Using the Built-In Editors
You can program many aspects 801G*’s operation
using the built-in Graphics User Interface (GUI). You
program the 801G* by editing different file struc-
tures in the unit. The current version of 801G* firm-
ware supports five (5) GUI editors as follows:
• A Format Editor for creating and modifying
test signal set-ups.
• A Format Knob Directory Editor for modify-
ing the list of formats that are selected with
the “Formats” knob.
• An Image Knob Directory Editor for modify-
ing the list of images that are selected with
the “Images” knob.
• A Custom Image Editor for creating and modi-
fying your own test patterns
• A Sequence Editor allows you to define a se-
quence of formats and images that can be se-
lected with a single turn of a knob.
• An Sequence Knob Directory Editor for modi-
fying the list of sequences that can selected in
the sequence mode of operation.
You need a suitable display connected to 801G*’s
test signal outputs in order to use the editors. First,
the display must be compatible with at least one of
the signal formats that are already stored in the 801G*.
Also, both the format and the display must support
a minimum resolution of 640 pixels horizontally by
480 lines vertically. With all of the formats that we
pre-program into the 801G*, you should be able to
find one that is compatible with a display you al-
ready have. If none of the stored formats will work
with the display you wish to use, you will need to
program a suitable format using the 801G*’s com-
munications ports.
To program the 801G* using the GUI, you first con-
nect your display and find a compatible format. You
should then select the “Format” test image. The image
