R&S TA-TRS is a sequencer software tool that is used together with R&S BTC and
certain accessories to provide the user with test automation and test reporting capabilities. The software features a user-friendly interface and unique test configurations such
as compensation loss, multiple interfering signals and smart learning of DUT control
via infrared remote control.
Used together with the R&S Broadcast Instruments, it offers users easy execution and
management of test cases for product validation and production testing. Offers an
automated test platform to perform RF and interoperability tests. In these tests, you
verify your product in accordance to the ETSI standards.
The test suite is designed to optimize the testing time. The versatile configuration
allows you to tailor the tests according to your different requirements, for example you
can perform the tests only on a subset of test signals.
The key facts are as followed:
●
Supports all test cases for EN 303340, EN 303345 and EN 303372-2
●
Automated detection of picture failure point for video and audio
●
Optional camera solution for automated error detection on TV screens
●
Intuitive state-of-the-art GUI with signal path loss compensation
●
Reproducible and consistent test results
●
Future-proof solution since more standards can easily be integrated into the software solution

To define the quality parameters used for A/V analysis to reliably assess video
quality and detect any deviation from a reference signal. PSNR and SSIM are the
objective metric and most commonly used for quality measurements of compressed images.
–"SSIM"
Define structural similarity index to be used for the threshold limit setting for
picture failure point measurement. The value range is 0 dB to 1 dB and value of
1 is achieved if there is two similar sets of data. Recommended is 0.97
–"PSNR"
Define peak signal to noise ratio to be used for the threshold limit setting for
picture failure point measurement. The value range is 0 dB to 100 dB. The
higher the value, the better the quality. Recommended are 35 dB.
–"Measurement Duration"
Define measurement period. The value range is 20 ms to 999 ms. Recommended is 200 ms.
●
Reference Video Quality
Define the reference video quality for Auto test. Auto test is required to make reference video file. After making it, TA-TRS will check whether the quality is good
enough. If the result is lower than threshold, the test stops and issues a warning
message

To determine the picture failure, the signal quality is evaluated. The evaluation is
determined by degradation criteria specified in the test standard.
–"Time"

●
Setting up of AVBCamera for EN303340 and EN303372 automated test with camera setup
A new file should be created if there is no existing compensation setting file or remote

TA-TRS provides auto-compensation methods to compensate the loss that occurs in
external parts connected to the R&S BTC and DUT, such as cables and impedance
matching pad.
User need to check frequency range based on standard

6.2Learning DUT IR Commands
6.2.1RedRat Prerequisites
Driver needs to be installed before using RedRat. Install correct driver for your Redrat
type - RedRat 3-II or RedRat-X.
To allow full automation, TA-TRS is using the RedRat 3-II or RedRat-X IR remote control to establish an intelligent learning system. Firstly, you teach the RedRat 3-II or
RedRat-X the IR signals of the original DUT remote control. Then you construct the
sequences to remotely control the DUT using the RedRat 3-II or RedRat-X.
The RedRat 3-II or RedRat-X IR remote control consists of a hardware and software
component. The hardware component sends and receives IR signals. The software
component controls the hardware component and is integrated into the TA-TRS.
To display the "Infrared Remote Control" dialog and connect the RedRat 3-II or
RedRat-X.
Open the "Remote Control DUT dialog" and click "Make New Sequence".

the sequence, BTC needs to generate proper signal to DUT to work with DUT.
1. Under "Action", select "Step 3: Learn Sequences" to create a new sequence file.
2. Under "Mode", select "Channel/Frequency switching" which is only selection at this
moment.
3. Under "Type of scanning", select one of four options.

●"Full Scan - no channel/Frequency"
It is known as auto scan without any additional frequency input during scan
procedure. This mode can cover most of applications.
●" Scan entering Frequency [MHz]"
It is known as manual scan with frequency(MHz) input during scan procedure.
This frequency keeps changing during the actual test. It needs to give timing
information to generate proper frequency (MHz). "Insert Freq.[MHz]" button
works for it. Put "Insert Freq.[MHz]" into sequence when manual frequency is
required during scan procedure.
