FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

4 Standard measuring conditions
4.1 Standard environmental conditions
4.1.1 Temperature, humidity and pressure conditions
Standard environmental conditions shall be applied for the measurements of autostereoscopic
display devices.
The standard environmental conditions for the measurements of autostereoscopic display
devices are (25 ± 5) °C temperature, 45 % to 75 % relative humidity, and 86 kPa to 106 kPa
pressure.
4.1.2 Illumination conditions
Standard dark room conditions shall be applied.
In standard dark room conditions, the illuminance at any position on the screen (the display
device screen) is below 0,3 lx in all directions.
NOTE Illuminance is measured without the measured display or in conditions where the display is turned off.
4.2 Light measuring device
4.2.1 General
The LMD used for measurements of the displays shall be checked for the following criteria
and specified accordingly:
• aperture size (window function of LMD) (see 4.2.2);
• sensitivity of the measured quantity;
• errors caused by veiling glare and lens flare (i.e. stray light in optical system);
• timing of data-acquisition, low-pass filtering and aliasing-effects;
• linearity of detection and data-conversion;
• resolution and moiré in the use of two-dimensional LMD.
A point-measurement LMD, such as a spot luminance meter, or a two-dimensional LMD such
as a CCD area detector shall be used for these measurements. A conoscopic type LMD can
be used for some measurements. When using a two-dimensional LMD and/or a conoscopic
type LMD, they shall be calibrated, so that the measurement results correspond to those of
the point-measurement LMD. The specification of the LMD used shall be noted in the report
as in the example shown in Table 1.
NOTE 1 The point-measurement LMD measures the luminance and/or colour coordinate at each measurement
point on the screen. A two-dimensional LMD measures the map of luminance and/or colour coordinate over the
measurement area of the screen. A conoscopic type LMD measures the directional characteristics of luminance
and/or colour coordinate at each measurement point on the screen.
NOTE 2 A point-measurement LMD usually has higher sensitivity than a two-dimensional LMD. A two-dimensional
LMD measures the uniformity of the measuring area more easily than a point-measurement LMD.

4.2.2 Aperture size
The aperture size (entrance pupil, see CIE 69) of an LMD including point measurement and
two-dimensional type LMDs (smaller than the size of the object lens of the LMD) shall be
equal to or smaller than 8 mm. When a larger aperture LMD is used, the measurement results
shall be checked so that the results are equivalent to those of the smaller aperture LMD. The
aperture size shall be reported by the supplier (the manufacturer of the 3D display device) in
the relevant specification.
NOTE In the measurement of autostereoscopic displays, the aperture size of the LMD greatly affects the
measurement results. So the LMD aperture size is defined in this document. The aperture size similar to the size of
the pupil of an eye is ideal for the measurements (e.g. crosstalk), but smaller aperture decreases sensitivity. The
size of 8 mm is small enough for the measurement and large enough for the sensitivity. The exact value of the
aperture size of LMD used will be informed by the LMD supplier. The relation among the aperture size, measuring
area size and measuring distance is shown in Figure 1 and explained in 4.3. When a larger aperture LMD is used,
the measuring distance is increased as long as the measuring distance does not affect the measurement results by
changing the measuring distance.

4.3 Measuring setup
4.3.1 Designed viewing distance
A DVD shall be defined by the supplier in the relevant specification. The DVD is the distance
from which proper stereoscopic views are intended to be observed, and/or the characteristics
of an autostereoscopic display are measured accurately.
For the measurements, the designed viewing distance shall be applied as the measuring
distance. The measuring distance shall be fixed when items planned to be evaluated are

– 10 – 62629-22-1 © IEC:2013
measured. Only one designed viewing distance shall be defined and applied to an
autostereoscopic display device.
4.3.2 Measurement area
The LMD shall be set at a proper measurement area angle (measurement field angle, see
Figure 1) less than or equal to 2 degrees, and shall have a measurement area of at least
500 pixels whose diameter is less than 10 % of the screen height. This area corresponds to
including a circular measurement area of at least 26 lines in diameter when the screen has a
square pixel consisting of 3 subpixels. If the above conditions cannot be applied, the applied
measurement area shall include as many pixels as possible. The applied measuring
conditions shall be noted in the report.
NOTE Based on the information given by the supplier, such as number of views and lobe angle, the measurement
field angle, aperture angle and measuring distance are determined. The aperture angle is small so that the angular
luminance profile can be measured precisely. In general, the more the number of views increases, the smaller the
required aperture angle is. In theory, when a smaller aperture is applied, a smaller field angle is desirable. In
addition, some autostereoscopic displays are designed so that the screen produces different distribution of light
rays to improve 3D observation. When considering these points, the field angle is introduced. The range of
measuring distance is decided by the size of aperture and measurement field. The measuring distance and the field
angle are adjusted to achieve a viewing area greater than 500 pixels, whose diameter is less than 10 % of the
screen height, if it is difficult to set the field angle above.
4.3.3 Measuring layout
4.3.3.1 Centre point measurement

The measuring layout for a multi-point measurement is shown in Figure 3. When a multi-point
measurement is carried out using the two-dimensional LMD, the measuring layout shown in
Figure 2 shall be applied. In this case the measurement result shall be confirmed to be the

To measure viewing direction dependency, the characteristics at the centre of the screen are
measured from the vertical or horizontal viewing directions defined in each measurement
method or relevant specification as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6. Instead of moving the
LMD, the autostereoscopic display can be tilted vertically or turned horizontally to be
measured as shown in Figure 5 b) and Figure 6 b). The horizontal and vertical measuring

5.2 Lobe angle and lobe angle variation on screen
5.2.1 General
The purpose of this measurement is to measure lobe angle and lobe angle variation on screen.
NOTE 1 In general, autostereoscopic displays form the group of pixels corresponding to each lens/slit. The light
rays from each pixel group form a lobe. When the light rays go through the corresponding lens/slit, they form the
main lobe, or side lobes in other cases. On the boundary of the lobes, pseudostereoscopy or image breaking is
perceived. A wider lobe angle can reduce these phenomena.
NOTE 2 In this document, the term of “lobe” means the bundle of light rays emitted from each pixel group going
through the corresponding lens/slit. However, note that the term of “lobe” is sometimes used as a different meaning.

5.3 Luminance, screen luminance uniformity, and angular luminance variation
5.3.1 Luminance and screen luminance uniformity
5.3.1.1 General
The purpose of this measurement is to measure the luminance and luminance uniformity of
the screen. The measurement of screen luminance uniformity is related to luminance moiré
due to the structure of autostereoscopic displays. Low-frequency moiré can be observed as
screen non-uniformity. When luminance moiré occurs, luminance uniformity will be degraded.

FOREWORD
The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a world-wide organization for standardization
1)
comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to
promote international cooperation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic
fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt
with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations
liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the
two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters, prepared by technical committees on
which all the National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly as
possible, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.
They have the form of recommendations for international use published in the form of standards, technical
3)
reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
4)
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards in
exceptional circumstances, a technical committee may propose the publication of a
technical report of one of the following types:
type 1, when the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of an

International Standard, despite repeated efforts;
type 2, when the subject is still under technical development or where for any other

reason there is the future but not immediate possibility of an agreement on an
International Standard;
type 3, when a technical committee has collected data of a different kind from that

which is normally published as an International Standard, for example "state of the art".
Technical reports of types 1 and 2 are subject to review within three years of publication to
decide whether they can be transfomed into International Standards. Technical reports of
type 3 do not necessarily have to be reviewed until the data they provide are considered to
be no longer valid or useful.

INTRODUCTION
In the area of process control, especially in the area of telecontrol and SCADA systems,
there is an increasing demand for real-time data transmission. Inherent in this type of
application are requirements with respect to data integrity and guaranteed transmission
time.
The applicability of a particular type of communication network with its associated
protocols depends upon its ability to fulfil these requirements. This is a function of a
number of factors, including:
– bandwidth;
– traffic load (normal and avalanche conditions);
– transmission quality;
– coding and encryption schemes;
– computing power of communication front-ends and nodes.
Each candidate system should be evaluated in the light of all of these factors.
In particular, approaches to telecontrol data communication based on the OSI (open-
system interconnection) family of protocols (which were conceived originally for application
to inter-computer communication and not for telecontrol) should be examined very carefully
from this point of view.
IEC 1085 deals with the totality of telecommunications as applied to the administration and
operation of electric power systems. It does not go into detail on the specific needs of
telecontrol.
IEC 870-1-1 describes the general principles of the layout and the functions of telecontrol
systems. Clause 6 of that publication gives already some overviews on the transmission of
telecontrol data, but both the complexity of the data transmission systems, as well as their
numerous applications need a closer look. Due to this fact, a large number of different
publications dealing with standardization of telecontrol protocols will be published.
Therefore, it is necessary to give an overview in this report relating to the basic aspects of
telecontrol data transmission.

1 Scope and object
This technical report applies to telecontrol equipment and systems with coded bit serial
data transmission for monitoring and control of geographically widespread processes.
This report is intended as a brief tutorial on transmission techniques, equipment and
protocols in view of their use in telecontrol systems. It is thus intended as a guide to orient
those using the standards defined in the series of IEC 870-5 and IEC 870-6. More
precisely, it gives a frame of reference for evaluating solutions as well as defining and
describing the key technical terms. Terms that are defined in IEC 50(371) and in
IEC 870-1-3 are complemented by further definitions in clause 3 of this repo rt .
It further provides:
– descriptions of applicable basic communication technologies;
– basic rules as to how different system layers (see clause 3) can be used together
(i.e. which combinations of standards in different layers are technically coherent and
which are not).
It is not intended to recommend or impose solutions, this being the role of IEC 870-5 and
IEC 870-6.

4 Basic communication structures and protocol models
The basic classification of functions of a communication system follows that of the ISO
seven-layer OSI model. This model is for descriptive purposes and it is not required that a
given system be actually implemented in this way.
For a detailed description of this model and the functions of the different layers, the reader
is referred to the relevant ISO and CCITT documents (especially ISO 7498).
Description of the components of a transmission network
4.1
Figure 1 shows the general structure of a communication network. The different
components of the network have the following essential features.
Transmission network
The transmission network consists of transmission channels between stations and
nodes that may have packet-switching or circuit-switching facilities.
DCE (data circuit terminating equipment)
The DCE represents the network entrance point. The interface between the DCE that
usually belongs to the network and the DTE (data terminal equipment) is defined, for
example, by CCITT Recommendations V.11, V.24, V.28, X.21 etc.

870-1-4 © IEC:1994 – 23 –
These standards offer different options on the interface between DTE and DCE. This
interface may carry, in addition to the data stream, various supervisory and control
signals of the data traffic, such as information on signal element timing (clock
frequency), information on the channel quality, calling indicators, selections of
transmission frequencies, etc.
The DCE can be a modem or a multiplexer and is standardized in the CCITT:
– R series: low-speed telegraph modems and multiplexers e.g. R.35, R.36, R.37,
R.38A;
V series: asynchronous and synchronous modems e.g. V.22, V.26, V.27, V.29,

V.32;
– X series: interfaces to digital networks e.g. X.20, X.21.
DTE (data terminal equipment)
In telecontrol applications, this equipment is the telecontrol equipment which can be, for
example, an outstation (RTU), telecontrol equipment in a DCC (district control centre),
RCC (regional control centre) or MCC (main control centre).
4.2 OSI seven-layer model
In the OSI model, the functions of the DTE are divided into seven layers as shown in
figure 2 (this figure shows the standards applicable to each layer but does not give
functional profiles).
The different layers are introduced below. The descriptions present each layer very
succinctly and give the essential functions only. For complete and definitive information,
the reader is referred to ISO 7498.
(1) – concerns the physical, electrical, functional and procedural
Physical layer
characteristics to establish, maintain and disconnect the physical link. It manages the
transmission of bits.
(2) – concerns the reliable sending of blocks of data (frames) over a
Data link layer
physical link. It is concerned with:
– block coding;
– detection of transmission errors;
error recovery;

– controlling the access of several stations to a single physical link;
– data link addressing.
Network layer (3) – concerns the transmission of blocks of data (packets) into and
through a transmission network. It manages:

network addressing;
– virtual circuits;
– subdividing packets if required by the transmission network;
assuring that packets are delivered in sequence (when requested by an entity in

the transport layer);
– packet routing.

(4) – concerns providing the transparent, reliable and cost-effective
Transport layer
communication of messages between end users. It manages:
– end-to-end control to prevent loss or duplication of messages;
– flow control;
– end-to-end sequence control;
– addressing of transport service user;
– multiplexing transport connections;
– dissassembly and reassembly of messages into packets.
Layer 4 is designed to provide a standard interface to users of the transport service.
