1. Toshiba Infrared (IR) Test Apparatus Project Nurfazlina Kamaruddin Ahmad Nazri Fadzal Wan Othman Zamir Izam

2. Introduction  Toshiba created a new model HDTV  Toshiba H93 Digital Integrated TV  Special feature:  uses infrared blaster outputs

3. Project Goals  To verify that the TV is outputting the correct IR signals.  Test the signal output from the IR blaster using a C++ base program  Deliver lab test gear package for Toshiba with software and operational manual

4. Signal Flow  Remote control sends signal to TV  TV sends square wave signal to other devices  For this project, we are only interested in the signal from TV to other devices

5. G-LINK

6. TheaterNet

7. Approach  Set up connection from TV to CPU through IR cable  Design a program using C++ language that has two modes: - Creating database - Testing mode

9. Approach (cont.)  Creating Database:  for each button on TV remote control, software will sample the signal output by TV  samples will be stored in a database

10. Approach (cont.)  Testing mode:  operator will select a sequence of signals from database  operator will drive TV to send signals to the software  software will output the pass/fail results

11. Input Output (I/O) Board  NI PCI-6533 (DIO-32HS) High-Speed Pattern I/O and Handshaking  A data acquisition board that have input and output function  Convert electric signal into binary data

12. System Summary Diagram Toshiba model H93 Test System - Computer IR cable Operator NI PCI-6533

13. Progress  Acquired TV and IR cable  Made draft specifications  Scheduled to meet with client every two weeks  Website has been started

14. What We are Going to Do  Turn in specifications and schedule to sponsor  Get C++ software  More research on infrared pulse signal  Add more updates in our website  Sketch schematic layout of the software
