4.28 Changing the TCG FPS Rate
The FPS rate of the TCG is changed by first putting the TCG into the "Preset" entry mode and then using the SET or
COUNT switch to cycle through the different FPS rates. This is performed as follows:
1. Set the DISPLAY switch to FPS.
2. Next, hold the MODE switch in the SET position for two seconds until the FPS rate starts flashing ON and OFF about
every 1/2 second.
3. Actuate and release either the SET switch or the COUNT (-)/(+) switch to advance to the next frame rate.
4. When the desired FPS rate is displayed, wait two seconds for the flashing to stop and the selected rate to be saved into
the EEPROM memory.
4.29 Manually Entering TCG Time or User Bit Preset Values
Time or User Bit preset values for the TCG are entered by first putting the TCG into the "Preset" entry mode and then
entering the desired time or user bit values using the SET and COUNT switches. This is performed as follows:
1. Set the DISPLAY switch to the desired TC or UB data you want to preset.
2. Next, hold the MODE switch in the SET position for two seconds until one or two characters on the LED display starts
flashing ON and OFF about every 1/2 second. When presetting time code, two of the characters flash at once, for example
both the "tens" and "ones" characters of the minutes flash together. For user bits, only one character flashes at a time.
3. If both the PRE1 and PRE2 LEDs are not illuminated, continue to hold the SET switch actuated until they both are. If
you release the switch when just PRE1 or PRE2 is illuminated the TCG time will be set to that preset value and it will
thereafter be displayed whenever both preset LEDs are ON until a new time has been read by the TCR.
4. With both the PRE1 and PRE2 LEDs on, release the SET switch, and then alternately actuate and release it again to
select a different digit to preset. Repeat this action until the digit you desire to preset is flashing. If no other action is taken
the flashing will stop after two seconds and the SET switch will again operate to start and stop the TCG.
5. When the desired digit(s) has been selected, release the SET switch and use the COUNT (+)/(-) switch to count the value
up or down. If no other action is taken the flashing will stop after two seconds and the Preset mode will stop.
4.30 Using The Time Code and User Bit Preset Memories
When the TRG-100 is powered up the time code and user bits are set to all zeros. The "Preset" memories allow prior
entered time or user bit values to be quickly recalled and entered into the TCG as starting values for the time code and/or
user bits.
For this purpose the TRG-100 has two "Preset" memories for the time code and two for the user bits. The memories are
named PRE1and PRE2 and use "EEPROM" type "chips" which retain their contents without needing any power, thus the
user entered preset values remain after the TRG-100 is powered off.
If the DISPLAY switch is set to TC then the PRE1 and PRE2 memories for the time code are used. If set to UB then the
user bit PRE1 and PRE2 memories are used.
The SET switch is used to select between the PRE1 and PRE2 memories and also to select a specific character to preset,
while the COUNT switch is used to change the selected characters value.
4.31 Selecting Between the PRE1 or PRE2 Preset Memory
1. Use the DISPLAY switch to select either TC or UB to preset.
2. Hold the MODE switch in the SET position for 1-second.
3. After 1-second either one or two characters will begin flashing; two characters if presetting TC, one character if
presetting UBs. Also, either the PRE1, PRE2, or both colon LEDs will be illuminated. If PRE1 is ON, then the displayed
value has been recalled from the PRE1 memory. If PRE2 is ON then its recalled from the PRE2 memory.
