How to Operate Your Instrument
DataList Status Display
Pressing the
MAIN
button calls up the Main pop-up menu. From the Main pop-up menu, you can select the
DataList
display
under the
Measure
heading. The Data Display mode shows the actual SD or HD input data without any interpolation. The
DataList display shows the signal data in two formats: as a trace and as data. The trace form is shown on the left portion of
the display and the data form is show on the right portion of the display.
Display Elements:
1. Video / Data:
The waveform monitor
provides two modes for representing
signal data in the trace portion: Video
and Data.
Video Mode: Shows the data like the
video YPbPr display in waveform mode,
but without interpolation. The Y, Cb, and
Cr traces are offset vertically to separate
them, but are aligned temporally. Since
Cb and Cr have half the data rate of Y,
the samples appear twice as long. Use
the Select Channels soft key to turn off
individual components of the display.
Data Mode (SD): Shows the data in the
same sequence as it occurs in the serial
domain. You see a sample of Y, then
of Cb, then of Y’ (Y prime), and then of
Cr. Then the sequence repeats. The Y
sample is the co-sited sample, and the
Y’ sample is the isolated luma sample.
Data Mode (HD): Splits the serial data
into a Y channel and a multiplexed Cb/Cr
channel. The intent is to show the data
in the same orientation as it occurs in the
serial domain, even though it is displayed
as 8 or 10 bit values.
2. Traces:
In Video mode, you can select
which traces to view.
3. Readout Format:
Select the format of
the data readout.
4. Line / Word:
Touch either readout to use
the large knob to select the line or word
to be viewed. Press the SELECT knob to
toggle control between Line and Word.
Different fields of the data stream are shown in different colors:
Green - Active video data.
