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

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

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
synthetic and convey no information about signal quality.
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.

Vector - The Vector display shows a plot of the R-Y signal on the vertical axis and the B-Y signal on the horizontal axis.
This display is useful for looking at hue and saturation of the colors, but does not show luminance information.
Lightning - The Lightning display shows the same color signals as in vector, but they are plotted versus luminance. One
color difference signal is plotted in the top half and the other in the bottom. Lightning is useful for checking chroma and
luma gain, and for checking chroma to luma delay using the timing marks that show errors in the green to magenta
transition on a color bar signal. This is a Tektronix proprietary display and is for SDI signals only.

the Aux Data Settings submenu of the Config menu. 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.
By default, alarms are not enabled for logging. Use the Alarm Setup submenu of the Configure menu to select the number of

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

ers you want. To save setup time and ensure c onsistency, you can save instrument setups as presets in your

Save the current instrument setup to a <filename>.PRS file
Restore the <filename>.PRS file to the same instrument or to a different instrument, overwriting the current setup of
the target instrument
Select up to all five of Presets 1 - 5 and save them into a single <filename>.PRE file
Restore the <filename>.PRE file to the same instrument or to a different instrument, overwriting any stored presets on
the target instrument that conflict with the new presets. If a preset was not stored in the file, uploading the PRE file
leaves it unaffected on the target.
The Web browser only provides the first capability from the above list for the Java Application.
The Java Applet cannot save settings to, or restore them from, a file.
From a Web Browser
The Web browser provides a quick way to capture individual presets for later upload to other instruments (or the same
instrument). Saved files are *.PRS files, and can only be uploaded to the instrument as an overwrite to the current instrument

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
