Introduction

860 Controller is fully featured control software for use with the 860 (Benchtop Version) and

861 (Portable Version) Signal Generator & Analyzer products. This software is designed for

installation and operation on a standard Windows (7, 8, 8.1, 10) PC or Laptop. This software

provides full control over the Signal Generator & Analyzer products using a flexible and

automatically adaptive interface layout. The designated unit can be controlled via either

Ethernet or RS-232 and a direct command input CLI is also provided for advanced users.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

A desktop PC or laptop running a standard Windows (7, 8, 8.1, 10) operating system is

required.

installed versions of the software, to avoid potential conflicts, by using the Windows “Add or

Remove Programs” function.

SOFTWARE OPERATION

All major functions of the Signal Generator & Analyzer units are accessible from the tabs and

buttons provided in the main window of the 860 Controller software. These include operation

mode selection, EDID management, output resolution selection, pattern selection, function

control, sink/source monitoring, and cable testing (Portable Version only).

Operational Mode

The Signal Generator & Analyzer units have 2 main operational modes, Analyzer Mode and

Pattern Mode. The Portable Version has an additional 3rd mode, Cable Testing.

Select the preferred mode of operation by clicking the appropriate button in the Mode

Selection area in the upper-left corner of the software. The unit will take a few seconds to

change modes and refresh its data. Once the process has completed the button will be

highlighted and normal control can resume.

You may now select one of the Main Function buttons on the left side of the interface. This will

populate the interface with all appropriate controls and data relating to the selected function.

If at any time you feel that the currently displayed data is not correct or up to date (due to

direct manual operation of the unit, for example) you may click on the Refresh button to force

a re-download of the unit’s data to the software.

Clicking on the Command Monitor button ( ) will open a second window that displays all

command responses from the connected unit. Individual Telnet commands may also be

entered here to test command syntax or to control the unit directly.

EDID Management (Analyzer/Pattern)

This tab provides control over the unit’s EDID Management including options to select, read,

write, analyze and save any EDID available to the unit. While these functions are primarily

used when in Analyzer Mode, they are also available in Pattern mode.

entry box.

2. PRE-F: Opens a quick-access list of recently opened EDID files.

3. OPEN: Loads a previously saved EDID file (*.bin format) from the local PC/Laptop and

places it into the left window.

4. WRITE: Writes the EDID from the left window to the EDID destination selected in the

“Write to:” dropdown menu.

5. READ: Reads the EDID from the currently selected source/sink listed in the “Read from:”

dropdown menu and places it into the right window.

6. COMPARE: Compares the EDID in the left window with the EDID in the right window.

Any data that is different between the EDIDs will be marked in red.

7. <= COPY: Copies the EDID in the right window to the left window.

8. COPY SINK: Allows directly copying the EDID from the current HDMI sink to any of the

Copy EDID slots.

9. ANALYZE: Generates a short analysis report for the EDID (from the left or right window,

depending on the button pressed) in a new window. The report may be saved to the local

PC/Laptop if desired.

10.SAVE: Saves a copy of the EDID (from the left or right window, depending on the button

pressed) to a file on the local PC/Laptop.

11.CLEAR: Clears the copy of the EDID (from the left or right window, depending on the

button pressed) from memory.

12.Rx EDID: Allows selection of any EDID stored in the unit, or copied from a connected

sink. The selected EDID will be set as the EDID to be sent to any device connected to

the HDMI input (Rx) of the unit.

Output Resolution (Analyzer/Pattern)

This tab provides control over the unit’s Output Resolutions and allows setting “Favorite

Timings” for quick selection. These functions are available for both Analyzer Mode and

Pattern Mode.
