Field Two  Causes the selected line number to be 
viewed as an offset into the second 
field. If Line 1 is selected, it is the 
264th line of the frame (NTSC-M, 
NTSC-Japan, PAL-M) or the 314th line 
of the frame (PAL-B,D,G,H,I, 
PAL-N-Combin, SECAM-L).

Field 
Sync Pos Neg  Refers to the nature of the video waveform. Normal 
baseband video has a TV line sync pulse on the bottom 
of the waveform (more negative voltage). This is 
referred to as “negative” (
Sync Neg). When the analyzer 
is used as a TV receiver to produce baseband video, the 
detected video is “upside down” with the sync pulse on 
the top of the waveform (this is true only for NTSC and 
PAL transmission standards, not for SECAM). This 
orientation is referred to as “positive” (
Sync Pos).

Standard
  Accesses the Standard menu keys which allow you to 
select from the following TV standards: 
NTSC-M, 
NTSC-Japan, PAL-M, PAL-B,D,G,H,I, PAL-N, 
PAL-N-Combin, SECAM-L.

TV Source
   Allows you to select between the internal analyzer path 
(
SA) or the EXT VIDEO IN connector on the rear panel 
(
Ext Video In) as the source for the TV Trigger and TV 
Monitor functions. Note that this does not affect the 
signal viewed on the analyzer.

TV Monitor
  When TV Monitor is pressed, the selected Standard is 
used to determine the proper setup of the analyzer 
hardware for presentation of the TV picture. When the 
TV picture is active and on the display, pressing a key 
that normally accesses a menu, instead restores the 
original ESA graphical display with the selected menu 
enabled. The active function remains active and can be 
adjusted while the picture is displayed.

monochrome signals.
