Identifying Waveforms
If you need to measure signals in different standards (composite, SMPTE, GBR, and Beta), you can
select a different waveform and vector color for each standard, and then store them in separate
memories. Afterwards, when you recall a memory, the MM-410/AVM-510A switches to the proper
video standard and displays the waveform in a distinctive color. To establish colors associated with
standards:
1.
Press the Config button.
2. Select INPUT and then press the Enter button.
3. Select an input standard for both inputs (both will be saved in memory).
4. Press the Prev Mnu button.
5. Select DISPLAY and then press the Enter button.
6. Select COLOR and then press the Enter button.
7. Select the WAVEFORM, VECTOR, or GRATICLE color and then press the Enter button.
8. Select one of the colors and then turn the knob to adjust it. Press the Prev Mnu button to go back
and change the color for another part of the display. You will see the color change, if you are
viewing a waveform or vector as you make the changes.
9. Press the Prev Mnu button until you get back to the Config menu.
10. Select MEMORIES and then press the Enter button.
11. Select STORE MEMORY and then turn the knob to select a memory number (1 to 10).
12. Select STORE and then press the Enter button to store the current configuration.
13. Press the Clr Mnu to exit.
NOTE:
The configuration you store replaces anything previously stored in that memory
number.
Another way to identify the signal source is to label the inputs. The labeling system has upper and
lower case letters, numbers, and punctuation including µ and ° as listed in the following table. Labels
are stored in the memories, one for A and one for B, so you can have up to six pairs of labels stored.
