(To use S-Video, make sure to put the generator into analog friendly
mode -- step 2 below)
(For North American TVs you will want to select the NTSC format.)
The steps below are from page 36 of the User Guide, available at

To test analog composite video SDTV:
- Use a standard coax cable to connect the TV BNC connector on the
generator with the display under test.
Or, use an S-video cable to connect the SVIDEO connector on the
generator with the S-Video input on the display under test.
- (Important) Place the generator in Analog Friendly mode by holding
down the R and B keys while starting the generator (see “Special
operating modes” on page 18).
The Analog Friendly mode ensures that the generator will output an
analog signal.
- Determine which composite television standard you need, such as NTSC
or PAL, and then select the formats compatible with the standard.
Typically, you would test all the formats in the family of formats for
a standard.
- Determine the images to test. For analog CRTs you typically want to
select images to test for geometry, focusing, photometry, resolution,
cross talk, EMI, and regulation characteristics. For more details on
what images test these specific display attributes, see “Selecting
images” on page 28 or Appendix B, “Image Reference.”
To verify the test set-up:
- Using the Format knob, select the first NTSC or PAL format.
Alternatively, you can load the format with the following commands:
FMTL format_name
FMTU
- Using the Image knob, select a suitable image such as SMPTEBar.
Verify that the generator is sending a valid signal to the display and
that the display is presenting it.
Alternatively, you can load the image with the following commands:
IMGL SMPTEBar
IMGU
