Tektronix TSG601
Pathfinder SD
Description
The Tektronix TSG601 Serial Component Generator and the SDA601 Serial Digital Analyzer form a comprehensive test set for serial component television system installation and maintenance. Each handheld instrument complements the other and the set excels in its capability for stress testing the television system data path.
The TSG601 Serial Component Generator has Serial Digital Interface check field test signals that stress receiver clock recovery and phase lock loop circuitry. The data signal launch amplitude can be varied over the SMPTE specification range to check equalizer performance, and a built-in 50 meter cable simulator can be used to quickly check the available signal strength margin.
