Madrigal Imaging MP-8, MP-9, MP-9 74

OPERATION

When ACON (full) is selected, ACON converges the red and blue to the green at all 45 convergence zones. As each zone is converged, surrounding zones are also adjusted by ACON’s proprietary interpolation software. This software provides fast, accurate convergence adjustment of poorly converged images.

During automatic convergence you will notice a small red, green, or blue square briefly displayed at each zone location.

It is at that time that ACON is analyzing and adjusting the convergence. Full automatic convergence takes approximately three minutes to complete.

ACON (touchup) also converges at all 45 convergence zones. It is different than ACON (full) in that as each zone is converged, surrounding zones are not affected. It is faster than full auto-convergence and provides optimal convergence alignment when only minor adjustment is required.

When ACON (center only) is selected, the full red and blue image positions are adjusted based on the misconvergence at the center of the display.

Red and/or blue images are poorly convergerged over the entire screen.

Select option 1, ACON (full).

The image is slightly mis-converged.

Select option 2, ACON (touchup).

Complete red and/or blue images have shifted from the green image

Select option 3, ACON (center only).

When convergence is complete, an Exit dialog box is displayed with the cursor bar positioned on “Save.” To save the new convergence settings, press ENTER , EXIT or RECALL . To discard the changes, move the cursor bar to “No Save” then press ENTER , EXIT or RECALL .

Error Messages

If ACON encounters a problem which it cannot resolve, processing halts and an error message is displayed. If you encounter an error message, refer to section 4.3, Troubleshooting for assistance. If you are unsure how

to resolve the problem, contact your dealer. To return to the previous convergence settings, press ENTER or EXIT with the cursor bar positioned on “No Save”; otherwise, move the cursor bar to “Save” then press ENTER or EXIT .
