Waveform Mode

Press the WFM button to enter the Waveform mode. In Waveform mode, the selected components are displayed in a voltage versus time plot. You can apply flat or low pass filters and choose the color space modes (such as RGB or composite). In component color space modes, you can turn the individual components on or off.

Parade / Overlay In Parade mode, all selected components of the signal are displayed from left to right, in the same order as they appear on the soft key (for example, in the RGB display, “R” is on the left, followed by “G” and then “R”). In Overlay mode, all selected components of the signal are overlaid.

Configuration Use the Video Inputs/Outputs submenu of the Configure menu to modify the waveform by turning the EAV/SAV stripping on and off. Use the Grat / Gamut Default Setup submenu of the Configure menu to select the graticule units used in the waveform display (mV, IRE, or % full-scale).

Secondary Modes You can use the following secondary modes while in Waveform mode:

Gain. Use the Gain menu to adjust the vertical gain of the signal display.

Cursors. Use the cursors to measure time and amplitude.

NOTE. Do not use the time cursors to measure time between components in a paraded waveform display. Parade mode is a special display format that represents all displayed components in a single screen, irrespective of the time relationship between components.

Line Select. Use the Line Select function to select part of the video signal to display and measure.

Freeze. Use the Freeze feature to capture (freeze) the active signal and compare the frozen signal to the live signal.
