Beschreibung

The Tektronix WFM601i is a new serial digital product, extending the WFM601 Serial Component Monitor platform to provide a more comprehensive evaluation of the digital transport layer. In addition to the serial digital component waveform/vector monitor functions of the WFM601, the WFM601i allows observation of the analog characteristics (eye pattern) and digital compatibility (format checking) of the serial data stream. As in the WFM601, it accepts two serial digital component input signals, and displays the selected signal in traditional component analog form, allowing accurate monitoring and adjustment of component signal levels and timing on source and processing equipment.
The WFM601i  provides a comprehensive set of tools for analysis of the serial digital signal transport layer. A new, wide bandwidth, Eye Pattern display provides a clear indication of the digital signal channels analog performance. Digital signal level and jitter can be measured in accordance with proposed SMPTE recommendations, assisted by time and voltage Cursors.Format checking and reporting is expanded over the WFM601. Format violations are sensed and clearly reported, and when the EDH signal is present, digital errors in the active or full field picture are reported. A CRC checksum is provided for manufacturing environments where it is common to use fixed pattern test signals to confirm the digital integrity of signal processing products.
