Requirements and Restrictions
Do not change the oscilloscope settings when the test runs. If you change the
settings when the test runs, the software may give abnormal test results.
Prerequisites
TekVisa must be installed on the oscilloscope. If you do not have TekVisa,
you can download it from
http://www.tek.com/site/sw/detail/1,1059,2704,00.html.
If the signal is not connected and the noise level is less than 50 mV, then the
software detects and displays a message such as 'Improper Waveform.'
For better and reliable results
Before you run any test, calibrate the probes and oscilloscope for Signal
Path Compensation.*
8
If the signal is not connected and the noise level is less than 50 mV, then the
software detects and gives a message such as 'Invalid Signal.'
* To calibrate an oscilloscope, on the oscilloscope menu bar, click Utilities >
Instrument Calibration, and then click Calibrate.

This happens due to the following reasons:
1. Oscilloscope bandwidth is less than 4 GHz. For higher resolution HDMI
signals, you need at least a 4 GHz oscilloscope. Your oscilloscope
bandwidth is less than 4 GHz. You cannot measure less than 1 ns Tbit
signals accurately.
2. Serial Pattern Trigger option is not available. Source Intra-pair skew test
requires serial trigger (Option ST) but it is not found in the oscilloscope.
You cannot perform the Source intra-pair skew test.

3. Maximum available record length for two channels is less than 16 M.
For HDMI compliance testing, you need at least 16 M record length in two
channels. This is available with Option 4 M or above, but it is not available
in the installed oscilloscope. The software runs the eye and jitter
measurements with the maximum available record length.
Depending on the type of oscilloscope that you have, you can start the software
in different ways.

is present on the source waveform.
Change the polarity of the waveform.
Install Option ST.
Follow the instructions in the setup
diagram and probe the proper signal.
Follow the instructions in the setup
diagram and probe the proper signal.
Switch on the DTG and wait for the
DTG software to load.
Check GPIB connections.
Ensure that the primary and
secondary addresses of DTG in the
remote control match the GPIBENET configuration of the
oscilloscope.
Ensure that the GPIB-ENET
configuration on your oscilloscope
matches the signal sources
configuration in the software.
Ensure that the specified file in the
software is present in the DTG.
Specify a file name that is present in
the DTG.

For DTG connection failure:
Switch on the DTG and wait for the
DTG software to load. Check the
GPIB connections. Ensure that the
primary address of DTG in the
remote control matches the GPIBENET configuration of the
oscilloscope. Ensure that the GPIBENET configuration on your
oscilloscope matches the signal
sources configuration in the
software.
For AWG connection failure:
Switch on the AWG and wait for the
AWG software to load. Check the
GPIB connections. Ensure that the
primary address of AWG in the
Utility > Network > Address
matches with the GPIB-ENET
configuration of the oscilloscope.
Ensure that the GPIB-ENET
configuration on your oscilloscope
and signal sources configuration
in the software match.
Select distinct primary addresses for
DTG and AWG.
Follow the instructions in the setup
diagram and probe the proper signal.
Ensure that the edges in the
waveform and the display in the
numeric input are the same. Adjust
the horizontal scale to increase the
number of transition that is required
to adjust the deskew.
The deskew will be done to the
maximum deskew value that is
applicable to the oscilloscope.
Increase the sampling rate.
