Verifying Option 124, Y-Axis Video Out
The following two procedures outline how to verify that the rear panel
video out signal is correct. The first procedure is a quick check of the
0 to 1 V video out signal level that requires only a voltmeter.
The second procedure allows you to view the video out signal on an
oscilloscope and compare it to the PSA screen.
Figure 8-13 shows the block diagram of the optional A7 Digital IF that
supports Option 124.
