PROCEDURES AND
. . . . . . . . .
PREREQUISITES
This chapter provides detailed operating procedures for many of Quadra’s most
frequently used functions. Please note the following recommendations:
•
Each procedure assumes that your system is properly connected,
configured, and that a “control” method has been established between
your PC (or controlling device) and Quadra. In Chapter 2, refer to the
“
System Control Setup ” section for instructions.
•
Ensure that you have a variety of input sources from which to choose.
This will allow you to learn Quadra’s capabilities to the fullest extend.
•
Ensure that you have either an electronic or printed copy of Chapter 4,
“
Command Line Interface ” handy for reference.
•
Each procedure recommends that you use Quadra’s “Help” command
to display the available variables, and also recommends that you
“query” the current state of the command prior to entering new
parameters. These are good Quadra habits to develop.
•
For reference, each procedure includes a hyperlink to the command’s
description in Chapter 4.
•
Note that the “short forms” of all commands are used in this chapter,
as displayed by the Capital Letters in each command name. For
example, instead of typing
OutPutENable
, simply type
OPEN

The Quadra output should be set to match the characteristics of your display
device. This can be accomplished loading the values manually from entries
stored in the
Factory Timing List .”, or automatically using information
provided electronically from your display (EDID). The latter is supported only
for display devices connected to the digital (DVI) output, and only for display
devices that support EDID.
This section provides instructions for using the “ OutPutREFerence ” and
OutPutTiMingLOAD commands.
The OutPutREFerence command is used to select between the manual and
automatic modes for setting the output timing parameters.
