Quantum Data 801GC, 801GF, 801GX manual Programming

meric parameter is selected, an underscore cursor is placed below a digit in the number. The “Cursor” buttons move the digit cursor and the bottom knob changes the selected digit.

In many cases, entering a new value of one param- eter will affect the values of other parameters as well. The editor automaticall updates all related parameters when you enter a new value.

The upper left corner shows the name and memory location number of the selected format. When you first use the editor, this information will be for for- mat that is being used to drive the display. You select the format you wish to edit by first selecting location number parameter. Rotating the bottom knob will take you through all of the formats stored in teh 801G*. You create new formats by editing an existing format and saving your work using a new name and location.

❖The location number is only used by the format editor. The format knob directory and test se- quences all use just the format name when se- lecting formats from memory.

The unit of measure used for timing entries is also shown in the upper left corner. You have two choices for the units of measure. You can enter in units of real “Time” (∝ Sec and mSec) or in “Machine” units (pixels and lines). You should use machine units for precise control of your formats. The 801G* inter- nally rounds off real time entries to match the near- est machine unit of time. A single pixel period is the basic unit of measure for all horizontal timing parameters. All horizontal real time entries will be rounded to an integer multiple of the pixel clock period. A single horizontal period is the basic unit of measure for all vertical timing parameters. All vertical real time entries will be rounded to an in- teger multiple of the horizontal period. You can update your real time entries to their actual rounded values by having the calculate function on and se- lecting machine units of measure.
