6.5 Adapting the monitor using Force Mode

NOTICE

Force Mode is a service tool

Force Mode should only be used by service personnel to determine an unknown timing

and implement it in the monitor.

Various factory-set timings are saved in the monitor. As soon as a video signal is con-

nected, an appropriate timing is sought. "Auto In Process" is displayed during this phase.

These timings are compatible with the standard video signals provided by current graphics

cards.

If no image or only an unclear image is displayed on the monitor, the signal is outside the

standard supported range. Such signals are common with older medical equipment. A tim-

ing of this sort can be set using the Force Mode function.

In many cases, a signal outside the standard range is displayed correctly without having to

use Force Mode. This is possible because a large number of known timings are saved in the

monitor.

Scanning with interlaced and non-interlaced procedures

There are two different scanning systems. They differ in the technology used to display the

image on the screen. TV signals, and monitors which are compatible with them, generally

use the interlaced procedure; computer signals, and monitors compatible with them, gener-

ally use the non-interlaced procedure. These two formats are not compatible; one of them

must first be converted before the signals can be processed together.

In the case of interlaced scanning, each image is divided into two separate fields. An image

therefore comprises two fields. An interlaced image is output on the screen in two scans.

The horizontal lines of the first field are scanned first, and then, again starting at the top of

the image, the horizontal lines of the second field are scanned between the first set of lines.

Field 1 consists of the lines 1 to 262 1/2, and field 2 of the lines 262 1/2 to 525. Only a few

lines are displayed at the top and bottom of each field.
