This section explains how to configure the generator to output video formats that are
supported by the device being tested.
Note: You can create your own formats. See
details. Additionally, you can create your own Format knob lists. See
lists" on page 67 for details.

Selecting formats automatically

When testing EDID-compatible displays, the generator can automatically update the
Format knob list (list of format names shown on the LCD) to include only formats
supported by the display under test. Depending on the output used, the generator can do
this on demand, or automatically when a display is connected.
To update the Format knob list on demand:
1. Connect the display you want to test with the generator.
2. Hold down the R key, and then press and release the ACS key. This puts the generator
into either Analog Friendly or Digital Friendly mode based on the EDID that the
generator receives.
3. Turn the Format knob to choose a format. Only formats supported by the display are
listed.
