FMTJ

ForMaT Justify

Classification:

Format editor control

Command Syntax:

FMTJ

Query Syntax:

None

Description:

The FMTJ command corrects some types of timing errors for

 

the current data in the format buffer. The following errors are

 

corrected:

 

Pixel Rate errors 2071 and 2072

 

Video Memory Size error 2550

 

Horizontal Blanking errors 2140, 2141, 2150 and 2155

 

Horizontal Total errors 2090 and 2091

 

Horizontal Sync Pulse Width errors 2181 and 2201

 

Vertical Resolution error 2321

 

The justification routine tries to keep the format close to

 

your original specifications. However, the format should be

 

reviewed after it is justified to make sure it still meets your

 

timing requirements.

Other Required Cmds: The FMTU command instructs the generator to use the new settings. The ALLU command updates hardware to the new settings and redraws the test image. The FMTG? query can be

 

used to see if any errors remain.

Example:

F M T J

 

F M T U / / U p d a t e h a r d w a r e t o c u r r e n t

 

/ / b u f f e r c o n t e n t s
