Tool Description:
Menus:
Calculate — use the input parameters to calculate and display the output variables
Set — calculate and send the result to the display head
TurnOff — turn off color viewers
NTSC — set up monitor waveforms to conform with NTSC standard. Requires the bits per pixel button entry before bugging NTSC
Buttons (Input parameters):
screen width — enter the number of visible pixels per line
screen height — enter the number of visible lines per frame
refresh rate — enter the number of frames per second (interlace is assumed)
hBlank time — enter the number of microseconds of horizontal blanking, measured
from the leading edge of horizontal sync.
vBlank time — enter the number of microseconds of vertical blanking, measured
from the leading edge of vertical sync.
bits per pixel — enter the number of bits per pixel for monitor.
Position — enter left or right for position of color monitor with respect to LF display
Labels (Output Variables):
field time — milliseconds per field
field freq — 1/(field time), Hz
line time — microseconds per line
line freq — 1/(line time), KHz
pixel time — nanoseconds per pixel
pixel freq — 1/(pixel time), Mhz
MUL, DIV, vertical ctrl, horizontal ctrl: calculated parameters needed by the display head
