Operating the MM-410/AVM-510A
6-18
To create labels, decide what you want the label to say. You get 12 characters for each label.
1. Press the Config button.
2. Select INPUT and then press the Enter button.
3. Select LABEL INPUTS and then press the Enter button.
4. Use the Arrow buttons to select A: and then press the Enter button.
5. Turn the knob to select the first character of your label. After it appears in the cursor, press the
Enter button.
6. When one label is complete, press the Prev Mnu button and then press an Arrow button to move
to the other input.
7. Press the Enter button to start a new label.
8. To erase a label and revert to the default label, make sure the first character is a space. You do not
need to erase every character. The other characters will remain in the label in the menu, but the
label in the display will be the default one.
9. Store this pair of labels in a memory, along with the colors, positions, sweep rate, and video
standard for both inputs.
10. Press the Clr Mnu button to exit.
Displaying SC/H Phase and Time Codes
The label under the waveform always shows the sweep rate. You can add three other items to the label:
a measurement of the SC/H phase of composite or S-video signals, a color frame indicator, and a time
display (VITC or Internal Clock).
The SC/H and Color Frame readouts give you information about the signal you cannot get from
looking at the waveform. These readouts do not appear with vectors or with the combination vector-
waveform display. They also do not appear if you display both A and B inputs together. In addition,
the SC/H and Color Frame readouts cannot appear if the designated input standard is component;
however, the clock display can appear.
The SC/H phase readout, when enabled, appears under the waveform when viewing composite or S-
video waveforms. The reading is in degrees, plus or minus.
The Color Frame indicator tells you whether the viewed input and the external reference signal are in
the same color frame. When turned on, three possible states exist:
Readout Meaning
C/F OK The selected input and external input are in the same color frame.
C/F ERR They are not in the same color frame.
NO REF There is no signal at the
REFERENCE
input.
