To install the HD3G7
module enhanced signal
sets
In addition to t
he factory installed s ignal sets, there are enhanced signal sets
available for the FLAT FIELD button o n the HD3G7 module. These signals are
located on the TG8000 SW Library and Documentation DVD that was supplied
with your instrument.
Perform the following steps to install the enhanced signal sets:
1. Install the TG8000 SW Library a nd Documentation DVD into the DVD drive
on your computer.
2. Using the DVD browser, n avigate to the following directory: Test Signals >
HD3G7 Signal Library > Enhanced Signal Set.
The Enhanced Signal Set directory contains the following files:
Monochrome Fields.xml — includes all monochrome flat fields from 0%
to 100% in 10% incremen
ts.
Color Fields.xml — includes color fields for six primary and secondary
colors at both 100% and 75% values.
SMPTE RP431-2 Color Patches.xml — includes full field patterns for
each of the Black-White and Black-Dark Gray steps, plus the “–1” and
“–2” color patches.
3. Use FTP to locate and copy the desired signal s et file(s) from the DVD to
the HD3G7/SIGNAL directory on your TG8000 generator. Instructions for
using FTP are located in the How to transfer files using FTP section of this
manual. (See page 2-67.)
NOTE. If you load the Monochrome Fields.xml and Color Fields.xml enhanced
signal sets on your TG8000 generator, you can delete the Flat Fields.xml file from
the HD3G7/SIGNAL directory, since it contains a duplicate copy of a subset of the
Monochrome Fields.xml and Color Fields.xml patterns.
4. After you load the n ew signal set file(s) on the TG8000 generator, you must
either reboot the TG8000 or perform the following SCPI command before the
new signals will be available:
OUTPut[1/2]:SYNThesizer:SIGNal:BUILd
This command rebuilds the XML signal library and will detect any newly
added signals.
To reinstall the fa ctory default signal sets. To reinstall the factory default signal
sets, perform the previous procedure to install the signal set files from the
following directory on the TG8000 SW Library and Documentation DVD: Module
Test Signal Library > HD3G7 Signal Library > Standard Signal Set.
After you reinstall the standard signal sets, delete the enhanced signal set file(s)
from the HD3G7/SIGNAL directory, and then reboot the instrument.
