Installation Variations

Remote Communication

The following topics cover remote communications that occur:

H Over an Ethernet network through a Web browser

H Over an Ethernet network through a Java applet

H Over a cable using the optional remote front panel

Using a Web Browser

You can use a Web browser to access the waveform rasterizer and save screen captures, download presets, and download the error log. Your rasterizer does need to be connected to an IP network via Ethernet. You will need to set the IP Config Mode, IP Address, Subnet Mask, and possibly the Gateway Address, to meet your network configuration requirements.

To connect to the waveform rasterizer using a Web browser, do the followi ng:

1. Press CONFIG to display the Configuration menu.

2. Select Network Settings > Web Enable.PressSEL to select On.

3. Set the IP Config Mode to Manual or

DHCP, depending in your network setup.

4. Note the IP Address for use in step 6.

NOTE. You may have to set other network parameters in this menu; see your LAN administrator if required.

5. Press CONFIG to close the Configuration menu.

WVR6100, WVR7000, and WVR7100 User Technical Reference

6. Start your Web browser and type the

network address of the waveform rasterizer (from step 4) into the URL entry box like this:

http://123.123.123.123/

Click on the indicated items to:

1. Start the Java applet (see next proce-

dure).

2. Display a list of Web clients (by net-

work address) currently logged into the waveform rasterizer.

Installation Variations

3. Display which options this instrument

is equipped with.

4. Display waveform rasterizer online

help.

5. Capture the full or status bar displays

in BMP or PNG formats. Retrieves the capture for saving to a file.

6. Download and display the Error Log as

tab-delimited text or an HTML table.

7. Download and display the Diagnostic

Log as tab-delimited text or an HTML table.

8. Download instrument settings to a file

in binary format.

9. Download Preset <N> to a file in binary

format, where <N> is any number from 1to5.

10. Download each of the MIB files in

ASCII format.

Many Web browsers do not correctly interpret IP addresses with leading zeros. If the IP address shown in the Configuration menu contains leading zeros as in 124.161.038.151, remove the “0” when entering it into the address line of the browser. For example, 124.161.038.151 should be entered as 124.161.38.151.

Using the Java Applet

To further extend your control from a remote PC, launch the Java applet from the Web browser to change the waveform rasterizer settings, display and refresh the waveform rasterizer screen, save screen captures, download and upload presets, and download the error log. The Java applet provides a menu bar and a virtual front panel that gives you complete remote control over instrument settings.

WVR6100, WVR7000, and WVR7100 User Technical Reference

Installation Variations

Note that the Web interface operation is optimized for screen resolutions of 1024 x 768 or higher. Operation on computers with lower resolution requires scroll-bar use to see the entire interface.

Java Applet Requirements

If you install Java on your PC, you can launch a Java applet to control the waveform rasterizer. The Java Applet requires:

H Version 1.4.1 (or later) of the Java Run-Time Environment (JRE) from Sun Microsystems installed on your PC. To

download the JRE (Java Run-Time Environment) plug-in from Sun Microsystems, download the appropriate code from the Sun Microsystems URL: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/

Once you download the executable file, launch the installation software and follow the instructions.

H Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later running on a Windows PC

H Netscape on Apple Linux or on UNIX machines

NOTE. If you need remote operation on other platforms, use the Java Application, which is a stand-alone application that provides all of the features of the Java applet. The Java Application can be run on any platform that supports Java version

1.4.1 or later, including Windows NT/2000/XP, Linux, Unix, and Mac OS X. The Java application, unlike the Java applet,

does not run within a Web browser and, thus, is not subject to the various browser limitations. You can download the Java application package from the Tektronix Web site. Look for WVR Remote Software Package in the download section of the Video Test Product pages.

The Java Application can be used to download instrument presets to a remote file and upload from the remote file to the instrument.

Launching the Applet

When you launch the Java applet, it is downloaded from the waveform rasterizer and launched. There is no software installation required to use the applet (other than the Java Run-Time Environment noted previously). The waveform rasterizer supports up to three remote clients (screen updates become slower with each client added).

1. Launch the Web browser as described under Using a Web Browser,starting on page 4.

2. Once the Remote Interface appears, select Launch Applet. and the Java applet will be launched.

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 si gnal, or center the waveform in the display.

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

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

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

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

H 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 expect 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.

WVR6100, WVR7000, and WVR7100 User Technical Reference

Display Information

To choose how the signal components are displayed in the active tile, use the Display Style menu setting (SDI inputs only) to select:

H Parade style -- has all the components shown one beside the other.

H Overlay style -- has all the components drawn at the same location so that they appear one on top of the other.

The Waveform pop-up menu Filter selection allows you to select filters to be applied to the video. This is useful for isolating a specific characteristic of the input. For example, to measure amplitude, you may want to use a Luma or Low pass filter to remove the high frequency components.

To choose a filter select one of the following filters from the Waveform menu:

H Flat -- Display wi th the full available bandwidth.

H Luma or Low Pass-- Displ ay only the low-frequency portion of the signal.

H Chroma -- Display only the portion of the signal with frequencies near the color sub-carrier. For Composite inputs only.

H Flat + Luma-- A combination of a Flat and a Luma waveform from a Composite input; it shows two waveforms in

parade configuration.

NOTE. For SDI displays, such as RGB mode, the available filters are Flat and Low Pass. For Composite displays, the available filters are Flat, Luma, Chroma, and Flat+Luma.

To cancel any horizontal or vertical position adjustments and restore the trace to the default position, select Center Waveform and press SEL. For a tile in WFM mode, this puts the baseline at the zero graticule.

Vector Pop-up Menu

The Vector pop-up menu enables you to specify the di splay type and display mode (SDI inputs only), to set the bar targets, and to center the waveform in the display.

To choose the display type (SDI inputs only), use the pop-up menu to choose either:

H 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.

H 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.

To select which scaling should be used in the active tile for either the Vector or Lighting display, use t he menu to select 75% or 100% scaling.

To cancel any horizontal or vertical position adjustments and restore the trace to t he default position, use the up/down arrow keys to select Center Waveform in the menu. Then:

H For a Lightning display, press SEL to center the waveform. The trace is set back to the center of the tile.

H For a Vector display, press the right-arrow key to select the color you want to locate at the center of the display.

H For additional vector graticule options, see Configuration/Graticule vector, I/Q axis, and Vector Compass Rose in the

Timing Display

Pressing the MEAS button displays a Tektronix proprietary display that simplifies measuring the timing difference between two signals as the timing is corrected. Using the Tektronix Timing display enables you to easily compare and correct the timing between two signals.

Display Elements:

1. Input Signal Indicator: A single circle representing timing of input signal relative to the reference.

2. Reference Indicator: A cross-hair indictor centered in the display represents the reference signal.

3. Vertical Offset: The timing difference between the reference and input signal.

4. Horizontal Offset: The timing difference between the reference and input signal.

5. Relative to: Indicates the chosen zero point for the timing display.

More complex timing relationships display multiple circles. See Timing Displays for Simple Versus Complex Timing on page 19.

Rear Panel is the default setting, where offset is shown as zero when the input and reference are at the same timing at the rear panel of the waveform rasterizer. If you select Saved Offset, you can save the timing from one signal, and then display the timing relative to that saved offset.

Measure Pop-up Menu

The Measure pop-up menu enables you to save a timing setting for comparison with another signal and specify the zero point of the timing display.

To save the timing of the current input as an offset to the timing display, use the Save Offset menu entry. The current timing becomes the zero point for the saved offset mode of the timing display. This applies to both the cross-hair target in the middle of the display and the numeric readouts.

NOTE. You cannot save the timing offset if either the input or reference is missing or unlocked. You also cannot save a reference when in internal mode. Saving an offset in these conditions would lead to misleading results so it is not allowed by the instrument. A warning message will appear on the screen if you attempt to save the offset when it is not allowed.

WVR6100, WVR7000, and WVR7100 User Technical Reference

Display Information

Save Offset allows you to measure the timing between inputs or to match multiple signals. To select the definition for the zero timing offset, use the Relative To: menu entry to select one of the following:

H Rear Panel, which means the timing offset will be shown as zero when the two signals are timed down at the rear of

the waveform rasterizer.

H Saved Offset, which means that the timing will be shown as zero offset when the input signal matches the timing of

the signal that was present when the offset was saved using the Save Offset menu entry.

This selection changes both the numeric readouts and the target in the middle of the timing display.

Timing Displays for Simple Versus Complex Timing

The number of circles, with each representing a time offset, varies with the complexity of the timing between the reference and input signals. If you are timing input signals with rates that are integer multiples of the reference rates, the instrument can measure the timing deterministically and displays the relat ionship as one circle (offset) relative to the cross-hair (reference as is shown).

Such cases include timing an NTSC input (multiplier of 1) or a 525 SDI input whose frame time is 33.36 ms (multiplier of 2), against an NTSC reference, which has a frame time of 66.73 ms.

If you time input rates that are not integer multiples of the reference rates, the instrument cannot measure the timing deterministically, so it displays the relationships as several circles. Each circle represents a possible timing offset measurement relative to the reference cross-hair. Display emphasis is given to the circle that times closest to zero offset and the numerical readouts track this pair.

Nondeterministic cases include timing of slow rate inputs against fast frame-rate references or when timing video against film rates.

WVR6100, WVR7000, and WVR7100 User Technical Reference

Display Information

For a case where multiple relationships would display, consider an input of 1080p/23.98 Hz with a reference of NTSC/59.94 Hz:

H The different rates result in timing rela-

tionships between the signals that repeat once for every four fields of the input and five frames of the reference (shown right).

H Because this allows for five possible

ways to measure timing between these two signals, the timing display shows four circles, with emphasis and readouts as previously described above.

Picture Display

Pressing the PICT button calls up the Picture display, which lets you see the picture generated by the video signal. You can choose to display the picture with or without a Picture Frame, VChip, Closed Capti oning (CC), and Safe Area Graticules.

Legacy Level Bars

Regarding the Level Bars in the Audio display, earlier-generation rasterizers shipped with audio boards that had different default mappings of the input channel pairs to the level bars. These rasterizers used a default arbitrary assignment; the current rasterizer assignment matches the order specified by the st andard SMPTE 320M, reversing the assignments of the second and third pair of channels compared to earlier rasterizers.

If you apply setups or presets that depend on the previous default assignments to current rasterizers t hat employ the current default assignments, you will need to m odify those presets to use the new assignments. Al ternatively, you could swap the inputs at the back of the rasterizer. You can also change the input to bar mapping in the CONFIG menu to any order that you want (see How to Configure Audio Inputs in the W VR6100, WVR7000, and WVR7100 Quick Start User Manual).

Above-bar Warning Messages

The waveform rasterizer displays warning messages above the level meter bars. The warning messages that can appear above the bars as follows:

Clip. The number of consecutive samples equals or exceeds the # S amples for Clip setting.

OVER. The signal has been at or above the specified Over Level for a time exceeding the Duration for Over setting.

WVR6100, WVR7000, and WVR7100 User Technical Reference

Display Information

In-bar Warning Messages

The waveform rasterizer displays warning messages within the level meter bars. The warning messages that can appear are shown below in order of priority.

UNLOCKED. The instrument is not locked to an incoming signal on the indicated input channel. Data cannot be decoded and all data and other errors are ignored. This means that if an AES input is selected, nothing recognizable is present on the input, or if embedded audio is selected, the VIDEO input is unrecognizable.

AES PARITY. The incoming subframe does not have even parity as specified by the digital audio standards. The data sample is unreliable and is ignored. The level meters and Lissajous display treat the sample as a zero sample.

AES CRC ERROR. The CRC code in the AES channel status packet is incorrect. Sometimes the CRC code is set to zero, indicating that the signal i s missing; when this is the case, this message is not displayed.

MUTE. The number of consecutive all-zero samples equals or exceeds the # Samples for Mute setting.

SILENCE. The signal has been at or below the specified Silence Level for a time exceeding the Duration for Si lence

setting.

DISABLED. Indicates that an audio bar is not active. This message is mainly seen with a Dolby Digital source when a listening mode is selected with a reduced number of channels.

AESVBIT.Indicates that the Validity bit is set high for one or more data sampl es. In the AES/EBU st andard, a set validity bit indicates that the sample is not suitable for conversion to audio. By default, the level meter bars and Lissajous display treat the affected samples as zero samples.

NO AUDIO. Indicates that an AES or embedded input has the Non audio bit set.

NOT PRESENT. Indicates that an audio bar is not present in the current audio input. This can be present if a Dolby Digital

input has a coding mode indicating a reduced number of channels.

DOLBY D. Indicates an AES or embedded input is Dolby Digital.

DOLBY E. Indicates an AES or embedded input is DOLBY E.

Eye Display

For waveform rasterizers equipped with Option EYE, pressing the EYE button calls up the Eye display (for SDI inputs only). The Eye display presents an eye pattern diagram of the SDI input, which lets you verify elect rical characteristics of the SDI transport layer. You can measure analog characteristics of the SDI input on the eye pattern using the graticule or voltage and time cursors. Two jitter indicators provide two independent measurements of jitter. You can also set alarms on various parameters (see your instrument online Help). For more information on jitter, search the Tektronix Web site for jitter application notes.

NOTE. If you have an early instrument that has been upgraded with an Eye option, but that does not have a dedicated front-panel button EYE button, both the EYE Display and the Timing Display are accessible under the MEAS button. To view the EYE Display with such an instrument, press and hold the MEAS button and select Display Type > Eye Display. With the EYE Display selected, the display and MEAS pop-up menu behave as described below. Selection of the Timing Display and pop-up menu are described under Timing Display on page 18. If you use a remote front panel without an Eye button, but the l ocal instrument has an Eye button, the instrument will use the oldest front panel version.

Option EYE is available only for the WVR6100 and WVR7100.

1. Eye Pattern: Displays a waveform you can use for SDI transport verification and analysis.

2. Jitter Thermometer: Displays jitter value and relates it to alarm limits.

3. Equalized Eye Indicator: If enabled in the CONFIG menu, the Eye pattern is equalized, reducing the jitter noise floor. Amplitude Cursor measurements do not indicate the actual signal amplitude.

4. Cursor Readouts: Provide for direct measurements of amplitude and time on the Eye.

5. Eye Pattern Type: Either 3 Eye, or 10 Eye (SD)/20 Eye (HD). The latter types can help reveal when jitter at the parallel word rate is present.

6. Jitter HPF: Indicates the setting for the Jitter High Pass Filter, set in the CONFIG menu.

WVR6100, WVR7000, and WVR7100 User Technical Reference

Display Information

At the end of a long cable, the eye diagram may appear so noisy that there is little or no discernable opening. In this situation, limited use of the eye diagram is still possible by selecting Equalized Eye mode. The equalizer compensates for the effects of cable length by applying an inverse response function and then reslicing the signal to a logic level. This causes amplitude information to be lost, but preserves the effects of jitter in the signal.

If the equalized eye display appears clear with a substantial eye opening, then the signal is likely to be recovered error-free. However, if it appears noisy with little eye opening, then there is more potential for data errors to occur in the receiver.

NOTE. For information on taking Eye measurements, see the How to Monitor the SDI Physical Layer section of the WVR6100, WVR7000, and WVR7100 Quick Start User Manual.

Eye Pop-up Menu

Pressing the MEAS button on the front panel will bring up the Eye pop-up menu. This menu enables you to center the eye waveform and, more importantly, specify the operation of the Jitter detector that drives the Eye display.

Supplemental Operating Information

This section contains t opics that, though of less general interest, may address your particular application needs. These applications include cloning setups, upgrading firmware, and a description of cable types.

Cloning Setups (Presets)

Given the complexity of SDI and other Video signals, waveform rasterizer setups can become complex as you tailor them to monitor the parameters you want. To save setup time and ensure consistency, you can save waveform rasterizer setups as presets in the rasterizer. For the same reasons, you might also want to clone setups to use in setting up other waveform rasterizers. Saving and recalling of presets in the same instrument is covered in To Use Presets in the WVR6100, WVR7000, and WVR7100 Quick Start User Manual. This section deals with using presets to clone setups.

Using a Web Browser, Java Applet, or Java Application

The Java Application provides a complete cloning solution. From the Java Application, you can:

H Save the current rasterizer setup to a <filename>. PRS file

H Restore the <filename>.PRS file to the same rasterizer or to a different rasterizer, overwriting the current setup of the

target rasterizer

Supplemental Operating Information

H Select up to all five of Presets 1 -- 5 and save them into a single <filename>.PRE file

H Restore the <filename>.PRE file to the same rasterizer or to a different rasterizer, overwriting any stored presets on the

target rasterizer 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 fi rst 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 indivi dual presets for later upload to other rasterizers (or the same rasterizer). Saved files are *.PRS files, and can only be uploaded to the rasterizer as an overwrite to the current instrument setup, not to Preset 1 -- Preset 5, and only by using the Java Application (see From the Java Application on page 34).

Saving to a file

1. Connect to the networked waveform

rasterizer from your networked PC using your PC resident Web browser. See Using a Web Browser on page 4 if you need instructions.

From the Java Application

You can save and upload rasterizer Presets to files from the Java Application. This application provides the only way to later upload to other rasterizers (or to the same rasterizer); the Web browser and the Java Applet cannot upload presets.

NOTE. If you have instrument firmware versi on 2.0 and greater, using the Java application, you can auto-save snapshots with multiple settings by right clicking in the remote display window.

Java Application Requirements

If you install Java on your PC, you can launch a Java applet to control the waveform rasterizer. The Java Applet requires:

H A computer running on any platform that support s Java version 1.4.1 or later, including Windows NT/2000/XP, Linux,

Unix, and Mac OS X.

H Java Standard Runtime Environment version 1.4.1 or later. The Java runtime must already be installed on your system

in order to use the Java application.

H The Java application package (wvr7100.zip) from the Tektronix Web site, installed on the computer.

H The waveform rasterizer, networked or otherwise connected for remote control from the computer.

Usage Notes

When saving presets as files for later cloning to other rasterizers, take note of the following:

H Option configurati on mismat ch between Clone source preset and the target result in some different setup parameters.

The target accepts only the common setup parameters. Parameters not supported by the target are ignored: parameters not supported in the source remain unchanged in the target.

H Model mismatch (WVR6100, WVR7000, or WVR7100) between Clone source preset and the target result in some

different setup parameters. The target accepts only the common parameters setup parameters. Parameters unsupported by the target are ignored: parameters not supported in the source remain unchanged in the target.

H Rasterizers with early versions of firmware have some default settings that do not match those of rasterizers t hat

shipped with this manual. If the source preset contains settings left at defaults for an earlier firmware v ersion, they will be set to the defaults for the later firmware version in the target.

Upgrading the Waveform Rasterizer Firmware

System Upgrade (CONFIG > Utilities > System Upgrade) is used to upgrade the system software of the WVR6100, WVR7000, and WVR7100 Waveform Rasterizers. The upgrade is performed across an Ethernet network using a PC to transfer the new software to the waveform rasterizer.

PC System Requirements

The data-transfer utility for upgrading the waveform rasterizer 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 system.

WVR6100, WVR7000, and WVR7100 User Technical Reference

Supplemental Operating Information

Before You Begin

Before performing Installing the Firmware on page 40, read about possible fault conditions and their remedies, and about how the waveform rasterizer uses button animation to signal upgrade progress and events.

FAULT Recovery and Cautions

H The boot monitor will assert a FAULT after an unsuccessful firmware update operation. The failure of the firmware

update can be caused by a network communication error, time-out, or a corrupt firmware package. When it detects a firmware update error, the instrument returns to the ready state (tile buttons flashing).

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

H The boot monitor might also detect errors in the DHCP software which can result from repeatedly switching between

factory and DHCP network settings. The FAULT light remains li t and the instrument fails to obtain an address from a DHCP server.

In this event, reboot the instrument by pressing one of t he MEASURE SELECT buttons or by removing power from the instrument. When the instrument reboots, hold down the FULL button to return the instrument to the firmware update mode.

H When using DHCP, t here is a small possibility that the waveform rasterizer 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 waveform rasterizer will get the same address as it had previously.)

In this event, you may need to abort the update (see CAUTION that f ollows), go the Config menu and get the current IP address, and use that address in the update process. If this does not work the first time, you may 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 SEL, 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 (VECT button lit), DO NOT remove power from the instrument. If you do so, the instrument will only boot in the firmware update mode until new firmware has been loaded into the instrument flash memory. Therefore, use the MEASURE select buttons to abort a firmware update. Remove power from the instrument only as a last resort.

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

DHCP discovery.

NOTE. FAULTS will not be logged into the diagnostic log because the boot monitor is running, not the main instrument software.

Run the Upgrade

10. On the PC, double-click the trans- fer.exe file to launch the transfer pro-

gram. This displays the window shown at right.

11. Type the network address (for example: 128.181.221.002) or DNS name of the waveform rasterizer you want to update. Make sure to delete any leading zeroes, as shown in the example in the illustration.

Press Enter.

NOTE. To stop the firmware update, you can press any MEASURE button on the front-panel of the waveform rasterizer before the words Erasi ng Flash... appear in the transfer utility window.

12. The transfer utility displays done when the software upgrade completes.

When the software upgrade completes, the waveform rasterizer will reboot.

13. To update another waveform rasterizer, begin at step 5 and skip step 10. If you won’t be updating another waveform rasterizer, press Enter to exit the transfer utility.

Upgrading Multiple Instruments

You can upgrade several instruments in in one session, one at a time, if you have determined their addresses. To upgrade, use the Windows Command Prompt. Enter the following line in a Command Prompt window (substituting the addresses of your machines):

transfer.exe 192.181.115.1 192.181.115.2 192.181.115.3

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. If you created a text file named HOSTS.TXT, you would enter the following command to update a group of instruments:

transfer.exe < HOSTS.TXT

WVR6100, WVR7000, and WVR7100 User Technical Reference

NOTE. You can also place the waveform rasterizer into the upgrade mode by pressing the FULL button while applying power to the instrument.

Verifying the Upgrade

After you have completed the firmware upgrade, the instrum ent will reboot and come up in an operational mode.

To verify the functional performance of your instrument, perform the Incoming Inspection procedures starting on page 11.

NOTE. See the Readme.txt file that i s included with the firmware-upgrade package to determine whether al l of the current Configuration menu and instrument-mode settings are preserved through upgrading.
