When the Page A is selected, press the button to generate
The Gray scale pattern. There are two (8-step and 16-step)
Greyscales. Press once to get 8-step Greyscale patterns;
press twice to get 16-step. When the Page B is selected
press the button to generate the Checkerboard pattern.
LED illuminates when either one of the pattern is activated.
When the Page A is selected, press the button to generate
the Color Difference patterns.Press once to get R-Y pattern,
press twice to get B-Y pattern. When the Page B is selected,
press the button to genertae the Center Cross pattern.
LED illuminates when either one of the patterns is activated.
When the Page A is selected, press the button to generate
the Color Bar pattern. When the Page B is selected, press
the button to generate the Crosshatch pattern. There are
two types of Crosshatch. Press the button once shows
original Crosshatch.
Press again adds the dots to the Crosshatch. LED illuminates
when either one of the pattern is activated.
Press either AVCR or BVCR to generate the White Moving
Rectangle moving from left to right at the button of the screen.
There are 4 different moving speed to choose from.
Press the button repeatedly will vary the speed of the rectangle.
When the Page A is selected, press the button to generate
