VTOT

Vertical TOTal lines per frame

Classification:

Format parameter setting

Command Syntax:

VTOT <lines>

Limits:

<lines> must be an odd number when SCAN = 2

 

min = 2

 

max

 

801GC-ISA = 4096 @ SCAN=1; 4097 @ SCAN=2

 

801GF-ISA = 4096 @ SCAN=1; 8191 @ SCAN=2

 

801GP = 2048

 

801GC, GX = 4096 @ SCAN=1; 4097 @ SCAN=2

 

801GF = 4096 @ SCAN=1; 8191 @ SCAN=2

Query Syntax:

VTOT?

Query Response:

<lines>

Description:

The VTOT command establishes the total number of lines per

 

frame. When interlacing (SCAN=2), VTOT must be odd. The

 

VTOT? query returns the current setting of VTOT.

 

The frame or picture refresh rate is equal to the quotient of

 

HRAT divided by VTOT.

 

The field or vertical rate is equal to the frame rate when SCAN

 

= 1 (non-interlaced operation).

 

The field or vertical rate is equal to twice the frame rate when

 

SCAN = 2 (non-interlaced operation).

 

 

 

 

Note – The current version of the firmware does not allow you

 

to directly enter a specific field or frame rate when setting up

 

a format. If your test specifications call for a specific field,

 

frame or vertical refresh rate, enter suitable values for HRAT,

 

SCAN and VTOT to give you the desired rate.

 

Other Required Cmds: The FMTU command instructs the generator to use the new setting. The ALLU command updates hardware to the new setting and redraws the test image.
