User Interface Overview
This document introduces you to the MTM400A and RFM300 DTV Monitor’s
user interface and explains the differences between the MTM400 RUI and the
MTM400A and R
The DTV Monitors are functionally similar to the MTM400 MPEG Transport
Stream Moni
for which Microsoft is withdrawing support. The DTV Monitors are based on Sun
Java, and are more closely aligned with the MTS400 MPEG Test System.
The DTV monitor remote user interface (RUI) looks similar to the MTM400
RUI, but the DTV monitor RUI provides a rich, multi-layered user interface that
allows structured access to all information.
Differences between the two RUIs include:
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
DTV monitor display.
In the MTM400, the button bar was the primary means of moving between
information screens. In the DTV monitor, although the button bar is still
present, screens are also directly acc essible using tabbed pages.
FM300 RUI.
tor. However, the MTM400 was based on Microsoft Java technology,
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.
For detailed analysis and specific monitoring situations, the button bar can be
hidden, leaving only the main application view visible.
Detail views in the main application can be displayed as separate windows
using the tear-off function.

User Interfac
e Components
The following figure shows the major components of the user interface
implemented in the DTV monitor 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.

buttons into a more intuitive order. The MTM400 Stream and Device hot spot
buttons become Monitoring and Device buttons in the DTV monitor RUI.
The buttons from the MTM400 Stream window have been streamlined and
grouped under the DTV monitor 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.

Analysis Views
User Interface Overview
The DTV monitor 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
MTM400, MTM400A, and RFM300 RUI v3.x Upgrade Technical Reference 5
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
results. Red, amber and green LEDs highlight errors associated with each
test
program, or element of a program, within the transport stream. R ed 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 a t 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
roblem.

Reverting the RUI
CAUTION. The RFM300 DTV monitor must not be downgraded below version 3.2.
You can use the following procedure to replace the MTM400A RUI on your
instrument with MTM400 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

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 DTV Monitor Application Firmware CD-ROM.
