The TOOLS option is only available with certain VSM-100 output displays. These are VECTORSCOPE, PARADE
and WAVEFORM MONITOR.

TRACE MEMORY
This option allows the current VSM-100 scope trace to be saved, recalled or cleared within the unit’s memory. A
saved or recalled trace will be displayed in green sample points and the live or current signals will be displayed in
white sample points. Where the saved and current traces match sample points are displayed in blue. In this way
two sources can be compared or a single source can be checked to see if its output drifts during extended use.
SET BANDWIDTH (VECTORSCOPE TOOLS)
This option can be changed between LOW or FULL bandwidth. The LOW bandwidth option results in fewer
sample points being displayed but still allows a good read of the incoming signals. The FULL bandwidth option
results in all sample points being displayed.
SET UP BARS (VECTORSCOPE TOOLS)
This option allows the Vectorscope Graticule targets for each colour to be switched between the 75% and 100%
colour bar positions. For most TV broadcast situations the Graticule targets should be set for 75% bars.
SET RGB / YCbCr (PARADE TOOLS)
This setting allows the parade displayed to be switched between RGB and component YCbCr values.
X ZOOM (WAVEFORM TOOLS)
This option allows the waveform display to be zoomed on the X Axis so a specific area can be examined in more
detail. X ZOOM options are:
100%
= The whole width of the waveform is displayed (normal view).
60%
= Only 60% of the whole waveform is shown on the display. In this setting X DELAY can be used to scroll left
and right across the waveform.
In this way the rest of the waveform can be viewed at the same level of detail.
40%
= Only 40% of the whole waveform is shown on the display. In this setting X DELAY can be used to scroll left
and right across the waveform. In this way the rest of the waveform can be viewed at the same level of detail.
20%
= Only 20% of the whole waveform is shown on the display. In this setting X DELAY can be used to scroll left
and right across the waveform. In this way the rest of the waveform can be viewed at the same level of detail.
