Generating pseudo-random noise from your device
This section explains how to implement pseudo-random noise is your own device.
Implementing pseudo-random noise from your device
The analyzer can test and analyze pixel data received from an HDMI/DVI source. To
accomplish this, a pseudo-random noise pattern is used that provides a sequence of
highly dynamic pixel values.
To maximize your ability to analyze pixel data generated by set-top boxes, you must be
able to generate pseudo-random noise. To facilitate this, you can use the lfsr.h and lfsl.cpp
source code files from
http://www.quantumdata.com/support/resources/pr_noise/QDI-BCM_PseudoNoise.ZIP,
which enable you to generate QDI-BCM pseudo-random noise from your device.
Once implemented, you can verify that the code is implemented correctly by using the
Dump10K() function to write the first 10,000 pixel values to a file. This result should match
the contents of the PN_31_24.txt reference file included in
http://www.quantumdata.com/support/resources/pr_noise/QDI-BCM_PseudoNoise.ZIP.
lfsr.h
The following source code is provided for the lfdr.h file.
// LFSR.h: interface for the CLFSR class.
