After sending the last command, the file is automatically converted to an XML file and is
available to use at the generator.
To create and save an analog test sequence from a text file:
1. Using a text editor, open a text editor on your computer and enter the following
commands to create a three-step sequence named
MySeq:
// initializes the sequence edit buffer
// begins a sequence editing session
1
// selects a step to be edited
5.0
// sets the delay for the current step to five seconds
480p59
// loads a format
SMPTEbar
// loads an image
2
// selects a step to be edited
5.0
// sets the delay for the current step to five seconds
720p60
// loads a second format (same image)
Outline1 // loads an image
3
// selects a step to be edited
5.0
// sets the delay for the current step to five seconds
1080i29
// loads a third format
Geom_4
// loads another image
// ends the sequence editing session
MySeq
// saves the current contents of the sequence editor
Note: If you wish to use a format or image that is in a location that is not the current
location of the format path (fmtp) or image path (imgp) you will have to specify the
complete path. For example if you wand to use an image from the PCcard in the
Library/Image directory you would use the following:
/card0/library/images/SMPTEbar // loads an image from PCcard
And if you wanted to use a format from the PCcard but the current format path was set
to Flashmem, you would enter the following:
/card0/library/formats/DMT0660a // loads a format from PCcard
2. Save the text file with a .txt extension.
