WFM 601A, WFM 601E & WFM 601M User Manual

This section presents information you need to set up your waveform monitor and
to check that it is functional. This section contains the following information:

 Product Description gives an overview of the product capabilities.

 Accessories lists the standard and optional accessories.

 Installation describes how to set up the waveform monitor for use.

 Functional Check gives a procedure to verify the primary functions of your

waveform monitor.

The waveform monitors measure and display 4:2:2 component serial digital
signals. A waveform monitor displays serial digital signals as the familiar
component signals, as an Eye pattern, as digital data or in a variety of standard
measurement modes. Use the EDH (Error Detection and Handling) system and
the suite of automated checks of the serial digital format to verify data integrity.
Refer to Appendix A: Specifications for details of the waveform monitor
performance.
