Format (XGA) Allows viewing picture in all formats
In SD formats, full screen picture occupies the central portion of the XGA raster area. For tile mode, the image is downsampled to fit the 512 x 350 size
In HD formats, picture is downsampled to fit in 1024 x 768 size (512 x 350 in 4--tile mode). In 1080P 60/59/50 dual link formats, picture is formed by averaging two lines, one from each link, then downsam­pling as required for display
In Low Frame Rate formats, frames are repeated as needed to achieve XGA frame rate; similar to 3:2 pulldown on some frame rates
Pix Border On/Off Allows user to mask or show the inactive
portions of the raster such as ANC area for digital and sync for analog.
When the border is on, the image is scaled to correct the aspect ratio. When the border is off, the image is either mapped pixel to pixel (full screen SD), or minimally deci­mated to reduce the atrifacts
Synchronization Picture mode always uses internal timing; it
is not affected by external sync

The Phase Correlation Meter Speed setting determines how quickly the meter reacts to changes in phase relationship. The meter reading is actually an average of correlation over time, and this setting determines how many samples are used to calculate the average. The instrument uses the fewest samples when this setting is 1, and the meter reacts almost instantaneously. The instrument uses the most samples when the setting is 20, and the meter reacts much more slowly. Experiment to find the setting that best fits your application

unbalanced inputs of consumer amplifiers,
in which case the negative output pin must
be grounded
Audio Sources The channels routed to the line outputs
may include: Embedded audio source, AES
audio source, Analog audio source, and
Decoded Dolby
Number of Channels Provides up to eight channels
Output Connections Balanced, unterminated via rear panel

driven to a larger amplitude. You can
reduce the level by adding attenuation in
the Audio Settings menu. Do not exceed
the maximum rated output power in either

Terminals on this product may have different installation (overvoltage) category designations. The installation categories are:
CAT III Distribution-level mains (usually permanently connected). Equipment at this level is
typically in a fixed industrial location.
CAT II Local-level mains (wall sockets). Equipment at this level includes appliances, portable
tools, and similar products. Equi pment is usually cord-connected.
CAT I Secondary (signal level) or battery operated circuits of electronic equipment.
Typically the internal environment inside a product is considered to be the same as the external. Products should be used only in the environment for which they are rated.

Supported Input Formats and Allowed References

An X in Tables 1--45 through 1-- 47 indicates that that combination is supported and verified. Other combinations within each of these tables may work, but are unverified and only supported on a best effort basis.
Operation with an input from one of these three tables and a reference from another table is not supported (for example, a 1080i 50 input will not work with a 1080i 60 reference). Such mismatches may be reported on the display, and/or the display will “roll” due to the inherent incompatibility between the standards.

Performance Verification

Performance Verification

This section contains a collection of manual procedures for verifying that the following waveform monitor products perform as warranted:
H WFM7100 models (with Option FP) and their options
H WFM7000 models (with Option FP) and their options
H WFM6100 models (with Option FP) and their options
This chapter is divided into two sections: Incoming Inspection Procedures and Performance Verification Procedures. The test procedures in this chapter provide
for an extensive confirmation of performance and functionality.
NOTE. Before performing any of the procedures and tests in this manual, the waveform monitor must have been operating for a warm--up period of at least 20 minutes and must be operating at an ambient temperature as listed in Table 1--43.

Incoming Inspection

This section contains functional/operational checks appropriate to an incoming inspection.
The waveform monitor must have been operating for a warm-up period of at least 20 minutes, and must be operating at an ambient temperature as listed in Table 1--43 on page 1--39.
Use the following procedures to check the basic functionality of WFM6100, WFM7000, and WFM7100 Waveform Monitorswith Option FP installed. The checks are arranged by model and option so that you can choose the sections that are appropriate for your instrument. The last two sections are for less critical waveform monitor features: the ground closure and Ethernet ports. You need only test these if you intend to use them. In general, you should test in the order presented, since later tests might depend on items checked in the earlier tests.

Incoming Inspection Tests

Incoming Inspection
Basic Turn On and
Self Test
1. Connect an XGA monitor to the EXT DISPLAY connector on the rear of
the waveform monitor.
2. Connect the AC line cord to the rear of the instrument and to a 100 to
240 VAC source. There is no power switch on the waveform monitor, so the instrument will turn on as soon as you apply power.
3. Look at the front panel immediately after you apply power. The MAG, LINE SEL,andCURSOR buttons should be lit. The other front-panel
buttons will light one at a time, in sequence. Verify that all buttons do light. The sequence will repeat until the Boot Loader process completes (approxi­mately 30 seconds).
4. Record pass or fail in the test record for Front Panel LEDs.
5. After about 50 seconds, the power-on diagnostic page should appear on the
monitor.
6. Verify that all self tests pass. Any failures will be shown in red. The results of the power-on diagnostics are erased from the screen, but you can view the results by selecting CONFIG > Utilities > View Diagnostics Log > SEL.
7. After the diagnostics are finished, the instrument state is restored. When the progress indicator in the status bar is finished, the instrument has finished initializing.
Restore the Factory
Presets

8. Record Pass or Fail for the POST in the test record.
9. If it is still open, exit the Diagnostics Log.
1. Follow these steps to reset the waveform monitor to the Factory Presets:
a. Press and hold the PRESET button.
b. Select Recall Preset > Recall Factory Preset.
c. Press the SEL button.
1. Set the waveform monitor to the Factory Presets (see above). Wait for the
process to complete as indicated by the progress indicator. Record Pass or Fail in the test record.
2. Connect a 525/270 color bar signal from DVG1 to the SDI A input
3. Press FULL to set the active tile to full screen.
4. Turn the HORIZONTAL and VERTICAL knobs and verify the waveform
moves appropriately.

5. Press HELP to display the online help.
6. Press each of the front panel buttons.
Each button should flash as you press it. Most buttons will bring up help text related to that button in the right pane of the help screen. Some buttons, such as the presets, all bring up the same information, so you may need to alternate between preset buttons and another button to see the text change. The navigation keys (the four arrow keys and the SEL key) do not bring up help text. They are used to navigate the help panes and content.
7. Press the right arrow key until the Help Contents pane in the upper-left
corner is highlighted.
8. Turn the GENERAL knob and verify the selector box moves up and down
the list of topics.
9. Press HELP to exit help.
10. Record Pass or Fail for Buttons and Knobs in the test record.
LCD Pixel Defects
1. Set the waveform monitor to display a white screen:
a. Press the CONFIG button.

c. Press the SEL button.
2. Count any pixels stuck low (not white).
3. While the screen is all white, inspect for visible defects that exceed the limits
in Table 2--2 (page 2--23).
NOTE. Inspection should be done from 18” away from the display, under normal room lighting. Loose dust on the front of the screen does not constitute a defect
4. Press the SEL button to cancel the white screen.
5. Set the waveform monitor for an all black screen:
a. Select Utilities > Screen Solid Color > Select Color > Black
b. Press the SEL button.
6. Count any pixels stuck high (not black).
