You can also install the waveform monitor in a custom installation, such as a console. For installation instructions, refer to the WFM6100, WFM7000, and WFM7100 Waveform Monitors With Option FP Quick Start User Manual.
Composite inputs. Audio options can add inputs for digital only or analog audio capability. The WFM6100 is similar, except that it does not support HD rate video signals. All models use an internal XGA monitor for the display, and have an output to drive an external XGA monitor with the same display.
