FMTU

ForMaT Use

Classification:

Format memory management

Command Syntax:

FMTU

Query Syntax:

FMTU?

Query Response: <location> or 0

Description:

The FMTU command first checks the current contents of the

 

format buffer for errors. If no errors are found, it reconfigures

 

the signal generating hardware in accordance with the contents.

 

It does not redraw the previously displayed test image. In some

 

cases this may distort the old image.

 

The FMTU? query returns either a format memory location

 

<location> or zero. If the signal format currently being output

 

by the signal generating hardware matches that originally loaded

 

(using the FMTL command) or read (using the FMTR command)

 

from a format memory location, then the matching format memory

 

location <location> is returned. Otherwise, if the format contents

 

have been used to update the signal generating hardware since

 

either an FMTR or FMTL command has been issued, then FMTU?

 

query returns zero.

Other Required Cmds:

None
