[. . . ] Automated Video Measurement Set VM5000 Features & Benefits Automates Test of Consumer HDTV Video Devices Automates VESA Compliance Test for PC Graphics Devices Fast, Accurate and Reliable Video Measurements Comprehensive Component Analog Video Signal Analysis SD, HDTV and RGBHV Component Analog Format Support Picture, Vector and Waveform Displays Companion Test Signal Packages Time Saving Test Utilities Pass-fail Limit Testing Automatic Report Generator Video Measurement Accessories Complete DPO Functionality The VM5000 automates video testing of consumer HDTV and PC graphics devices such as digital set-top boxes, multi-media PCs, graphics cards and video semiconductors. It addresses the needs of engineers developing and deploying the next generation of video devices for the digitally connected home. Unrivaled performance in terms of speed, accuracy and reliability has made the VM5000 the choice of industry leaders for design validation, quality control and ATE applications. Unlike conventional instruments, the VM5000 integrates acquisition hardware, optimized video measurement algorithms, test signal files and accessories into a cohesive test system solution. [. . . ] Flexible Results Displays ­ To simplify test results analysis, the VM5000 features tabular results menus. Within each parameter group, users can easily browse measurement results, deviation from reference, nominal (reference) value and max/min tolerance limits for pass and fail. Reference information and calculations necessary to analyze and understand test results are logically organized and readily available. With limit testing enabled, nonconforming test results are highlighted in red, readily highlighting signal distortions for further analysis. Save and Recall Measurement Configurations ­ Measurement configuration settings can be stored, instantaneously recalled or easily copied to other instruments. Factory default settings can also be recalled, if necessary. Reference and limit files are associated with configuration 8 Option VGA ­ Analog RGBHV Measurement Interface Unit (MIU). VM5000 Test Report. Automatic Report Generator ­ A report generator utility speeds test documentation by creating an organized video measurement report with the touch of a single button. Test results, configuration settings and signal reference data details are summarized in the VM5000 test report. Reports created in . pdf and . rtf formats are organized and suitable for inclusion in certification test results. For data analysis, reports can be output in the form of a . csv file, easily imported into spreadsheet programs. Option VGA even includes the option to embed waveform screen captures into selected report formats. Video Measurement Accessories For convenience and enhanced test performance, the VM5000 includes a logical set of complementary video measurement accessories that simplify connection, termination and measurement. Custom designed sync pick-off and sync combiner accessories simplify measurement of TV signals with Options SD and HD. Option VGA includes a custom measurement interface unit (MIU) that has been engineered to enable precision, VESA compliant and fully automated measurement for 5 channel analog RGBHV signals. The MIU provides termination, signal switching and a current source/ sink, eliminating the need for expensive FET probes or manual switching of cables during testing. Addressing stringent requirements for measurement accuracy, the MIU incorporates an innovative dual input path for RGB and HV channels in order to deliver optimized accuracy for both DC amplitude files, and are automatically pulled in with a recall configuration command. This feature speeds and simplifies device testing with multiple display output formats, as users can configure, store and recall a set-up for each individual format. Reference Capture Utility ­ The output of a "golden" DUT or reference test signal generator can be conveniently captured and stored as a reference file. This utility enables current measurement results to be readily compared with other measurement results utilizing the tabular results display screens in the results menus. Sync Load Testing ­ Per VESA standards, H and V Sync voltages must be measured under V1 and V0 conditions with ±8 mA current loads to ensure adequate power is available to handle impedance variations that may occur with connected displays. Option VGA automates this test by providing loads with the remote control MIU.
