Configuring the DUT — Option VGA
To perform measurements on the DUT, you must provide an appropriate video signal to the VM Series system. You
accomplish th
is by displaying a bitmap file on the PC in which the DUT is operating. The preferred bitmap file, when
taking multiple measurements, is the Matrix signal. If you need to take only one measurement, you can use a full-field test
pattern rather than the Matrix signal. All the necessary Matrix signal and full-field test pattern bitmaps required to test for
compliance t
o the VESA Test Procedure – Evaluation of Display Graphics Subsystems (Version 1 Rev. 1), are located
on the PC Bitmap Graphics Test Signal Files CD-ROM.
1. Set the resolution and refresh rate of the
DUT to the re
quired values.
2. On the PC con
taining the DUT, display
the contents of the PC Bitmap Graphics
Test Signal Files CD-ROM.
3. Display the contents of either the Matrix
or Full Fie
ld folder.
If you plan
to take multiple
measurements, open the Matrix
folder.
If you plan to take only one
measurem
ent, open the Full Field
folder and select the appropriate test
pattern using the following table.
