Video Generator Manager (VGM)

Quantum Data’s VGM software package is supplied with this unit. It is the primary method of program- ming custom video formats and test images in the Model 822S video generator. It can also be used to operate the unit. The current version of VGM software is available to run under MS-Windows 95/98/NT. The current version only supports communication with the 822S via a serial port connection. The VGM software includes a help file that explains how to use the sofware. It also includes documentation on the command language used by the generator.

Software Developers Kit (SDK) for Windows

This Software Developer's Kit (SDK) consists of a DLL and library for writing custom windows 95/98/ NT programs that communicate with all Model 801, 802 and 822 series generators. This SDK was designed for use with Microsoft's Visual C++ version 6.0. It is not normally supplied with the generator. The latest version of the kit is available for download from our Website.
