Atec Tektronix-VM6000 - Manual (Page 12)

Data Sheet
Reference and Limit Test Configuration Menu
Preloaded and User-definable Reference and Limit
Files
Tektronix supplies set of default reference and limit files for the supported
video formats for “out of the box” test functionality. Option SD and HD
have been preloaded with SMPTE/EIA standard reference values and
Tektronix-recommended tolerance limit files. Option VGA has been
preloaded with VESA reference and tolerance limit values based on
the applicable timing standards. The signal reference data boosts test
productivity by minimizing the need to access separate standards or
quality documents. Files can be edited with other spreadsheet programs
to specify customized target values, conformance limits, or go/no-go
manufacturing process limits. Reference and limit files can be auto-selected
by format (default), manually specified, or loaded automatically using preset
configuration files (.vmset).
Flexible Results Displays
To simplify test results analysis, the VM6000 features tabular results menus.
Within each parameter group, users can easily browse measurement
results, deviation from reference, nominal (reference) value, and max/min
tolerance limits for pass and fail. Reference information and calculations
necessary to analyze and understand test results are logically organized,
and readily available. With limit testing enabled, nonconforming test results
are highlighted in red, readily highlighting signal distortions for further
analysis.
Save and Recall Measurement Configurations
Measurement configuration settings can be stored, instantaneously
recalled, or easily copied to other instruments. Factory default settings can
also be recalled, if necessary. Reference and limit files are associated with
configuration files, and are automatically pulled in with a recall configuration
command. This feature speeds and simplifies device testing with multiple
VM6000 Test Report
display output formats, as users can configure, store, and recall a setup
for each individual format.
Reference Capture Utility
The output of a “golden” DUT or reference test signal generator can
be conveniently captured and stored as a reference file. This utility
enables current measurement results to be readily compared with other
measurement results utilizing the tabular results display screens in the
results menus.
Automatic Report Generator
A report generator utility speeds test documentation by creating an
organized, video measurement report with the touch of a single button.
Test results, configuration settings, and signal reference data details are
summarized in the VM6000 test report. Reports created in .pdf and .rtf
formats are organized and suitable for inclusion in certification test results.
The option to insert an embedded waveform screen in .rtf format provides
the detail of the results to the reviewers. For data analysis, reports can be
output in the form of a .csv file, easily imported into spreadsheet programs.
