4. USING METHODS OF HFQ VFQ VLN There is a need to autolock unpreset models without using the Mode 99 accoridng to the state in which the VS board is used The procedure is as follows Input a PC without the preset data Autolock to 99 Check the frequency and full line number using the FRQ command Forcible lock using the M command to the model with a similar frequency Input the checked data using HFQ VFQ and VLN Execute M00 and check that it has been auto locked DU RWN PE Unpreset models can also be autolocked using the above procedure To set back the original state use the F command 174 MVP MANUAL 14 SELECTING THE SYNC SIGNAL When adjusting the VS board care must be taken regarding the relation of the priority order of the sync signal Order of selecting the sync signal The priority order for selecting the sync signal of the VS board is Separate sync gt composite sync gt Green on sync However if the sync signal of a certain method is selected once according to the connection and power ON OFF order even if sync signals with a higher priority order than that sync signal are connected later sync selection will not be switched In this case however the priority order will be selected again when the power of the converter is turned on again Frame for Sync Signal The horizontal frame values are saved according to the sync signal currently selected For this reason the horizontal frame may deviate

52. wever looking at the recent PC market is taken into consideration it is not possible to incorporate preset data in all models due to the diversification of manufacturers models and graphic mode etc For this reason the variable scan board has been forcibly locked to the mode called model data 99 for personal computers without preset data in order to output the personal computer screen to the monitor Consequently it can deal with many of the 24 kHz to 35 kHz personal computers the upper limit for the dot clock is 35 MHz However this model No 99 has several restrictions in order to deal with numerous personal computers e When the HFD command to change the sampling clock exceeds 35 MHz the image may become blur Use 99 without moving HFD as much as possible e Atthe point the personal computer locked to model No 99 dusts may appear at the top and bottom as shown in the figure 7 Dusts appearing at the top and bottom In such cases use the VWM VPS and VWD commands to mask the dirt e The RGB board is the upper limit at which the dot clock 35 MHz ensures performance The following is a simple calculation method of the dot clock Dot clock Hz ffective dot number x Horizontal frequency Hz x 1 35 e Use Mode 99 to output images temporarily When used it is recommended that the user preset area No 28 to 58 be changed and used after checking the frequency etc using FRQ command e The G on Sync model is not locked i
