Incoming Inspection

The incoming inspection procedures are optional procedures that check the functionality of the instrument and require no equipment other than a display. For a more robust inspection, see the performance veriﬁcation procedures in the Speciﬁcations and Performance Veriﬁcation manual that is included on the User Documentation CD that was shipped with your instrument.

BasicTurnOnandSelfTest

1. Connect an XGA monitor to the

instrument.

2. Connect the AC power cord to the rear of the instrument and to a 100 to 240 VAC source. There is no power switch on your instrument: it will turn on as soon as you apply power.

3. Look at the front panel immediately after you apply power. All of the buttons, the text over the three knobs, and the Fault indicator should light up.

NOTE. After a couple of seconds, the lights

in the buttons and text will turn off. After about 15 seconds, the fault light should turn off and the Power On diagnostic page should appear on the monitor.

4. Verify that the instrument passes all self tests. Any failures will be shown in Red. The results of the Power On diagnostics are erased from the screen, but you can view them by selecting CONFIG >

Utilities > View Diagnostic Log.

5. After the diagnostics are ﬁnished, the

instrument state will be restored. When the progress indicator in the lower-right part of the screen is ﬁnished, the instrument has ﬁnished initializing.

Waveform Pop-up menu and settings

The Waveform pop-up menu enables you to choose the display style and display mode used in the active tile (SDI inputs only), select a ﬁlter to apply to the input signal, or center the w aveform in the display.

To choose a display mode, select from the following the choices (only available while displaying SDI inputs) in the menu:

YPbPr - Displays the input as Luma (Y) and color difference (Pb, Pr) c omponents.

YRGB - Displays the input as Luma (Y), Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B) components.

RGB - Displays the input as Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B) components.

SDI > Composite - Displays the SDI input as if it has been encoded into composite. The sync and burst in this mode are

When viewing 525-line SDI input as a composite waveform while using line select mode, both burst phases may appear when you would e xpect to see only one. This is because the line selection in SDI Mode is an odd/even selection, and composite signals are normally viewed with a one-of-four or one-of-eight line selection.

The instrument maintains an error log (also called the ev ent log) in which every logged entry is time-stamped.

View the log directly on the instrument by pressing S tatus > Error Log , or by clicking on the Error Log link on the Remote Web page.

CAUTION. The time of day time stamps in the error log are based on the system time of the instrument when the logging

process starts. Changing the system time of the instrument while the error log is in the Running mode does not change the time stamps in the running error log. You must stop and restart the error log before the error log will use the new system time.

Error log size. The error log can contain up to 10,000 entries. Recording each individual event separately would quickly

ﬁll the log. To handle this problem, the instrument classiﬁes log entries as one of the following:

Single shot. One isolated occurrence is logged as one entry.

Continuous. Uninterrupted sequence of occurrences is logged as two entries marking the beginning and end of the sequence.

Ancillary (ANC) Data Inspector

The ANC Data Inspector is part of the ANC Data D isplay and is available on instruments with Option DAT. This ancilliary monitoring feature allows you to see all ancilliary data present in a signal. The instrument continually monitors the signal and tells you when changes in the presence of data occur. When Watch List mode is activated, the instrument will display the presence and status of ANC data types you have selected in the Watch List. This allows you to focus on the ANC data types that are important to you.

Elements of the ANC Data Display . The following information is available on the ANC Data Display:

DID: Data Identiﬁer of the requested packet; permissible values range from 1 to 0xFF (255) inclusive

Typ e: Type of the ANC Data packet; either Type 1 packet (DID greater than or equal to 0x80), or Type 2 packet (DID less

than 0x80), as deﬁned by SMPTE 291M; Type 1 packets do not have a SDID ﬁeld, instead they have a DBN ﬁeld; the "actual va

lue" (with parity bits added) is displayed in parentheses

Display Informa

tion

SDID:Seco this ﬁeld only appears when a Type 2 packet is selected; the "actual value" (with parity bits added) is displayed in parentheses (mutually exclusive with DBN ﬁeld)

DBN: Data B lock Number of the acquired packet; values range from 0 to 0xFF; the "actual value" (with parity bits added) is displa

DC:DataC (with parity bits added) is displayed in parenthesis, in hexadecimal

Field:Theﬁeld of the video from which the packet was acquired; for progressive formats, 1 is displayed

Line: The line of the video (within the ﬁeld) from which the packet was acquired

Stream: For HD (SMPTE 292M), indicates whether the ancillary packet was acquired from the Y or C data streams;

for SD, "N/A" is displayed

Status: Indicates whether packet(s) of the desired type are present in the video; also indicates Checksum or CRC errors

Checksum: Indicates the checksum word that was recovered from the acquired packet

Should be: Indicates the checksum work computed by the instrument, based on data of the packet

Format: Indicates the name of the ancillary data type or standard

User Data Words: Contains the payload of the ancillary packet, displayed in hexadecimal; all 10 bits are displayed

Cloning Setups (Presets)

Given the complexity of SDI and other Video signals, instrument setups can become complex as you tailor them to monitor the paramet instrument. For the same reasons, you might also want to clone setups to use in s etting up other instruments. Saving and recalling of presets in the same instrument is covered in Using Presets in the WVR6020, WVR7020, and WVR7120 Quick

System Upgrade (CONFIG > Utilities > System Upgrade) is used to upgrade the system software of this instrument. The upgrade is performed across an Ethernet network.

PC System Requirements

The data-transfer utility for upgrading the instrument runs on these PC systems: Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.

The data-transfer utility also requires Winsock 2.0, an ethernet interface, and 10 MB of free disk space be present on the PC s

The boot monitor will assert a FAULT after an unsuccessful software update operation. The failure of the software update can be caused by update error, the instrument returns to the ready state (tile buttons ﬂashing).

In this event, you can try to resend the software data to the instrument. In the case of repeated failures, check to make sure that you have the correct software release for the instrument.

In this eve the instrument. W hen the instrument reboots, hold down the FULL button to return the instrument to the software update mode.

When using DHCP, there is a small possibility that the instrument will be assigned a different address when the software update mode is activated. (If the unit is not off or disconnected from the network for very long, then typically the instrument will get the same address as it had previously.)

In this event, you may need to abort the update (see CAUTION that follows), go the Conﬁguration menu and get the current IP address, and use that address in the update process. If this does not work the ﬁrst time, you m ay need to try again or use the manual IP address mode. Alternatively, you can temporarily set the IP address to the default value (192.168.1.1) once it is in upgrade mode by pressing the SEL button, and use that address in the upgrade procedure. After the upgrade is completed, the original IP address will be restored.

CAUTION. Once the instrument has started to erase internal ﬂash memory, DO NOT remove power from the instrument.

If you do so, the instrument will only boot in the software update mode until new software has been loaded into the instrument ﬂash memory. Therefore, use the MEASURE select buttons to abort a software update. Remove power from the instrument only as a last resort.

The instrument will automatically switch to factory default if DHCP discovery fails. Press the SEL button to restart DHCP discovery.

Separate the addresses with a space.

Alternatively, you can use ﬁle redirection to input the IP addresses to the transfer.exe utility. To do this, create a text ﬁle containing a carriage-return delimited list of IP addresses or DNS names for the instruments to be updated.
