Learn Formats Function and Options Menu

Learn Formats Function

Reads back EDID format data from a VESA® DDC-compliant display connected to the generator's VGA output. A list of standard VESA video formats supported by the monitor is extracted from the EDID data and compared against all of

the VESA formats in the generator's built-in library. A table is then built of all the matching formats. This table can be viewed by pressing the Details menu button. This table of formats is also used for the DDC Step function under the Test menu.

Details

Lists all of the matching VESA standard video formats from the last successful Learn Monitor operation. The list is not modified if the operation fails. The +/_ buttons can be used to page through the list if there are more than eight (8) learned formats. You cannot select the formats using the menu buttons. However, you can go through all the formats using the DDC Step Test function.

NOTE: It is possible that the display's EDID data will include non-VESA formats. These non- standard formats will not be listed.

Clears all current video formats

Resets all video formats to factory defaults

Pressing the Clr Fmts button displays a confirmation request menu to clear all formats in memory. Selecting “Yes” causes all video formats in factory default memory locations to be lost. There is no way to abort or undo this operation. The LCD window will show "All Formats Cleared" when the process is completed.

Pressing the ReloadFmts button restores all factory default formats to their original memory locations. Any user formats in those locations will be lost. User formats saved in other memory locations are unaffected. The LCD will display “Factory Formats Reloaded” when the process is completed. Pressing the FORMAT button displays the FORMATS menu to list the restored memory contents.
