Test Sequence

Mode

Programming Mode

•Running a user defined test sequence. Each step in a test sequence combines one format and one test image. The operator can then go for- ward and backwards through the steps using a single knob. The 801G* can be programmed so that it automatically enters a test sequence mode on power-up. This mode of operation is suitable for a test position in a manufacturing environment where the same series of tests and adjustments need to be repeated on many iden- tical displays. There is less likelihood that an operator on the line will select the wrong for- mat or skip an important alignment procedure.

It is also possible to set the 801G* to continu- ously cycle through the steps in a test sequence.

Information on creating and running test se- quences is contained in the “Programming” chapter.

•Programming mode. Formats, the format list, custom images, the image list and test sequences can be created and edited using the built-in Graphics User Interface (GUI). In order to use the GUI, a display that is compatible with any stored format and has at least 640 active pix- els and 480 active lines needs to be connected to the 801G*. The contents of the format, cus- tom test image or test sequence are shown on the display. The 801G*’s knobs and buttons are used to select and modify the displayed pa- rameters. The current button functions are labeled at the bottom of the GUI screen. No other hardware, other than the display, needs to be connected to the 801GX.

Information on using the GUI editors is in the “Programming” chapter.

Switching operating modes

The “Programming” chapter contains information on switching between the operating modes.
