This procedure assures the proper operation of the Video Demodulator and the
gated measurement circuitry. Since this is not a Performance Requirement,
typical values are used throughout the procedure.
H Test equipment required:
PA L/NTSC Signal Generator (TSG 95)
CATV Modulator (TVM450)
1. Connect the TSG 95 Video Output to the TVM450 Video Input.
2. Connect the TVM450 --20 dB RF TEST Output to the 2715 RF INPUT.
3. Set the TS G 95 to produce 5-Step Grayscale and set it to the desired video
format (NTSC or PAL).
4. Set the TVM450 output to Channel 4 and the RF level control full counter-
clockwise.
