Scope of this User Guide

This User Guide documents the operation of both versions (the 980 225MHz ―Gen 2‖ and the 980 297MHz ―Gen
3‖) of 980 Protocol Analyzer through the standalone PC application, i.e. the 980 Manager. In some cases there are
functions of the embedded 980 GUI Manager that will be covered in detail as well: These include: 1) Provisioning
the IP address of the 980. 2) Viewing the incoming video content from a source device. 3) Viewing the incoming
HDMI video/audio metadata, protocol data and DDC transactions in real time. There is a Quick Start Guide that
provides complete instructions for operation of the 980 Protocol Analyzer through the 980's built-in color touch
display.
This User Guide does not include description or procedural information for any of the compliance test options
available with the 980 Protocol Analyzer. Procedures for running the HDMI source and sink compliance tests are
covered in separate User Guides for HDMI compliance testing.
