MTM400 and MTM400A RUI v3.x Upgrade Technical Reference
User Interface Overview
This document introduces you to the MTM400A user interface and explains the
differences between the MTM400 RUI and the MTM400A RUI.
The MTM400A MPEG Transport Stream Monitor is functionally similar to the
MTM400 MPEG Transport Stream Monitor. However, the MTM400 was based
on Microsoft Java technology, for which Microsoft is withdrawing support. The
MTM400A is based on Sun Java, and is more closely aligned with the MTS400
MPEG Test System.
The MTM400A remote user interface (RUI) looks similar to the MTM400 RUI,
but the MTM400A RUI provides a rich, multi-layered user interface that allows
structured access to all information.
Differences between the two RUIs include:
H The MTM400 hot spot view, featuring device and stream buttons is no
longer displayed. The device and stream features have been integrated into
the single MTM400A display.
H In the MTM400, the button bar was the primary means of moving between
information screens. In the MTM400A, although the button bar is still
present, screens are also directly accessible using tabbed pages.
H The button bar can be displayed on its own to provide a high-level view of
the error state of the monitored stream. The bar can also be customized by
hiding and revealing buttons.
H For detailed analysis and specific monitoring situations, the button bar can
be hidden, leaving only the main application view visible.
H Detail views in the main application can be displayed as separate windows
using the tear-off function.

User Interface Components
Figure 1 shows the major components of the user interface implemented in the
MTM400A and version 3.x of the RUI.
The menu bar, toolbar, and status bar, while visually different, contain options
and buttons similar in function to those in the MTM400.
The main viewing areas of the window is divided into two areas: the Button Bar
and the Main Application View.

User Interface Overview
Button Bar
Main Application View
RUI Navigation
The MTM400 button bar showed monitoring status and displayed a corresponding view when clicked. The MTM400A RUI copies this idea, but rearranges the
buttons into a more intuitive order. The MTM400 Stream and Device hot spot
buttons become Monitoring and Device buttons in the MTM400A RUI.
The buttons from the MTM400 Stream window have been streamlined and
grouped under the MTM400A Monitoring button. The buttons from the
MTM400 Device window have been removed and replaced by a node in the
Analysis Tests view.
In the main application view, two top-level views are selected using tabs:
FlexVuPlus and Analysis. You can customize the FlexVuPlus display to contain
the analysis views of your choice.
The main analysis views are Programs, Tests, SI/PSI (tables), PIDs, Packets, and
Interface (when an optional interface card is installed). The analysis views are
selected using the summary tabs.
Each analysis view contains a tree view and a detail view. The content of the
detail view is dependent on which node is selected in the tree view.
The MTM400 RUI navigation was simple, allowing the right view to change in
accord with the button being clicked.
The MTM400A RUI has comprehensive navigation possibilities that use the
button bar, context menus, hyperlinks, and double-clicks.

User Interface Overview
FlexVuPlus Display
The FlexVuPlus display philosophy (first introduced in the Tektronix WVR600
Waveform Rasterizer), is now adapted for the MTM400A. This gives users up to
four concurrent views of a monitored signal and the flexibility to configure each
of the windows independently. Each of the FlexVuPlus views is derived from
views available under the Analysis tab. FlexVuPlus setups will be remembered
between MTM400A sessions.
With a virtually unlimited variety of stream monitoring displays from which
users can choose, this exceptional flexibility enables the MTM400A to perform
like a “4-in-1 monitor” on a single incoming stream. The FlexVuPlus display
enables users to easily configure their MTM400A to provide a monitoring
solution that is optimized for their specific requirement.
Present on all Analysis detail views, the FlexVuPlus
selection icon is used to extract views to the
FlexVuPlus panels.

Analysis Views
User Interface Overview
The MTM400A Analysis views each use a single tree view with different
context-sensitive detail views contained within tabbed frames. From the main
window, you can access the following views: Program, Tests, Tables, PID,
Packets, and Interface.
Programs View
The Program view provides a fast overview of the transport stream contents in
terms of program content, bit rated use by each program, and TR 101 290 test
results. Red, amber and green LEDs highlight errors associated with each
program, or element of a program, within the transport stream. Red LEDs
indicate that there are current errors in the stream, amber LEDs indicate that
errors have occurred but are now clear, and green LEDs indicate that no errors
have been detected.
Errors that are detected at lower levels in the program stream hierarchy propagate
up to the highest level. This allows you to monitor all of the programs in the
stream at a high level and then quickly go to lower levels as necessary to locate a
problem.
The contents of the MTM400A Programs view are broadly equivalent to the
following MTM400 screens: Stream view: Summary, Detail (All Programs),
Service and Event Logs, SFN, TMCC/IIP, Templates.

User Interface Overview
Tests View
SI/PSI (Tables) View
With the Tests view you can identify the tests that are signaling errors in a
monitored stream. The error log is automatically filtered by the selected test, and
can also be filtered by Packet Identifier (PID). In addition to the standard first,
second, and third priority tests included in TR 101 290 standard, tests are
available for Program Clock Reference (PCR) jitter and program/PID bit rate. A
variability test enables you to test the changes in the bit rate of a specific PID,
and there are many tests that are specific to ISDB-T and ISDB-S streams.
Informational events are also reported, including interface card warnings and
polling events.
Also displayed in the Tests view are tests related to the MTM400A monitor, for
example, the system card temperature.
The contents of the MTM400A Tests view are broadly equivalent to the
following MTM400 screens: Device View: Status, Device Log; Stream view:
Tests, Event Log.
The SI/PSI (Tables) view displays the service information tables that have
occurred in the analyzed stream that comply with the selected digital video
standard. This includes MPEG-specific program information, DVB service
information (SI), and ATSC (PSIP), ISDB program, and system protocol
information. The tables are grouped together by function and hyperlinks enable
you to quickly access related information within other tables. The SI/PSI tables
repetition rate graphs and section data are available on additional tabs.
PIDs View
The contents of the MTM400A SI/PSI view are broadly equivalent to the
following MTM400 screens: Stream view: SI graphs and tables.
The PID view displays information about all of the PIDs found in the transport
stream. When you select the transport stream, the associated summary view
provides a PID-oriented overview of the transport stream, displaying the relative
data rates of all of the PIDs contained within the stream. The information can be
displayed as either a bar chart or as a pie chart. Pop up menus enable fast limit
selection and links.
Each PID is associated with a number of tests. When one or more tests fail, each
failed test will be listed under the relevant PID. Select a specific PID to display a
summary of all the associated tests. Select a specific test to display the Event
Log and Parameters for only that test.
The contents of the MTM400A PIDs view are broadly equivalent to the
following MTM400 screens:
Stream view: PIDs, PID groups, PCR timing graphs.
Version 00e

MTM400 and MTM400A RUI v3.x Upgrade Technical Reference
User Interface Overview
Packets View
Interface View
In DVB mode, the Packets view displays SFN (single frequency network) data if
detected in the stream. In ISDB-T mode, this view displays ISDB-T information
packets (IIPs) and TMCC information, if detected in the stream.
The contents of the MTM400A packets view are broadly equivalent to the
following MTM400 screens: Stream view: SFN and TMCC.
The Interface view provides a central location for information related to the IP
and RF interface cards (where installed).
H Test results
H Graphical representation of specific IP and RF card measurements
H IP and RF card readings and control settings
The graphical views display a selection of graphs of instantaneous measurements
and measurement trends. Trend graphs use accumulated readings to represent
trends in selected readings for up to a week. Also available are an Event Log and
a Parameter view.
The Interface tab is displayed only when an interface card is installed; only one
interface card at a time can be installed.
Tear-off Views
The contents of the MTM400A interface view are broadly equivalent to the
following MTM400 screens: Stream view: Configuration (interface) and Input
Card.
The ability of the MTM400 to display multiple detail views at the same time is
replicated in the MTM400A using the tear-off function. Any detail view
displaying the tear-off icon shown below can be displayed as a separate window.
The tear-off window will continue to be updated independently of the main
application. The displayed content can also be modified independently of the
main display.

Reverting the RUI
You can use the following procedure to replace the RUI on your instrument with
RUI version 2.6.1. You would do this if you have an MTM400A monitor, or an
MTM400 monitor that has been upgraded to RUI version 3.x, and you want to
use the previous version of the RUI.
CAUTION. You must revert the RUI to version 3.0 before reverting to version
2.6.1. If you attempt to revert the RUI version directly from version 3.1 or above
to version 2.6.1, the process may fail.
As an alternative to using the RUI, you can use the command line firmware
upgrade program supplied on the MTM400A Application Firmware CD-ROM,
see page 24.
CAUTION. If you have the GE option (GbE interface) installed, you must use the
Command Line Firmware Upgrade process, page 24. For other interface
options, you can use either upgrade process.
Requirements
To perform this procedure, you need the the following files:
RUI version 2.6.1 firmware file - MTM400 v2.6.1 build 03.hex
RUI version 3.0.060 firmware file - MTM400 v3.0.060 build 702.hex
These files are available on the Tektronix Web site (www.tektronix.com/software). They are also provided on the application firmware CD that was shipped
with your monitor:
H MTM400 (Tektronix part number 063-3719-07)
H MTM400A (Tektronix part number 063-4136-xx)
NOTE. In this section the content of dialog boxes may change depending on the
RUI version. However, the dialog box titles and the procedures described are
accurate.

Command Line Firmware Downgrade
An alternative to downgrading the firmware using the MTM400A RUI is by
using the command line firmware upgrade program supplied on the MTM400A
Application Firmware CD-ROM.
Use the following steps to downgrade the firmware from the command line:
1. Ensure that the MTM400A instrument is powered on.
2. Ensure that the PC is connected to the same network as the MTM400A
instrument.
3. Ensure that the firmware upgrade file(s) is available; refer to Requirements,
page 17. You are advised to copy these files to a temporary directory on the
PC’s hard drive.
4. At the PC, insert the MTM400A Application Firmware CD-ROM into the
CD-ROM drive. You are advised to locate the upgrade program, mtmfwuploader.exe, and copy it to the temporary directory containing the firmware
upgrade file(s).
5. From the Windows desktop, open the Command window, Start > Run >
cmd.
6. In the command window, change to the temporary directory containing the
upgrade program and the upgrade files.
7. Enter the program command in the following format:
mtmfwuploader <mtm address> <firmware file>
for example,
mtmfwuploader 123.345.567.789 “mtm400 v3.0.060 build 702.hex”
NOTE. When the firmware upload file name has spaces in it, enclose the name in
quotation marks, as shown in this example.
