    摘要: A chrominance to luminance gain and delay measurement display shows gain and delay inequalities due to differences between luminance and chrominance chanels of a video device as a point within a rectangular coordinate display system with respect to established tolerance limits. An appropriate test signal having bar and modulated pulse waveforms is selected from digitized video data stored in a field store acquisition memory. Luminance and chrominance arrays are derived from the modulated pulse waveform. The center points for each array are identified and displayed as a time difference between the center points along one axis of the display and as an amplitude ratio (chrominance/luminance) between the center points along an orthogonal axis of the display. The display includes a tolerance window so that an operator can readily observe whether the chrominance to luminance gain and delay is within established tolerances.

    摘要: A timing pulse jitter measurement display suitable for observing large jitter deviations, such as those caused by head changes between fields of video data in a video tape or cassette recorder (VTR or VCR), selects a range of data samples about each timing pulse for processing. The data samples are acquired using a stable, jitter free, precision clock. Residual signals, such as residual subcarrier in a video signal, are removed from the selected data samples and a precise timing point is determined for each timing interval with respect to a stable reference point. The deviations of the timing points from a baseline, derived from the precision clock and representing the stable reference points occurring at a nominal timing interval, are displayed, and means provided for determining peak to peak jitter along any portion of the acquired set of displayed data samples. Averaging also is provided between acquisition sets of data samples to reduce noise and highlight phase errors due to some repetitive influence.

    摘要: A test system includes a test and measurement instrument, ovens to hold devices under test (DUT), each oven having an oven switch selectably connected to the DUTs, channel switches selectably connected to the oven switches and to one channel of the instrument, one or more processors to: select an oven and its oven switch, connect that oven switch to a subset of DUTs in that oven, connect the channel switches to that oven switch to receive signals from the subset of DUTs, send the signals to channels of the instrument to acquire waveforms from the subset of DUTs in parallel, and repeat connecting of the channel switches and that oven switch until the instrument has acquired waveforms from each DUT in that oven, use machine learning to tune each DUT, test whether each DUT in that oven is optimally tuned, and repeat until all DUTs have been tuned and tested.

    摘要: A test and measurement instrument includes an array of data pipes, in which each of the array of data pipes further includes an input coupled to an output of an interleaved Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), a hysteresis processor coupled to the input to receive a present pipe data value, and coupled to another hysteresis processor in the array of data pipes to receive a previous data value and a previous data direction, the hysteresis processor structured to perform a comparison of the present pipe data value to the previous data value to determine whether a magnitude of a difference between the present pipe data value and the previous data value exceeds a hysteresis value, and a pipeline trigger comparator. Methods are also described.

    摘要: A test and measurement instrument has a user interface configured to allow a user to provide one or more user inputs, a display to display results to the user, a memory, one or more processors configured to execute code to cause the one or more processors to receive a waveform array containing waveforms resulting from sweeping one or more parameters from a set of parameters, recover a clock signal from the waveform array, generate a waveform image for each waveform, render the waveform images into video frames to produce an image array of the video frames, select at least some of the video frames to form a video sequence, and play the video sequence on a display. A method of animating waveform data includes receiving a waveform array containing waveforms resulting from sweeping one or more parameters from a set of parameters, recovering a clock signal from the waveforms, generating a waveform image from each of the waveforms, rendering the waveform images into video frames to produce an image array of the video frames, selecting at least some of the video frames to play as a video sequence, and playing the video sequence on a display.

    摘要: A test and measurement system includes a proximity coupling device to transmit a modulated carrier signal and a proximity integrated circuit card to load modulate the transmitted modulated carrier signal and generate a modulated subcarrier signal on the wireless carrier signal. A test and measurement instrument acquires the modulated carrier signal and includes a phase-aligned subcarrier demodulator to demodulate the carrier signal including the modulated subcarrier signal. A demodulator detects commands and responses in the modulated carrier signal, removes the commands, and identifies a correlation index for each response. Each correlation index indicates a phase of the modulated carrier signal of the corresponding response relative to a replica carrier signal. The demodulator adjusts the phase of the replica carrier signal based on the correlation index for each response and down converts each response using the phase-aligned replica carrier signal. The modulated subcarrier signal is low pass filtered to demodulate response.

    摘要: A test and measurement system includes a multi-stack test subsystem including a plurality of test and measurement instruments, each instrument coupled to a device under test (DUT) to receive a plurality of test signals from the DUT during a test mode of operation. One test and measurement instrument is designated as a master and the remainder are designated as extension test and measurement instruments. The master communicates control signals to each of the extensions to synchronize the test and measurement instruments to simultaneously acquire the plurality of test signals provided by the DUT. An automation engine is coupled to the multi-stack test subsystem to receive the acquired plurality of test signals from the master, and the automation engine analyzes the acquired test signals to perform validation testing for each of plurality of test signals and simultaneously display results of the validation testing for the plurality of test signals.
