GenOps Test Image
Front panel button combinations are used to select the generator's optional
operating modes and special functions. Some are only activated at power up
while others are activated once the generator is running. The built-in GenOps
test image shows the current status of all options. The upper portion of the image
lists the modes that can only be changed on power up and the lower portion lists
functions that are selected once the generator is in use. The left hand columns
list the names of the modes or special functions. The center columns list the
required button combinations and the right hand columns indicate the current
status of the mode or function. All of the special modes and functions are described on the following pages.

Power up Modes
This section describes special operating modes that can only be selected when
the generator is first powered up. The indicated buttons are held down and then
the unit is powered up. Release the buttons when the LCD displays a message
identifying the selected mode.
Some operating modes will be retained when the unit is turned off and then
powered back on. The only way to deactivate one of these stored modes is to
select an alternate mode, remove all modes, or initialize with factory defaults.

Use Old Format Names
The built-in library of video format
names has been updated in the
current firmware. Many formats found
in older firmware are renamed to
more closely match nomenclatures
used in the display industry or in the
appropriate standards. You can use
the new names by default or set the
firmware to use the names used by
older firmware.
The use of the older format names is
activated by holding down the indicated button on power up. The setting
will be retained when the unit is
turned off and back on.

STEP R G B ACS DCS DSS ON
CAUTIONS:
1) Switching to using older names will
delete all user defined video formats
currently stored in the generator.
2) The only way to restore the use of
the new format names is to fully reinitialize the generator. This will
delete

them back to the generator.
