Using a Computer for Control and Programming
Video Generator Manager (VGM)
The VGM software package provides a graphical user interface that allows
you to operate and program our stand alone, ISA card and PCI card Model
801 Series video generators. The current versions of the software run on
computers using Microsoft® Windows® 95/98/NT. The software also allows
you to save copies of custom formats, images and sequences on the
computer's disk drive. These files can then be uploaded into other Model
801 generators. The included custom image editor provides a simple
WYSIWYG interface that allows you to quickly setup custom test images.
The VGM package includes an extensive "Help" section that covers its op-
eration as well as documentation of the commands and queries supported
by the generators.
A copy of the VGM software is included with each unit sold. The software
is also available as free download from the Tech Support area of our Web
site at www.quantumdata.com.
Smart Testing And Repair (STAR) Package
The STAR software package allows you set up and document test proce-
dures for both DDC and non-DDC compliant monitors. The software runs
on computers using MS-Windows 95/98/NT. Please contact your Quantum
Data sales representative for more information.
Archiver Utility
The Archiver utility provides a simple text based interface that allows you
to communicate with our stand alone, ISA card and PCI card Model 801
Series video generators. The software runs as an MS-DOS application. It
includes a simple terminal function for sending commands and queries to
the generator.
The Archiver utility is also used to update the firmware on more recent vin-
tage Model 801 Series generators that have the proper Flash EPROMs in-
stalled. The software allows you to backup any user created data to disk
prior to performing the update. The backed up files can then be updated
and uploaded back to the generator after the firmware update.
The Archiver software is available as free download from the Tech Support
area of our Web site at www.quantumdata.com.
