1. Connect TPA-P board at the transmitter end (TP2)
2. Make connections as shown in Fig 6
   
   
   Fig. 6
3. Transmit the half clock pattern and/or pseudo random pattern from the transmitter
4. Adjust the amplitude level at the transmitter end according to the selected (High or Low amplitude) test. In case there are no amplitude controls on the transmitter, the below set up using the Equivalent Source Board (ESB) as shown in Fig 6 can be used to generate the TMDS signal with the varying amount of jitter and amplitude to conduct testing
5. Run TDSDVI and ensure that the signal passes the respective mask. Now, TDSDVI asks you to connect the TPA-R signal output
6. Remove the TPA-P fixture and connect the cable at TP2. Connect TPA-R fixture at the end of the cable (TP3) as in Fig. 7
7. Acquire the signal through the oscilloscope and continue to use TDSDVI to get results

Jitter

1. Connect equipment as per the set up shown in Fig. 7
2. Select the jitter measurement in TDSDVI
3. Run the application. TDSDVI provides the peak-to-peak jitter and a Pass or a Fail after comparing the result with the DDWG specification

Skew

Inter-pair skew:

1. Connect equipment as in Fig. 7
2. Connect two single ended probes to the individual cable pairs of the same pair
3. Select the test in TDSDVI and press run button
4. TDSDVI provides the skew value and a Pass or a Fail after comparing the result with the DDWG specification

Intra-pair skew:

1. Connect equipment as in Fig. 7
2. Connect two single ended probes to the different polarities of different cable pairs
3. Select the test in TDSDVI and press run button
4. TDSDVI provides the skew value and a Pass or a Fail after comparing the result with the DDWG specification
