Using the command/response tables

The command/response tables on the next page list valid command ASCII codes,
the scan converter’s responses to the host, and a description of the command’s
function or the results of executing the command.

The ASCII to HEX conversion table below is for use with the
command/response tables.

ASCII to HEX  Conversion Table

The command/response tables use symbols (defined below) to represent variables.

Symbol definitions

=

CR/LF (carriage return/line feed) (hex 0D 0A)

   =   CR (carriage return)

=

Space

Esc

=

Escape key

X1

=

Horizontal and vertical frequencies (listed to two decimal places,

i.e. xx.xx)

Signal out of range = xx:xx

X2

=

0 = Off, 1 = On

X4

=

Video input signal type (0 or 1)

0 = RGB
1 = YUV

X5

=

Input (1 or 2)

1 = Input 1
2 = Input 2

X9

=

Input attenuation (0 through 64)

X10

=

Picture adjustment range.  

See the note below.

X11

=

Filter settings (0 through 7)

X12

The default value for horizontal and vertical size is 0512.  The default
values for the horizontal and vertical shift are 2048 and 1024, respectively.
The actual minimum and maximum values will vary and are based on the
incoming scan rate.
