Chapter 1 About the VA‑1836

1.1 Features of the VA‑1836

Chapter 1 About the VA-1836This chapter explains the features of the VA-1836 and the names and functions of its parts.

1.1 Features of the VA-1836The VA-1836 is an MHL protocol analyzer. By allowing you to perform protocol analyses of MHL signals, it provides an essential capability for the development of MHL source devices. The VA‑1836 has the following features.

MHL signal analysis (ANALYZE) function •This function allows you to analyze the timing of MHL signals input from MHL devices, and to analyze packet contents. You can also check for differences between measured values and MHL standard values.

Receiver (monitor) mode function •This mode allows you to designate the VA-1836 as a receiver (monitor) and to use the VA-1836 to analyze the MHL signals of an MHL device.

Through mode function •The VA-1836 is equipped with dedicated through mode connectors. By making a through connection via the VA-1836 between a source device (an MHL-enabled smartphone, etc.) and a sink device (an MHL-enabled TV, etc.), you can use the VA-1836 to directly check the status of communication on the CBUS.

Generator mode function •This mode allows you to use the VA-1836 as a signal generator.

Emulator function •The VA‑1836 is supplied with several standard EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) files. An EDID is a data file that defines the basic configuration and capabilities of a monitor or other sink device. By modifying EDIDs, you can use the VA-1836 as a virtual monitor with the ability to emulate various monitor types.

Program function •This function allows you to program the data of a virtual monitor and call it up when needed. Use this function when you are using the emulator function to operate the VA-1836 as a virtual monitor. This function is especially convenient when combined with the group function, which allows you to pick up frequently used data. Combining these functions allows you to work more efficiently.

Log trigger function •This function allows you to log specified data when using the MHL signal ANALYZE function.

Line monitor function •This function allows you to monitor MHL input signals on the CBUS line and to display the results.

Intuitive operation •The user interface features intuitive operation with the mouse. You can also operate without the mouse, by using the keys and rotary switch on the front panel of the VA‑1836.

Equipped with 12-inch LCD panel and •built-in speakersYou can check 8-bit, 10-bit, and 12-bit MHL signals visually on the easy-to-read 12-inch LCD panel. The built-in speakers allow you to check linear PCM audio.

Supports USB flash memory •You can save acquired data, programs, configuration files, and so on to USB flash memory.

Chapter 7 Utilizing Setting Data Files

7.1 Overview of the Config Menu

Chapter 7 Utilizing Setting Data FilesThis chapter explains how to use the Config menu to utilize setting data files for the VA-1836. You can use the Config menu to handle the following two types of data files.

Configuration filesConfiguration files save VA-1836 settings. You can use the Device Config menu to load, save, and delete configuration files. Configuration files can be saved in the VA-1836 or in USB flash memory. Device capability data (EDID) filesOne type of configuration file is Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) files, which define the basic configuration and capabilities of monitors or other sink devices. EDIDs can be loaded and edited separately from configuration files. Several standard EDIDs containing sample data are provided with the VA-1836. You can also load an EDID that you have created yourself, allowing you to use the VA-1836 as a virtual monitor with the capabilities defined in the EDID.
