Workflow for running the HDMI Source Compliance Tests

The following is the high level workflow for running the HDMI Source Compliance Tests.
1. Power up the 980 Protocol Analyzer.
2. Connect the source device under test to the 980 Protocol Analyzer.
3. (Optional) Establish an Ethernet/IP connection between the external 980 GUI Manager and the 980 Protocol
Analyzer.
4. Complete a (or load an existing) Capabilities Declaration Form (CDF) for the device under test using the CDF
Entry panel.
5. Select the tests that you wish to run from the Test Selection panel.
6. Initiate the tests through the Test Options / Review panel.
7. View the detailed data for test failures if failures occur.
8. View the results in the Test Results panel under the Navigator panel.

Making the physical connections

This subsection describes the physical connections required to run the HDMI source compliance tests. You can
either run the tests through the embedded GUI manager (running on the 980) or the external 980 GUI manager.
This procedure assumes that you have assembled the 980 Protocol Analyzer and source device under test into
your work area. There are three connection scenarios depending on whether you are using the embedded GUI
Manager or the external GUI Manager and also depending on whether you are connecting your host PC to the 980
through your corporate LAN or directly.
3.2.1 Establishing the Ethernet connections between the 980 GUI Manager and the 980 Protocol
Analyzer
This subsection describes how to make the physical Ethernet connections between the external 980 GUI Manager
and the 980 Protocol Analyzer.
To make the physical Ethernet connection when using the external 980 GUI Manager and connecting
through your corporate LAN:
This procedure is used when you using the external 980 GUI Manager and connecting to the 980 through your
corporate LAN network. This procedure is required to establish an IP session between the 980 Manager running
on the 980 Protocol Analyzer. This procedure assumes that you have assembled the 980 Protocol Analyzer, host
