Learn Formats Function and Options Menu
Learn Formats Function
Reads back EDID format data from
a VESA® DDC-compliant display
connected to the generator's VGA output. A
list of standard VESA video formats
supported by the monitor is extracted from
the EDID data and compared against all of
the VESA formats in the generator's built-in library. A table is then built of all the matching
formats. This table can be viewed by pressing the Details menu button. This table of formats is
also used for the DDC Step function under the Test menu.
Details
Lists all of the matching VESA standard video formats from the last successful Learn Monitor
operation. The list is not modified if the operation fails. The +/_ buttons can be used to page
through the list if there are more than eight (8) learned formats. You cannot select the formats
using the menu buttons. However, you can go through all the formats using the DDC Step Test
function.
NOTE: It is possible that the display's EDID data will include non-VESA formats. These non-
standard formats will not be listed.
Options Menu
This menu is used for system level options.
Pressing the Clr Fmts button displays a confirmation request menu to clear all formats in
memory. Selecting “Yes” causes all video formats in factory default memory locations to be lost.
There is no way to abort or undo this operation. The LCD window will show "All Formats
Cleared" when the process is completed.
Pressing the ReloadFmts button restores all factory default formats to their original memory
locations. Any user formats in those locations will be lost. User formats saved in other memory
locations are unaffected. The LCD will display “Factory Formats Reloaded” when the process is
completed. Pressing the FORMAT button displays the FORMATS menu to list the restored
memory contents.
