Auto Mode -
This will select the VGA input with the highest priority
that has an active VGA signal.
Scan Mode
- Will select each active VGA signal for a specified
number of seconds, 1-60, and then switch to the next active VGA input.
The AC506A can also be configured to scan the non-active VGA inputs as
well as the active VGA inputs.
Normal Mode
- VGA inputs are selected based on front panel push-
button selections.
The AC506A can only be in one of these modes at a time. You can specify
mode of operation either from the Serial port or from the front panel (by
pressing switch combinations simultaneously).
The Switch retains the last mode that it was in after power off and upon
power up, will enter the last mode that it was in.
3.2 Front-Panel Switches
The first function of the front panel buttons is to switch from one VGA
signal to another. Just press the button and the VGA signal you selected
will be displayed. If there is no VGA signal to be displayed then you will
see a black screen. The AC506A will enter Normal Mode any time a
single front panel button is pressed.
The second use of the front panel buttons is to put the AC506A into Auto
Mode. Press buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously and the AC506A will enter
Auto Mode.
The third use of the front panel buttons is to put the AC506A into Scan
Mode. Press buttons 3 and 4 simultaneously and the AC506A will enter
Scan Mode. The time interval between switching will be the time interval
last specified via the serial port. If no interval has been specified then the
default is 5 seconds. Whether or not to scan non-active VGA inputs along
