Timing a Studio
6.
Remove the master input signal from the
waveform monitor and in its place, apply
another input to the router.
7.
Adjust the sync source or studio timing of
that signal so that it matches the saved
timing. When the timing matches, the
circle and cross in the display will both
be at the center of the Timing display.

1 You cannot save the timing offset if either the input or reference is missing or unlocked. You also cannot save a reference when in internal mode.
Saving an offset in these conditions would lead to misleading results so it is not allowed by the instrument.
Usage Notes
This timing relationship between input and reference is also compatible with waveform mode. That is, if you have zero
timing on the Timing display and change from internal to external reference, the displayed waveform will not shift position.
When timing analog composite signals, first use the Timing display to get within one clock cycle, then adjust system
phase with the Vector display. (See page 63,
Vector Display
.)
If you have an input and reference combination that requires multiple timing indicator circles, then it can be misleading
to compare timing offsets between multiple inputs. Because the timing display chooses the smallest of the possible
timing offsets, if a large timing difference exists between two inputs, then they may not be matched. This problem
will also occur using traditional timing methods unless one uses something similar to the SMPTE318 10 field flag to
identify a specific submultiple of the reference.
