Using Frame Picture Generator
Downloading a frame
picture
fi
le and outputting
the picture
A frame picture
fi
le created by Frame Picture Generator is output as a picture by
downloading to the TG8000. Procedures for downloading images can be found
in the TG8000 user manual.
NOTE.
Make sure to download a frame picture
fi
le to a folder for a generator
module that can output the correct video format for the frame picture. If the
video format for the frame picture
fi
le is different from the video format for the
generator module, the picture is not output correctly.
Flash memory capacity.
View the total amount of
fl
ash memory that is installed
in the mainframe and view the amount of free (available) memory from the
UTILITY > FLASH MEMORY menu. There are approximately 80 MB total of
fl
ash memory available. The
fl
ash memory is used by the test signal
fi
les that you
install in the mainframe. When the amount of available memory is low, you may
need to delete test signals from memory before you can install new test signals.
NOTE.
The
fl
ash memory of the TG8000 is shared among system
fi
les, test signal
fi
les, and frame picture
fi
les. Therefore, if you use the whole free memory space for
frame pictures, system
fi
les may not be installed when upgrading the instrument,
or additional test signals may not be installed.
If you have more pictures to be output, you can output them by saving another
folder and then assigning it to the front-panel button.
NOTE.
See the TG8000 Multiformat Test Signal Generator User Manual for
procedures for downloading picture
fi
les from a PC to the TG8000.
