Commands for Pixel Error Test
Note: Commands are not case sensitive.
Command Description
PDAX:NFRS Set number of frames to analyze in
pixel data analysis test or sets test to
continuous mode requiring user
intervention to terminate.
PDAX:CAPF Capture a reference frame for pixel
data analysis test
PDAX:GFCA Saves a captured frame to a file. This
is used as a reference frame ("golden"
frame) for comparison with subsequent
captured frames.
PDAX:GFCL Load a captured reference frame from
a file.
PDAX:MXER Set maximum number of detailed
errors to record in pixel data analysis
test.
