Checker
Pattern Description: Alternating picture areas of black and white in a checkerboard pattern.
Pattern Usage: Checks the regulation of CRT video drive power supply circuits. The pattern produces abrupt, maximum changes in CRT video drive current. Ideally, this should not cause the voltage supplied to the video drive circuits to change (good voltage regulation). If the power supply does not have good regulation, it will cause softening or ringing of the vertical line pattern transitions.
