5.You can either type the full path to the bit mapped file you wish to download or click on the “Browse” button. The browse button opens a standard MS-Windows “Open File” dialog box. You can then navigate to the desired file and open it.

6.If you selected a valid BMP file, its dimensions will be indicated in the Image Dimensions area as shown here.

7.You can choose to offset where the downloaded image will be displayed in the active video area. By default the image is drawn start in the top left corner. You can enter horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) offsets of the top left corner of the downloaded images relative to the top left corner of active video.

NOTE: The bit map download operation does not clear the current displayed test image. It will only overwrite the portion of active video that matches the size and offset of the downloaded image. The download operation will modify the color lookup table values. This may cause the color to change on other portions of the screen

8.An “OK” message will appear in the status message bar at bottom of the screen if everything is ready for the download to begin. The “Download” button will also be available (not grayed).

9.Click the “Download” button and wait for the image to download and display. Very large bitmap files can take several minutes to load. A message box showing the current download status will be open during the download. There is no way to stop the download process without closing the whole VGM application.
