It can also be used to get the current settings:

-Got parameters for DVBC/ANNEX_A:
FREQUENCY = 573000000
MODULATION = QAM/256
INVERSION = AUTO
SYMBOL_RATE = 5217000
INNER_FEC = NONE
+DELIVERY_SYSTEM = DVBC/ANNEX_A

+The dvb-fe-tool can also be used to monitor a DVB frontend statistics without
+touching on the device, using the --femon (or -m) parameter. The typical usage
+is to be able to read the statistics while some other DVB program or
+application is in use.
+
+
+On this mode, it will keep printing the frontend statistics on every second,
+until the program is aborted with CTRL-C:
+
+For example, while dvbv5-zap is tuning some channel, it will produce:
+
+@code{.unparsed}
+$ dvb-fe-tool --femon

+If the standard error device is the console, the messages will be colored

+
+On this mode, it also supports to output an audible signal if the quality is
+good, using the "-A" parameter.
+
+Please notice that, on modern Linux systems, the system audio should be
+enabled at your window manager and the audio theme should be set to produce
+an audio when BELL (\a character) is sent to the terminal.
