System And Method For Packetizing Image Data For Serial Transmission

A system for packetizing image data for serial transmission from a test and measurement device to a device under test, comprising:

• a software element configured to:
• receive a bitmap image file comprising R, G and B pixel data;
• receive information relating to display and timing information associated with a device under test, a vertical synchronization signal, and at least one horizontal synchronization signal;
• packetize the vertical synchronization signal;
• wait a period of time before packetizing the horizontal synchronization signal;
• and
• packetize the R, G, and B pixel data associated with the bitmap image file to form a parallel packet stream.

A method for packetizing image data for serial transmission, comprising:

• receiving a bitmap image file;
• receiving information relating to display and timing parameters;
• receiving a vertical synchronization signal;
• packetizing the vertical synchronization signal;
• generating a wait period prior to receipt of a horizontal synchronization signal;
• packetizing the horizontal synchronization signal;
• packetizing R, G, and B pixel data associated with the bitmap image file to form a parallel packet stream;
• serializing the parallel packet stream to form a serial packet stream;
• and
• transferring the serial packet stream to a device under test.
