[Fig. 9.4] Starting measurement 

The cable/transmission path test can be started by pressing the 

“SET” key while any of the cable test menus 

is displayed. 

If 

9.7 Starting measurement (P56)

” is set to “AUTO”, the measurement can be started by unplugging and 

plugging the cable while the cable test status is displayed (

TOP→CABLE TEST [3/3]).

Test signal

 

[Fig. 9.5] Signals are not detected 

If the test signals cannot be received due to the cable disconnection or TMDS Data/TMDS Clock or if the 

resolutions or color depth of the received and test signals do not match, 

“DISCONNECTED...” is displayed.

Synchronization 

failed

 

[Fig. 9.6] Waiting for signal stability/Synchronization failed 

When the GF-100 detects received signals, it displays 

“WAITING…” and waits until the signals become 

stabilized. 

You can change the waiting time in 

9.6 Waiting time for starting pixel scan (P56)

”. 

If the bit error cannot be measured due to signal deterioration or if there is a device that makes the resolution 

unstable during transmission, the GF-100 displays 

“SYNC FAILED” and finishes the measurement.
