Welcome

MHL application
Engineers designing and validating the Mobile High-definition Link (MHL) Interface of their devices face constant pressure to improve efficiency. Engineers need to perform a wide range of compliance tests quickly and reliably right on their bench.
The MHL 1.X, 2.0, 1.3/2.1, 3.2 specification enables mobile devices to transmit uncompressed audio/video to an HDTV or receiver with HD capability. Option MHD advanced analysis and compliance test software meets the MHL 1.X,
2.0 and 1.3/2.1 CTS specification and option MHD3 advanced analysis and compliance test software meets the MHL 3.0 early CTS, 3.2 CTS and 3.3 CTS specification . MHD3 automates a comprehensive range of tests, enabling unprecedented efficiency with reliable results.

Equipment connection setup using the TF-MHL-CBS2-SOSI (MHL transmitter and receiver)

The Source Sink board (TF-MHL-CBS2-SOSI) is a low cost alternative to the C­Bus Analyzer. It provides an alternative solution for setup and can be used for the following:
Source tests, electrical – 3.1.1.1 to 3.1.1.20 (excluding 3.1.1.13)
Source System tests – 3.2.2.1 to 3.2.2.3 ; 3.2.3.1 to 3.2.3.4 ;
3.2..1.12 (excluding 3.1.1.13)
Sink tests, electrical – 4.1.1.1 to 4.1.1.8 (excluding 4.1.1.7)
Sink system test – 4.2.1.1 to 4.2.1.2 ; 4.2.2.1 to 4.2.2.3; 4.2.3.1 to 4.2.3.2
Dongle tests, electrical - 5.1.1.1 to 5.1.1.9 (excluding 5.1.1.7, 5.1.1.8)
Dongle System tests - 5.2.1.1 to 5.2.1.2 ; 5.2.2.1 to 5.2.2.3; 5.2.3.1 to 5.2.3.2
NOTE. The low cost TF-MHL-CBS2-SOSI cannot be used for C-Bus tests 3.3.x.x and 4.3.x.x.

View test-related files
Files related to MHL tests are stored in the MHL folder under the My TekExpress shared folder. In the MHL folder, each test setup has a test setup file and a test setup folder, both with the test setup name. The test setup file is preceded by the MHL icon and usually has no file extension displayed.
Inside the test setup folder is another folder named for the DUT ID used in the test sessions (the default is DUT001).
Inside the DUT001 folder are the session folders and files. Each session has a folder and file pair, both named for the test session using the naming convention (date)_(time). Each session file is stored outside of its matching session folder.
Each session folder contains image files of any plots generated by the test session, and any waveform files if prerecorded waveform files were used during the session.
The first time you run a new, unsaved session, the session files are stored in the Untitled Session folder located at ..\My TekExpress\MHL. Once you name and save the session, the Untitled Session folder name is changed to the one you specified.
NOTE. By default, test report files are saved in the session folder. You can change
the report file location for a specific test.
