5.3 Real Time Mode Data Panels
This section describes the Real Time controls and data panels. The Real Time mode is only available through the
embedded GUI. It is not available through the external 980 GUI Manager.
Note : Detailed procedures for operating the 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer through the built-in GUI are provided in
the 980 Quick Start Guide.
5.3.1 Reference Frames Concept
The 980 HDMI Protocol Analyzer Real Time
feature uses the concept of “Reference Frames” which are sets of
data values that you can compare with other collected frames of data of the same type. As you collect data in the
Real Time mode, the feature will create a distinct view for each change in the source stream for that specific data
type. For example, if you have opened up the AVI infoframe panel, a change in any data that is part of the
infoframe, such as the video type (RGB, YCbCr), will result in a new distinct view of the data.
By default, the Real Time mode establishes the initial data set as the Reference Frame. The initial view is the view
of data that occurs when you open up a panel or when you initiate a Clear operation. You can change the
Reference Frame at any time using a pull-down menu. The data in all other views is compared against the data in
the Reference Frame. Differences are highlighted in gold text.
5.3.2 Zoom Feature
Because the Real Time mode can only be viewed in the embedded 980 GUI where screen real estate is limited,
the interface has a zoom feature for setting the viewing size of each dialog box. The zoom feature enables you to
set the viewing size if a data panel to any of three settings: 1) Small, 2) Medium, and 3) Large. The zoom dialog
box is accessible from the upper right corner of each panel. Simply touch select the desired checkbox. The
following image depicts a typical zoom dialog box.
