What it does
Plug a supported analog signal into the protected input to see measured horizontal and vertical timing and an estimated video format. This helps distinguish absent sync from unexpected timing at the bench. A rate match is not proof that the whole signal is valid, and the instrument is not an oscilloscope or universal format decoder.
Required but not included
- Video source, compatible adapter and connecting cable.
Included
- meter, matched supply, input-limits card and selected adapter.
What it does not do
- A likely format label from timing is not proof of a valid picture. It is not an oscilloscope or universal format decoder.
