FMTJ ForMaT Justify
Classification: Format editor control
Command Syntax: FMTJ
Query Syntax: None
Description: The FMTJ command corrects some types of timing errors for
the current data in the format buffer. The following errors are
corrected:
Pixel Rate errors 2071 and 2072
Video Memory Size error 2550
Horizontal Blanking errors 2140, 2141, 2150 and 2155
Horizontal Total errors 2090 and 2091
Horizontal Sync Pulse Width errors 2181 and 2201
Vertical Resolution error 2321
The justification routine tries to keep the format close to
your original specifications. However, the format should be
reviewed after it is justified to make sure it still meets your
timing requirements.
Other Required Cmds: The FMTU command instructs the generator to use the new
settings. The ALLU command updates hardware to the new
settings and redraws the test image. The FMTG? query can be
used to see if any errors remain.
Example:
F M T J
F M T U / / U p d a t e h a r d w a r e t o c u r r e n t
