NTSC Video Measurements
Recognized with eight technical
Emmy awards and one Oscar for
outstanding contributions to the
television industry, Tektronix
world class core competencies
have enabled it to design and
deliver the most comprehensive
solutions in the industry.
The VM700T is a product of this
core competency. Recognized as
the defacto industry standard
that keeps pace with evolving
customer needs, the VM700T is a
total solution for your baseband
video and audio 1 monitoring and
measurement needs. Features
such as an extremely fast and
fully automatic measurement
mode as well as full manual oper-
ation provides the first time user
as well as the seasoned professional
an unequaled value for their test
and measurement investment.
Automatic video measurement set
The VM700T Auto mode makes
standard video transmitter mea-
surements quickly and automati-
cally, including those specified
in RS-250C/EIA-250C, NTC-7
and RS170A. Both vertical interval
and full field measurements can
be made and compared with
user-defined limits. A dual limit
verification system is employed
to generate a caution or alarm
message when either limit is vio-
lated. Reports can be generated
and printed automatically at
operator scheduled times or
triggered from a conditional event.
Graphic displays of measurements
Measure mode provides virtual
real time graphic displays of
measurement results automati-
cally. Vertical interval or full
field measurements including
noise spectrum, group delay,
K-factor, differential gain and
differential phase are presented
as clever, easy to understand
interactive digital displays. Such
displays are indispensable when
extremely fast measurement
update rates (up to 30 times a
second) are required to provide
instant feedback of critical
adjustments and analysis of sig-
nal variations. User definable
limits are visually integrated
into each graphic display and
can be used to trigger a measure-
ment report or a user definable
macro function. Such a function
can, for example, dial out through
1 Option 40 audio measurement package.
