DDC Options

The options within this section are related to the Display Data Channel features supported by the AdderView CATx. DDC is an industry standard format that allows computer systems to be informed of the capabilities of the video monitor connected to them.

DDC Source

Settings: AUTO, LOCAL, DEFAULT

Determines which user port monitor should be interrogated to discover its capabilities. AUTO begins with the local user port and if it fails, it uses a set of default values. The LOCAL setting forces the unit to interrogate only the local monitor and DEFAULT uses only the pre-programmed settings.

DDC Refresh

Settings: AT START, DISABLED

AT START sets the AdderView CATx to read DDC information from the selected source at power up. When DISABLED, no new DDC data is sought and existing information is used. When viewing this menu, press F8 to discover DDC information from the chosen source immediately.

Power Control

The options within this section are concerned with the operation of the POWER CONTROL port when used to command optional system power control units.

Baud Rate

Settings: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200

Configures the communication speed of the POWER CONTROL port and must match the speed used by the connected power switch(es). Note: The PSU- 8MASTER and PSU-8SLAVE power switches supplied by Adder require a setting of 9600.

Format

Settings: NONE.8.1, ODD.8.1, EVEN.8.1, NONE.8.2, NONE.7.2, ODD.7.2, EVEN.7.2

Configures the data format used by the serial port and must match the format used by the connected power switch(es). The NONE/ODD/EVEN portion relates to the parity checking; the 7/8 value is the size of the data byte and the 1/2 value determines the stop bit(s) used after each data byte.
