After you have loaded the video format you
wish to use, hold down one of the two keys
indicated in the figure. Press the remaining key (repeatedly if necessary) to establish the desired state.
Once the format is in the desired state,
let go of both keys. If one (or more) primary gates are inadvertently shut off by
this procedure, you can press and release
extinguished primaries, one at a time, to
turn them back on. If you get an error,
rotate the format knob to get things back
to normal.

Special Power-up Modes
Overview
You can change how your video generator operates by holding down certain front panel button combinations for several seconds during power up
and then releasing the buttons. Some modes only apply during the current
operating session while others are maintained when the power is cycled.
The only way to reset the maintained settings is to either perform a Default
Reset or a Memory Re-initialization on power up.

CAUTION: This setting will

can then temporarily toggle them to

Sequence Mode Operation
The generator must be programmed to power-up in the sequence mode. This is
done by selecting any sequence mode in the sequence editor. The only way to
disable the sequence mode is to deselect the mode with the sequence editor.
Enabling the on-screen editors on power-up temporarily overrides sequence mode
operation.

Using a Computer for Control and Programming
Video Generator Manager (VGM)
The VGM software package provides a graphical user interface that allows
you to operate and program our stand alone, ISA card and PCI card Model
801 Series video generators. The current versions of the software run on
computers using Microsoft® Windows® 95/98/NT. The software also allows
you to save copies of custom formats, images and sequences on the
computer's disk drive. These files can then be uploaded into other Model
801 generators. The included custom image editor provides a simple
WYSIWYG interface that allows you to quickly setup custom test images.
The VGM package includes an extensive "Help" section that covers its operation as well as documentation of the commands and queries supported
by the generators.
A copy of the VGM software is included with each unit sold. The software
is also available as free download from the Tech Support area of our Web
site at www.quantumdata.com.
Smart Testing And Repair (STAR) Package
The STAR software package allows you set up and document test procedures for both DDC and non-DDC compliant monitors. The software runs
on computers using MS-Windows 95/98/NT. Please contact your Quantum
Data sales representative for more information.
Archiver Utility
The Archiver utility provides a simple text based interface that allows you
to communicate with our stand alone, ISA card and PCI card Model 801
Series video generators. The software runs as an MS-DOS application. It
includes a simple terminal function for sending commands and queries to
the generator.
The Archiver utility is also used to update the firmware on more recent vintage Model 801 Series generators that have the proper Flash EPROMs installed. The software allows you to backup any user created data to disk
prior to performing the update. The backed up files can then be updated
and uploaded back to the generator after the firmware update.
The Archiver software is available as free download from the Tech Support
area of our Web site at www.quantumdata.com.
