provides full control over the Signal Generator & Analyzer products using a flexible and

automatically adaptive interface layout. The designated unit can be controlled via either

Ethernet or RS-232 and a direct command input CLI is also provided for advanced users.

SOFTWARE OPERATION

All major functions of the Signal Generator & Analyzer units are accessible from the tabs and

buttons provided in the main window of the 860 Controller software. These include operation

mode selection, EDID management, output resolution selection, pattern selection, function

control, sink/source monitoring, and cable testing (Portable Version only).

Operational Mode

The Signal Generator & Analyzer units have 2 main operational modes, Analyzer Mode and

Pattern Mode. The Portable Version has an additional 3rd mode, Cable Testing.

Select the preferred mode of operation by clicking the appropriate button in the Mode

Selection area in the upper-left corner of the software. The unit will take a few seconds to

change modes and refresh its data. Once the process has completed the button will be

highlighted and normal control can resume.

You may now select one of the Main Function buttons on the left side of the interface. This will

populate the interface with all appropriate controls and data relating to the selected function.

direct manual operation of the unit, for example) you may click on the Refresh button to force

a re-download of the unit’s data to the software.

Clicking on the Command Monitor button ( ) will open a second window that displays all

command responses from the connected unit. Individual Telnet commands may also be

entered here to test command syntax or to control the unit directly.

write, analyze and save any EDID available to the unit. While these functions are primarily

used when in Analyzer Mode, they are also available in Pattern mode.
