DSAM V3.6 firmware is now available online. DSAM V3.6 firmware on all DSAM models is now available on www.jdsu.com.

DSAM V3.6 Announcement JDSU has released the DSAM V3.6 firmware for the DSAM family of test meters. DSAM V3.6 is available online as an upgrade for previous firmware versions.

V3.6 Firmware Enhancements DSAM V3.6 can be upgraded on existing meters. When existing units are upgraded to the V3.6 firmware, some new features will become available to the meter based upon the meter type along with additional enhancements from the previous version.

V3.6 Features and Enhancements: 1. SmartScan™ - Another JDSU innovation that will help both Service Technicians and Maintenance Techs. It provides the ability to see the network frequency response in an easy-to-read view. It helps network technicians diagnose plant issues fast. It also provides the ability to apply consistent limits throughout the network regardless of location.

SmartScan measurements are also incorporated into the Home Certification™ test. This will help streamline the “refer to maintenance” process established by our customers. Home Certification has been widely deployed by many of our customers, and been helping them reduce repeat truck rolls and improve subscriber satisfaction.

2. In-Band C/N - provides the ability to perform C/N measurement in band. It is useful if there is no guard band between channels. The specification for both the existing Out-of-Band C/N measurement and new InBand C/N measurement is the same. In-Band C/N requires a hardware upgrade to the DSAM. 3. ISDB-T Support (Japan only) - provides measurement supports for the ISDB-T standard for Japan. The DSAM now support both QAM and ISDB-T measurements with one meter, greatly reducing the need to carry two instruments. 4. Better Screen Visibility – Enhancements to key measurement screens so technicians can see displays clearly under direct sunlight.
