PulseBar | Quantum Data 801GC, 801GF, 801GX specification

PulseBar	(TV formats only)
Description:	The image looks like two vertical lines followed by
	a wide vertical bar on a display’s screen. The first
	line is a sine-squared modulated pulse that fades
	from black to red and back to black. The pulse is
	20T for PAL and 12.5 T for NTSC formats. The second
	narrower line is a 2T white sine-squared pulse. T =
	100 nSec for PAL and 125 nSec for NTSC formats.
	The wide bar is white with sine-squared edges.

Test:	Video System Testing
	This multi-purpose pattern can be used with other
	instruments to check television K factors. The
	modulated pulse can be used to check chrominance-
	to-luminance delay and gain. The narrow white line
	can be used to measure short term linear distortion
	(K2T). One scan line of the image, as it would appear
	on a waveform analyzer, is shown here:
