Abstract
A video output supervisor includes a test region indicator for verifying that the commanded output to specific areas of a display is valid. Areas reserved displaying safety-critical data in the data frame to be displayed can be supervised for the presence and status of display indicators of the safety-critical data. The confidence of the supervision can be increased by measuring other display and frame parameters in conjunction with supervising the indicators of the safety-critical data.
