The PM 5410 family from Fluke offers today's widest choice of TV and video test signals from a range of compact instruments. These state-of-the-art generators provide support for TV, VCR and video monitor testing in all the PAL, NTSC and SECAM standards. Their basic functionality includes test patterns and outputs to test and align the total signal paths for video, audio and data services such as the Teletext and Closed Caption. Signals are provided for testing overall picture geometry for both 4:3 and wide screen 16:9 aspect ratios, as well as specific parameters such as high-voltage stability, beam current, static and dynamic convergence, picture resolution, color purity and color reproduction, and all vision and sound demodulators. Special test patterns and formats for VCR's and 100 Hz TV make these today's most versatile generators for the world's latest and most demanding test applications.
The multistandard, multifunction capability of these instruments, together with the wide range of options, means that there is always a model to match any set of requirements, whether it is in R&D, manufacturing, quality assurance, installation, service or training. The uniquely versatile PM 5410s meet a complete set of test requirements with a single, compact instrument. They are especially well suited for maintenance work by central service workshops that need to have access to all TV and VCR functions. The IEEE-488 GPIB-programmable option makes these models perfect for automated production-line testing.
Eigenschappen:
- RF selection
All models with RF output cover the entire frequency range from 32 to 900 MHz, including IF and all TV transmission bands, as well as all S- and hyperband cable TV channels. Selection of the synthesized RF frequency within these bands is done electronically via the keyboard. The step function enables fine adjustment and RF tuning. The RF carrier can also be switched off at intervals of approximately 10 seconds to test the synchronization circuitry.
- Memory
Up to ten front panel settings for different test situations can be stored in memory for later recall. In this setup data, the channel selection can be defined as frequency in MHz or as channel number.
The PM 5410 family has specific functions to meet the highly specialized requirements of checking and aligning teletext receivers and decoders. They offer a selection of over ten teletext pages with special contents for decoder testing. The DIDON ANTIOPE teletext signal is also available as standard. Selection of DIDON ANTIOPE or UK Teletext is by a rear-panel switch.
- FLOF, TOP and VPT
The test facilities of the PM 5410 family have been extended by a selection of teletext pages including normal teletext, FLOF (Full Level One Features), TOP (Table Of Pages) and VPT (Video Programming by Teletext). FLOF is used in the UK, while TOP is used in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, as well as via cable distribution systems in The Netherlands. VPT is a system which provides a menu that makes home VCR programming simple.
- Y/C + RGB option (PM 9553G)
The Y/C + RGB module provides the separate luminance and chroma (Y/C) outputs needed by new-generation S-VHS/Hi-8 video recorders and Y/C monitors. The PM 9553G Y/C + RGB module can be retrofitted to the PM 5414V, PM 5415 and PM 5418 TV signal generators, or can be ordered as a factory installed option (so called "Y"-version)
- Universal PAL/NTSC Chroma unit (PM9546)
The Universal Chroma Unit adds the capability to the PM 5410-series generators to provide patterns according the PAL M and PAL N standards, as used in countries in e.g. Latin America. This module is optionally available for most models (see ‘models, options and accessories’ for availability) and needs to be ordered together with the main instrument. Alternatively, the option can be built-in through a Fluke or Fluke-authorized service center (re-calibration is required).
- NICAM digital sound
NICAM digital sound provides two high-quality digital sound channels and is compatible with existing PAL types B, G and I terrestrial TV and cable TV standards. NICAM is now also available in SECAM L. Suitable TV sets can receive two mono channels for simultaneous translation of foreign-language programs, stereo signals or transparent transmission of data.
The PM 5410 family provides the ability to select more than 55 digital sound test signals instantly, at any time, thereby speeding up and simplifying operation. The generators provide two digital sound channels with selectable low- or high-amplitude signals to test the expander of the TV receiver. Standard 1 kHz tones check the sound channels, and a 3 kHz tone on channel 1 can test the stereo or dual-sound performance of the TV. Three special test signals (Data 1, 2 and 3) are available to check the operation of the demodulator and decoder. An RSF (Reserve Sound Switching Flag) is high/low selectable to indicate that the analog and digital sound carriers are transmitting different information, or to indicate faults in the digital transmission.
- MTS Stereo and SAP (BTSC Sound)
In accordance with the BTSC standard, Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS), is available in combination with NTSC M and PAL M TV standards. In addition to mono and stereo sound, a Second Audio Program (SAP) is also available. Three test modes and special test signals are useful for easy functional testing of the stereo and SAP decoder. The sound signals are digitally generated which ensures high stability, and they are available at the RF output or via baseband processing at the precision MPX output.
- PDC/VPS test facilities
PDC and VPS systems use control information transmitted by the broadcaster to synchronize recording on a VCR with a transmitted program. Complete testing of video cassette recorders equipped with PDC/VPS under the PAL B, G, H, I, D and N standards is possible with the PM 5410 family. With PDC, the PIL (date and time), CNI (country and network), PTY and PTL are programmable. Special signals such as timer control code, recording inhibit/terminate code, interruption code and continuation code can also be selected. In VPS mode, parameters such as date, transmission time, country indication, TV channel, stereo/dual/mono sound and adult/general are included. Special signals such as LEER code, program interrupt and system status can also be selected. PDC/VPS data is shown in a 1/6 screen height horizontal bar which can be combined with any test pattern and displayed in six positions, either on-or off-screen.
- Closed Caption
Closed Caption provides a textual depiction of information simultaneously being provided on the audio portion of a television signal.
The PM 5410 family offers both Caption and Text modes in either of two operating channels. The Closed Caption information is present in line 21 of the video signal. Factory-coded Closed Caption information with a selection of 8 different display modes is possible. Additionally, selecting mode 9 provides a continuous automatic progression of modes 1 through 8, so all display methods can easily be tested.
- GPIB/IEEE-488
For use in systems applications, the PM 5418 TDSI is equipped with an IEEE-488 interface. All the available TV and sound modulation standards can be selected remotely, and "bus learn mode" and "identification mode" are included.
