Reference
Alarm Status Displays The instrument provides the following five alarm status displays which correspond to the categories of alarms provided in the Configure menu: general, serial, audio (Option DG only), auxiliary data, and physical (WFM700M only).
| An “X” appears in the Enabled column for each of the enabled alarms. The |
| Status column indicates the status of each alarm, whether or not that alarm |
| condition has been enabled. Table |
Table 3- 5: Alarm status indicators | |
|
|
Indicator | Description |
|
|
OK | No alarm condition is detected. |
|
|
Yes / No | Indicates whether or not a condition was detected. |
|
|
Error | An alarm is detected and information about the error is displayed. |
|
|
N/A | The alarm condition does not apply to the current configuration. For example, the RP165 EDH status alarm is set to |
| N/A when an HD signal is present because RP165 is only valid in SD signals. |
|
|
Missing | An optional feature is not present in the input signal. For example, the RP165 EDH status alarm is set to Missing |
| when the input is SD but there are no RP165 packets present in the signal (EDH is an optional signal feature). |
|
|
12345678 | In the Audio Alarm Status display, this indicator may appear to show which audio channels have errors. For example, |
| |
| This indicator is logical, after remapping, and not physical. |
|
|
| RGB and Composite Gamut Error Indicators. When RGB and/or Composite |
| Gamut errors are detected, the associated lines in the Alarm Status display have |
| characters that indicate which gamut threshold(s) are exceeded for each |
| component. Table |
