Frontend statistics indicators
|
|
******************************
|
|
|
|
The values are returned via ``dtv_property.stat``. If the property is
|
|
supported, ``dtv_property.stat.len`` is bigger than zero.
|
|
|
|
For most delivery systems, ``dtv_property.stat.len`` will be 1 if the
|
|
stats is supported, and the properties will return a single value for
|
|
each parameter.
|
|
|
|
It should be noted, however, that new OFDM delivery systems like ISDB
|
|
can use different modulation types for each group of carriers. On such
|
|
standards, up to 3 groups of statistics can be provided, and
|
|
``dtv_property.stat.len`` is updated to reflect the "global" metrics,
|
|
plus one metric per each carrier group (called "layer" on ISDB).
|
|
|
|
So, in order to be consistent with other delivery systems, the first
|
|
value at :c:type:`dtv_property.stat.dtv_stats <dtv_stats>` array refers
|
|
to the global metric. The other elements of the array represent each
|
|
layer, starting from layer A(index 1), layer B (index 2) and so on.
|
|
|
|
The number of filled elements are stored at ``dtv_property.stat.len``.
|
|
|
|
Each element of the ``dtv_property.stat.dtv_stats`` array consists on
|
|
two elements:
|
|
|
|
- ``svalue`` or ``uvalue``, where ``svalue`` is for signed values of
|
|
the measure (dB measures) and ``uvalue`` is for unsigned values
|
|
(counters, relative scale)
|
|
|
|
- ``scale`` - Scale for the value. It can be:
|
|
|
|
- ``FE_SCALE_NOT_AVAILABLE`` - The parameter is supported by the
|
|
frontend, but it was not possible to collect it (could be a
|
|
transitory or permanent condition)
|
|
|
|
- ``FE_SCALE_DECIBEL`` - parameter is a signed value, measured in
|
|
1/1000 dB
|
|
|
|
- ``FE_SCALE_RELATIVE`` - parameter is a unsigned value, where 0
|
|
means 0% and 65535 means 100%.
|
|
|
|
- ``FE_SCALE_COUNTER`` - parameter is a unsigned value that counts
|
|
the occurrence of an event, like bit error, block error, or lapsed
|
|
time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _DTV-STAT-SIGNAL-STRENGTH:
|
|
|
|
DTV_STAT_SIGNAL_STRENGTH
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Indicates the signal strength level at the analog part of the tuner or
|
|
of the demod.
|
|
|
|
Possible scales for this metric are:
|
|
|
|
- ``FE_SCALE_NOT_AVAILABLE`` - it failed to measure it, or the
|
|
measurement was not complete yet.
|
|
|
|
- ``FE_SCALE_DECIBEL`` - signal strength is in 0.001 dBm units, power
|
|
measured in miliwatts. This value is generally negative.
|
|
|
|
- ``FE_SCALE_RELATIVE`` - The frontend provides a 0% to 100%
|
|
measurement for power (actually, 0 to 65535).
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _DTV-STAT-CNR:
|
|
|
|
DTV_STAT_CNR
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Indicates the Signal to Noise ratio for the main carrier.
|
|
|
|
Possible scales for this metric are:
|
|
|
|
- ``FE_SCALE_NOT_AVAILABLE`` - it failed to measure it, or the
|
|
measurement was not complete yet.
|
|
|
|
- ``FE_SCALE_DECIBEL`` - Signal/Noise ratio is in 0.001 dB units.
|
|
|
|
- ``FE_SCALE_RELATIVE`` - The frontend provides a 0% to 100%
|
|
measurement for Signal/Noise (actually, 0 to 65535).
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _DTV-STAT-PRE-ERROR-BIT-COUNT:
|
|
|
|
DTV_STAT_PRE_ERROR_BIT_COUNT
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
Measures the number of bit errors before the forward error correction
|
|
(FEC) on the inner coding block (before Viterbi, LDPC or other inner
|
|
code).
|
|
|
|
This measure is taken during the same interval as
|
|
``DTV_STAT_PRE_TOTAL_BIT_COUNT``.
|
|
|
|
In order to get the BER (Bit Error Rate) measurement, it should be
|
|
divided by
|
|
:ref:`DTV_STAT_PRE_TOTAL_BIT_COUNT <DTV-STAT-PRE-TOTAL-BIT-COUNT>`.
|
|
|
|
This measurement is monotonically increased, as the frontend gets more
|
|
bit count measurements. The frontend may reset it when a
|
|
channel/transponder is tuned.
|
|
|
|
Possible scales for this metric are:
|
|
|
|
- ``FE_SCALE_NOT_AVAILABLE`` - it failed to measure it, or the
|
|
measurement was not complete yet.
|
|
|
|
- ``FE_SCALE_COUNTER`` - Number of error bits counted before the inner
|
|
coding.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _DTV-STAT-PRE-TOTAL-BIT-COUNT:
|
|
|
|
DTV_STAT_PRE_TOTAL_BIT_COUNT
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
Measures the amount of bits received before the inner code block, during
|
|
the same period as
|
|
:ref:`DTV_STAT_PRE_ERROR_BIT_COUNT <DTV-STAT-PRE-ERROR-BIT-COUNT>`
|
|
measurement was taken.
|
|
|
|
It should be noted that this measurement can be smaller than the total
|
|
amount of bits on the transport stream, as the frontend may need to
|
|
manually restart the measurement, losing some data between each
|
|
measurement interval.
|
|
|
|
This measurement is monotonically increased, as the frontend gets more
|
|
bit count measurements. The frontend may reset it when a
|
|
channel/transponder is tuned.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
- ``FE_SCALE_NOT_AVAILABLE`` - it failed to measure it, or the
|

measurement was not complete yet.
|
|
|
|
- ``FE_SCALE_COUNTER`` - Number of bits counted while measuring
|
|
:ref:`DTV_STAT_PRE_ERROR_BIT_COUNT <DTV-STAT-PRE-ERROR-BIT-COUNT>`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _DTV-STAT-POST-ERROR-BIT-COUNT:
|
|
|
|
DTV_STAT_POST_ERROR_BIT_COUNT
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
Measures the number of bit errors after the forward error correction
|
|
(FEC) done by inner code block (after Viterbi, LDPC or other inner
|
|
code).
|
|
|
|
This measure is taken during the same interval as
|
|
``DTV_STAT_POST_TOTAL_BIT_COUNT``.
|
|
|

In order to get the BER (Bit Error Rate) measurement, it should be
|
|
divided by

|
|
|
|
This measurement is monotonically increased, as the frontend gets more
|
|
bit count measurements. The frontend may reset it when a

|
channel/transponder is tuned.
|
|
|

|
|
coding.

|
|
|
|
.. _DTV-STAT-ERROR-BLOCK-COUNT:
|
|
|
|
DTV_STAT_ERROR_BLOCK_COUNT
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Measures the number of block errors after the outer forward error
|
|
correction coding (after Reed-Solomon or other outer code).
|
|
|
|

|
- ``FE_SCALE_COUNTER`` - Number of error blocks counted after the outer
|
|
coding.
|
|

|
|
|
|
DTV-STAT_TOTAL_BLOCK_COUNT
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Measures the total number of blocks received during the same period as
|
|
:ref:`DTV_STAT_ERROR_BLOCK_COUNT <DTV-STAT-ERROR-BLOCK-COUNT>`
|
|
measurement was taken.
|
|
|
|
It can be used to calculate the PER indicator, by dividing
|
|
:ref:`DTV_STAT_ERROR_BLOCK_COUNT <DTV-STAT-ERROR-BLOCK-COUNT>` by
|
|
:ref:`DTV-STAT-TOTAL-BLOCK-COUNT`.
|
|
|

|
measurement was not complete yet.
