Power requirements
This instrument is designed to be powered by a 19 VDC input or by the
WFM200BA Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery pack. However, the instrument
will operate from any regulated DC voltage between 11 V and 20 V. Input
voltages below 18.5 V should not be used while the WFM200BA battery pack is
installed, as the battery pack will discharge until it is below the input voltage
level.
AC power. When the instrument operates from an external AC adapter, the
following power requirements apply:
WARNING. Fire can cause personal injury and/or property damage. To prevent
risk of fire, when using an external DC source other than the provided AC
adapter, make sure that it has a suitable current limiting device (such as a fuse).
■
A single-phase power source with one current-carrying conductor at or near
earth-ground (the neutral conductor).
■
The power source frequency must be 50 or 60 Hz, the operating voltage
range must be from 100 to 240 VAC, continuous. The typical power draw is
27 W. However, if you are operating the instrument and charging a battery at
the same time, the typical power doubles to 54 W.
WARNING. To reduce risk of fire and shock, make sure the mains supply
voltage fluctuations do not exceed 10% of the operating voltage range.
■
Systems with both current-carrying conductors live with respect to ground
(such as phase-to-phase in multiphase systems) are not recommended as
power sources.
NOTE. Only the line conductor is fused for over-current protection. The fuse
is internal and not user replaceable. Do not attempt to replace the fuse. If
you suspect the fuse has blown, return the unit to an authorized service
center for repair.
■
Use the proper power cord with the AC adapter. See International power
cord options on page 5.

the Configuration menu, select the submenu. The entry lists the options installed
on your instrument.
Three levels of control
Scope of controls
You control the instrument on three levels:
■
Frequently changed settings. The front panel buttons control the most
commonly changed parameters, such as which measurement appears in each
tile. Use the knob and navigation buttons to adjust levels and make
selections.
■
Tile-specific settings. Pop-up menus control parameters that are specific to
the tile in which they are displayed. The pop-up menus control less
frequently changed parameters such as the waveform display mode (for
example, changing the waveform display mode from RGB to YPbPr). To
display a pop-up menu, press and hold the desired button for about two
seconds.
■
Instrument-wide settings. The parameters in the Configuration menu are
instrument-wide settings. The configuration menu controls settings that are
changed only occasionally, such as changing waveform color or setting the
network address.
Some controls are global and affect all tiles, while other controls only affect the
active tile. Generally speaking, if a control is configured by front panel buttons or
by a pop-up menu, it is tile specific. (Exceptions are the Input and Ref buttons,
and all audio and generator features, each of which are global.)
If a control is configured by the Configuration menu, the selections are always
global. The settings in the Display, Main, and Preset menus are also global.
The Capture button can be either global or tile specific depending on the setting
in the Configuration menu (Display Settings > Freeze Affects).

Dolby E loudness
measurements
The following tables list the Dolby E loudness measurements for each program.
The measurements were made with a Tektronix WFM8000 Series waveform
monitor using the ATSC A/85 2013 Loudness preset.
Dialnorm values of –23 dB and –24 dB are used by default within the instrument,
depending on the Dolby E level setting. If you want to use the measured loudness
values instead of the default dialnorm values, you can enter them by adjusting the
Dolby E metadata dialnorm setting. If you want to continue using these measured
loudness values, use the PRESET menu to create a preset with the specific values
you want.

AV Delay Measurement display (Option AVDP only)
The AV Delay Measurement display provides two measurements. The
measurements can be run only one at a time and require the instrument to be out
of service. In each measurement mode, a special signal is output from the SDI
OUT connector.
AV Delay: Measures the duration that a video system advances or delays the
audio signal relative to the video content. The measurement allows facility
engineers to ensure system integrity and facilitate A/V delay compliance.
In AV Delay mode, the video and audio on the SDI OUT signal are continuously
cycled between being on for 0.5 seconds then set to black and muted for
4.5 seconds.
Propagation Time: Measures how long it takes signal to pass through a video
system. The measurement allows facility engineers to align the timing of the
multiple incoming videos, check the delay of a CODEC system and/or a video
signal path, including the satellite feed.
In Propagation mode, the video and audio on the SDI OUT signal are
continuously cycled between being on for 0.5 seconds then set to black and
muted for 9.5 seconds.
To access the
AV Delay display
NOTE. The amount of time that the AV Delay or Propagation Time signal cycles
on and off varies slightly depending on the format of the SDI test signal output.
The A/V delay and propagation time can be measured up to the test signal
interval.
The Propagation Time measurement measures the delay of video signal path, not
the audio signal path.
1. Press and hold the MEAS button to open the Measure pop-up menu.
2. Use the arrow keys to select Display Type > AV Delay.
3. Press the MEAS button to close the pop-up menu.
