9. Automatic Measurement
(AVM-510A)
Introduction
Automeasurement uses the full power of the AVM-510A Series Automated Video Monitors (AVM-
510A) signal processing capabilities. Automeasurement is a flexible system that can take specific
kinds of measurements on the most common types of test signals and present these measurements as
graphs, as numerical values, and as a red (out of limits) or green (within limits) indications.
Automeasurement Screen Elements
Figure 9-1 shows a typical automeasurement screen. The screen consists of a series of horizontal
graphs, each labeled with the name of the measured parameter, such as SYNC AMPL, PEAK VIDEO,
or SC/H PHASE. The horizontal bars are red at the ends and green in the center with a red or green
vertical mark somewhere on the line.
Figure 9-1. Typical Automeasurement Screen
The red ends of the line indicate the out-of-tolerance area. The green, in the middle, indicates the area
of measurement that is within the set tolerances. The vertical mark indicates the current reading.
At the right of the screen is the actual measurement with the units. If the current measured value is
within tolerance, the vertical mark and the numerical value will be green; otherwise, the vertical mark
and numerical value will be red.
