to select a measurement, or on the Not Selected side of the screen to deselect a
measurement.
If you wish to select a small subset of the available measurements, select the
Select None softkey and then make your measurement selections. Touching the
Select All softkey selects all measurements.
Files in the Timed Events directory provide a facility for producing scheduled reports of
Auto mode measurements, or executing functions at specified times. Reports consist of
a set of measurements designated by a selected measurements file. A few lines from a
user-generated “New Timed Events” file follow:
New Timed Events file:
Time Type Channel Standard Selected File Name
12:00 report A NTSC System~Default
23:00 function B PAL Night_reset
The active Timed Events file is specified on the last line of the Video Source file.
When the VM700A senses an event time specified in the active Timed Events
file, it does one of two things:
If the event is a report, it selects the channel and standard, then runs the
measurements included in the Selected Measurements file specified by the
active Timed Events file.
If the event is a function, it selects the channel and standard, then executes
the function specified by the active Timed Events file.
The Report Time is entered in 24-hour format. Any file in the Selected Measure-
ments directory may be specified at any Report Time.
At any Event Time, regardless of what mode it is in, the VM700A screen will
blank and display a message indicating that a Timed Event is occurring. You will
see the LED in a SOURCE (channel) button light when measurements are being
made for a report on that channel. Report generation can also be overridden only
by entering Remote Operation mode.
The Event Times System Default file is the only file available for selection when
the instrument is shipped. Any additional files you create to provide time events
for your application are also available for selection.
