Displaying images

Use the following procedures to view primary images. Once you have selected an image you can modify the image options if necessary.

To select an image:

1. Identify the type of display (CRT or FPD) and the images that are used for testing this type of display (see the table below).

2. Press the Content key. A list of images appears on the generator’s display as shown below. Press the + and - keys to see all of the images.

The list of images that appear when you press the Content key will be the images in the Image folder of the media storage location that you have set the image path parameter to using the Browse mode or the command line (IMGP parameter).

3. Choose an image by pressing the adjacent soft key.

The table below provides a summary of analog CRT display characteristics and the images used to evaluate them. For details on the images and display attributes, see Appendix B, “Image Reference” of the User's Guide.
