881/882 Video Test Generator User Guide (Rev A.22) 195
Note: If other catalogs are also selected, the Source list will include the formats in
those catalogs as well.
Note: If you power cycle the generator you will have to reinstate the format catalogs
by loading with DIRL and using it with DIRU.
To create a format catalog with both custom formats and default formats:
1. Create your custom formats using either the command line “Creating custom formats
using the command line interface” on page 191 or the Format Editor “Creating custom
formats using the Format Editor” on page 186.
2. Set the format path either through the Format Editor or the command line with the
FMTP command “Setting the generator’s path” on page 18 and shown below:
FMTP /tffs0/library/userdata
3. Save the custom format in the directory pointed by the current format path.
4. Enable the User Source library.
a. Press the Source key
b. Press the Options key repeatedly until the Library listing is shown and select
Library.
c. Enable the User catalog by pressing the adjacent softkey such that it has a plus (+)
sign next to it.
The custom formats that you saved in the Userdata directory will now appear in the
Source list with other default formats that have been enabled.
To remove a format from a format catalog:
1. Establish a session with the generator using HyperTerminal over a serial connection or
Telnet over an Ethernet LAN. For instructions, see “Establishing a terminal session with
the generator” on page 31 and “Establishing a Telnet session with the generator” on
page 34.
2. Remove a format from a format catalog by entering the following commands:
DIRL Vesa1 // loads the catalog
DIRT Source
DIRB // begins a directory editing session
NAMK /tffs0/Library/Formats/DMT0660 // deletes DMT0660
Or...
NAMY 1 // deletes first format in catalog
DIRE // ends the directory editing session
DIRS // saves the catalog
DIRU // applies the catalog
