Scope of this User Guide
This User Guide provides descriptive and procedural information on the 980 DP 1.4 Video Generator / Analyzer

Although you can operate the 980 DP 1.4 Video Generator / Analyzer module through the "embedded GUI," most
of the examples used in the procedures in this User Guide are taken from the external standalone PC 980 GUI
Manager. The procedures are nearly identical between the embedded GUI running through the 980B/980R front
panel display and the external standalone PC application but the look and feel is slightly different.
