measure the audio sample rate precisely and therefore measure audio jitter correctly. Functional test instruments
cannot support these tests correctly.
1.2

Scope of this User Guide

This User Guide provides descriptive and procedural information on the MHL compliance test options for testing
MHL sources and sinks. Although you can run the compliance tests through the 980's "embedded GUI," all the
examples used in the procedures in this document are taken from the external standalone PC 980 GUI Manager.
The procedures are identical between the embedded GUI running through the 980 front panel display and the
external standalone PC application but the look and feel is slightly different.

What options are available with the 980?

The 980 offers six options that you can purchase with the 980 Protocol Analyzer but only two of these pertain to
MHL: 1) Encrypted Link Analyzer mode for monitoring encrypted data between an HDMI source and sink device. 2)
HDMI Source Compliance tests in accordance with HDMI 1.4 CTS Sections 7.4 through 7.8. 3) EDID Compliance
test in accordance with Sections 8.2 and 8.5 of the HDMI 1.4 CTS. 4) HDMI Sink Compliance tests in accordance
with HDMI 1.4 CTS Sections 8.4 through 8.8. 5) MHL Source Compliance tests in accordance with MHL 1.0 CTS
Section 3. 6) MHL Sink Compliance tests in accordance with MHL 1.0 CTS Section 3. The MHL Sink Compliance
test suites require the Quantum Data 882E or 882EA instrument, release 2.25.0 which uses firmware
version 20.1887600.
You must have a license to use these optional features.
You can determine what options the 980 is provisioned with by looking at the label on the bottom of the 980 or by
accessing the Instrument Information screen on either the built-in or external GUI manager. Refer to the following
screens.
