Specifications
This section provides a brief overview of the WFM 601A, WFM 601E, and
WFM 601M waveform monitor product features. The feature list is followed by
the product specifications.
Product Description
The waveform monitors measure and display 4:2:2 component serial digital
signals. The waveform monitors display serial digital signals as the familiar
component signals and in a variety of standard measurement modes. You can use
the EDH (Error Detection and Handling) system and the suite of automated
checks of the serial digital format to verify data integrity.
Most of the features listed in this section are common across all three waveform
monitors. Where a feature applies only to a specific model, the model is in
