Scope of this User Guide

This User Guide provides descriptive and procedural information on the 980 DP Video Generator module for
testing DP display devices.
Although you can operate the 980 DP Video Generator module through the "embedded GUI," most of the
examples used in the procedures in this User Guide are taken from the external standalone PC 980 GUI Manager.
The procedures are nearly identical between the embedded GUI running through the 980B/980R front panel
display and the external standalone PC application but the look and feel is slightly different.
There are separate User Guides for the other 980B/980R modules. The following is a list of the User Guides
available with the 980B/980R and its modules. These are available from the downloads and product web pages of
the Quantum Data website http://www.quantumdata.com/products/980.asp:
