go-no go evaluation to applicable DMT,
CVT or GTF timing standards.
As an integrated signal analyzer, the
VM5000 can be reliably deployed as a
stand-alone QA station in manufacturing.
Unlike modular test systems, extensive
programming, complicated system
debugging or costly test engineering
support is not required with the VM5000.
Integrated pass-fail limit testing and docu-
mentation utilities link distributed design,
supply and manufacturing organizations
with standardized test capability. Product
quality is enhanced because accurate
test results can be reliably generated,
easily replicated and readily communicated
across a global engineering, manufacturing
or sales organization.
These unique capabilities enable in-depth
signal analysis, speed product development
and ensure new designs comply with
applicable standards. Fast, accurate and
objective video measurements enable
manufacturers to ensure that HDTV or PC
graphics video signal quality is up to the
challenge of today’s high-performance
displays, as well as providing clear differ-
entiation between input signal and display
device impairments.
Easy to Configure and Operate
The VM5000 offers intuitive Windows-
based configuration and measurement
menus for easy operation and minimal
training. A 10.4-inch (264 mm) color
display provides a bright, clear and crisp
display of waveforms and measurement
results. Users can easily navigate through
logically arranged menus and make
selections via radio buttons with a mouse
or optional touch screen.
