Using the Settings and Options keys

The Options key enables you to view or set basic options for the selected item. For items with multiple pages of options, press the Options key again to view additional pages. Typically, options are attributes that are either enabled or disabled. For example, the screen below shows the options for a format. On this screen, the asterisk (*) next to DSS means that DSS is selected, the + next to SyncOnG means that this option is enabled, and the - signs next to Pedestal, SyncOnR, and SyncOnB mean that these options are disabled. If you press the soft key adjacent to SyncOnR, the - will change to a +, indicating the option is now enabled.

The Settings key enables you to view or set a parameter to a value. For example, the screen below shows the settings for the video signal of a format. To change the value of the XVSI, AVSI, or DVSI setting, press the soft keys next to the arrows on the bottom row of the generator’s display until the blinking cursor is on the value you want to change. Increment the value up or down by pressing the + and - keys.
