF cable modem or Ethernet -- at up to 30 Mb/s to verify and analyze even the highest tiers of HSD services.
