  • System for generating text defined test patterns
    Patent number: 9723303
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system for generating video test pattern signals from definitions contained in a text-based definition file. The definition file allows the user to create generic definitions for test signals that can be interpreted to create test signals in a variety of formats, raster sizes, color spaces, sample structures, frame modes, and bit depths. A parametric generator uses one or more engines to then generate the desired test pattern from the definition file.
    Type: Grant

  • Range Sliders with Linked Auto-Updating Spans
    Publication number: 20080256489
    Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) is provided for use in a system, such as a video test and measurement instrument. The GUI provides a mechanism for a user to select one, or more, ranges of values. Embodiments of the GUI provide an ability to correlate ranges between a first sequence and second sequence, such that two ranges of values are related in some fashion.
