Using Frame Picture Generator
Using the Frame Picture Generator menus
The Menu bar displays the names of the fi ve pull-down menus: File, Build,
Settings, Window, and Help. This section describes the function of each selection
in these menus.
File menu
The File menu contains commands for managing fi le operations and for exiting
the Frame Picture Generator application. The following table describes each
of the File menu commands.
Table 5: Frame Picture Generator File menu commands
Command Function
Open Opens a bitmap fi le. When you select a bitmap fi le, the image is
displayed in the BMP View window.
Save Frame Bmp As Saves the frame bitmap image displayed in the FrameBMP
View window as a bitmap
fi le.
Save Pic Bmp As Saves the frame picture image displayed in the PicBMP View
window as a bitmap
fi le.
Exit Exits the Frame Picture Generator application.
Build menu The Build menu contains commands that create a frame bitmap fi le or frame
picture fi le and convert a frame picture fi le to a bitmap fi le. The following table
describes each of the Build menu commands.
Table 6: Frame Picture File Build menu commands
Command Function
Build Frame Bmp Converts the bitmap image displayed in the BMP View window
to the bitmap
fi le with the speci fi ed video format size.
Build Pic File Converts the frame bitmap fi le displayed in the FrameBMP View
window to the frame picture
fi le (.pic) that can be used by the
TG8000.
Since the AVG7 module outputs a signal using the 2-time over
sampling technique, one pixel of a bitmap image corresponds
to two samples of the signal. Therefore, when creating a frame
picture
fi le for the AVG7 module, the application uses each pixel
of a bitmap image twice.
Build Pic Bmp Converts the selected frame picture fi le (.pic) to the bitmap
fi le and displays its image in the PicBMP View window. Note
that this command cannot reproduce the original bitmap fi le
completely because the data of the frame picture fi le is changed
when it is converted from the bitmap fi le. This command is useful
when you want to check any frame picture images on the PC.
