After a channel plan, and limit plan (See Help section on CONFIGURE MEASURE - LIMIT SETS, for more information about limit sets.) has been selected, press the START softkey and the VIDEO CHANNELS - AUTOTEST sequentially measures the signal performance of all assigned channels in the VIDEO CHANNELS - AUTOTEST configuration.

On the VIDEO CHANNELS - AUTOTEST screen, a horizontal progress bar shows how much of the test is complete. The current item being tested is indicated on a text line directly below this bar. (NOTE: The Help system on this meter is disabled during all tests while they are in progress.)

A list of out-of-range channels is updated on the screen as the test proceeds. (NOTE: When the selected limit set is "off", all tested channels appear on this list and no pass/fail information is displayed.)

To stop the AutoTest process at any time, press the STOP softkey. A confirmation dialog box then appears with options of canceling or continuing the process.

Following test completion, the VIDEO CHANNELS - AUTOTEST SUMMARY screen displays the overall Pass/Fail test result and (when a test fails) a listing of the channels that are out of range.

Upon test completion, the VIDEO AUTOTEST results screen displays an overall Pass/Fail result and the Pass/Fail result of each channel tested.
