DDC Options
The options within this section are related to the Display Data Channel features
supported by the AdderView CATx 1000. DDC is an industry standard format
that allows computer systems to be informed of the capabilities of the video
monitor connected to them.

DDC Source
Settings: AUTO, LOCAL, REMOTE, DEFAULT
Determines which user port monitor should be interrogated to discover its
capabilities. AUTO begins with the local user port and if it fails, it then checks
the remote port and if that also fails to produce a result, it uses a set of default
values. The LOCAL and REMOTE settings force the unit to interrogate only
the local and remote monitors respectively, and DEFAULT uses only the pre-
programmed settings.

DDC Refresh
Settings: AT START, DISABLED
AT START sets the AdderView CATx 1000 to read DDC information from the
selected source at power up. When DISABLED, no new DDC data is sought and
existing information is used. When viewing this menu, press F7 to discover DDC
information from the chosen source immediately.

port when used to command optional system
power control units.

Baud Rate
Settings: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200,
38400, 57600, 115200
Configures the communication speed of
the

POWER CONTROL

port and must match

the speed used by the connected power
switch(es). Note: The PSU-8MASTER and PSU-
8SLAVE power switches supplied by Adder
require a setting of 9600.

Format
Settings: NONE.8.1, ODD.8.1, EVEN.8.1, NONE.8.2, NONE.7.2, ODD.7.2,
EVEN.7.2
Configures the data format used by the serial port and must match the format
used by the connected power switch(es). The NONE/ODD/EVEN portion relates
to the parity checking; the 7/8 value is the size of the data byte and the 1/2
value determines the stop bit(s) used after each data byte.
