Workflow for running the MHL Source Compliance Tests

The following is the high level workflow for running the MHL Source Compliance Tests.
1. Power up the 980 Protocol Analyzer. Refer to the procedures in
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.
3.2 Making the physical Ethernet connections
This subsection describes the physical connections required to run the MHL source compliance tests. You can
either run the tests through the embedded 980 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.
