WFM7200 Waveform Monitor v3.0.X Release Notes 3

Release notes

General limitations

This release has the following general limitations. Topics are listed in alphabetical

order.

Dolby operation with

Option DPE

For listening mode selections other than FULL or EX, clipping may

occur. For example, if the Dolby Digital input is 3/2 with full-scale test

tones and Stereo listening mode is selected, clipping will likely occur.

To avoid clipping, choose either compression mode, Dialnorm+Line or

Dialnorm+RF in CONFIG > Audio Input/Outputs > Dolby D (AC-3) Setup >

Dialnorm&DynRng.

When in Channel Mode 2/2 and Phantom Listening Mode, the Surround

Sound display (AUDIO tile) shows the Ls and Rs levels attenuated by 3 dB

instead of displaying at full amplitude for this channel mode/listening mode

combination.

When in Channel Mode 3/0 and 3-Stereo Listening Mode, the Surround

Sound display (AUDIO tile) shows the C level attenuated by 3 dB instead

of displaying at full amplitude for this channel mode/listening mode

combination.

The Dolby E/Dolby Digital decoder will pass through PCM audio at 48 kHz

frequencies or less. Audio frequencies above this will not pass through and

may cause noise or distortion on both the bars and the audio outputs. If PCM

audio at frequencies greater than 48 kHz is used, choose either AES A or

B as the input source.

Firmware update to

version 3.X

The ﬁrst time the instrument ﬁrmware is updated to version 3.X, the upgrade

process must be run twice in order for the ﬁrmware to be properly installed.

Subsequent upgrades will require only one attempt to upgrade the ﬁrmware.

If you are updating ﬁrmware from 2.X to 3.X via USB, after the instrument

reboots, you may have to remove and reinsert the USB ﬂash drive to complete

the update.

Firmware update with any

Dolby option

When updating the instrument ﬁrmware to 3.0.X and Option DPE is installed, do

not cycle the instrument power until the Power-on diagnostic screen is cleared

and the User interface is fully running. If the Instrument Fault LED is lit (red

Power/Standby button), an additional instrument reboot is required. This may be

performed by pressing the Power/Standby button. When the upgrade is complete,

the Dolby ﬁrmware version will be 2.1.2.1. You can conﬁrm the version on your

instrument from the CONFIG > Utilities > SW Version menu.

4 WFM7200 Waveform Monitor v3.0.X Release Notes

Release notes

Incompatible operation When applying 3 Gb/s signals to any instrument that does not support the

signal formats, the unit indicates that the signal input is not standard. Applying

unsupported video signals may result in a frozen PICT display.

SNMP messages Commands returning the audCurOutput OID return the string “Embed 7 & 8” for

embedded audio channel pairs 9 & 10, 11 & 12, 13 & 14, and 15 & 16.

Sweep The waveform style must be set to Overlay to get 2 line or 2 ﬁeld sweep.

USB Always press the MAIN button and select USB Status to safely “Unmount”

and remove the USB memory device from the USB port. You risk permanent

loss of any ﬁles saved on the USB device if you do not use the “Unmount”

feature.

If there are more than 32 ﬁles saved in a Capture or Presets directory on the

USB device, you can only view the ﬁrst 32 ﬁles.

Waveform mode cursor for

XYZ color space

The voltage cursors are given in millivolt scale, but the XYZ color space is

referenced in hex scale. To see the values for 000 to FFF, change the graticule

settings to max and percent.

Web browser The Web browser applet will not resize when running in some versions of

the Netscape browser and in some non-Windows Operating Systems (for

example, Solaris).

We recommend using Java Runtime Engine (JRE) version 1.6 or above.
