CONTRAST ENHANCEMENT - This option offers different ways of producing greater contrast in text modes.
Black & White - This option should only be used on monochrome flat panels. It is similar to "Text/Back. Enhancement". User's preference should determine which enhancement options to use.
Greyscale/Color - This option is used to display color data on monochrome panels as shades of grey. Users with color flat panels should select this option.
Text Enhancement - This will cause colored text to have higher contrast on monochrome flat panels.
Background Enhancement - This option causes high contrast in backgrounds. Colored backgrounds are displayed as either black or white.
Text/Back. Enhancement - This option is equivalent to selecting both text and background enhancement. Text enhancement maintains contrast from the background.
EXPAND MODE - This function controls the vertical expansion of text and graphics mode to fill as much of the panel as possible.
VERTICAL POSITION - This function controls the vertical placement of the video modes that do not use the full flat panel display. This option has no effect while expand mode is turned on. Takes effect immediately when the panel is the active display.
DISPLAY - This function controls whether the panel, or CRT is the current output device. In SimulSCAN both the panel and CRT are active. This is generally used as a presentation mode. The display will be optimized for the CRT. Some options such as expand mode and bold font have no effect in SimulSCAN.
BUS WIDTH - This function sets 8-bit or 16-bit operation in an environment where 16-bit operation is possible.
INHIBIT FONT LOAD - When the panel is the active display, a supplemental font is loaded to enhance the display quality. This supplemental font is for text mode only.
FULL HEIGHT CURSOR - This option creates a full character sized block cursor on the panel. This larger cursor is helpful for quickly locating the cursor on the panel.
RGB WEIGHTING - Change gray scale values on a monochrome flat panel or the red, green, and blue values on a color flat panel. This option allows the user to configure color weighting to personal preference. Changes take effect immediately, when the panel is the active display.
POWER MANAGEMENT - Stand-by power down mode is an automatic power save feature. When no activity is detected for a preprogrammed time period, then stand-by mode is entered. Stand-by mode conserves power, allowing longer battery operation. THIS OPTION WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE IN PANEL MODE. IF YOU ARE CHANGING THE DISPLAY TO CRT OR SIMULSCAN YOU SHOULD DISABLE THE POWER MANAGEMENT TIMER.
Note: Some options are designed for a specific display mode, that is CRT, SimulSCAN, or flat panel. The following options take effect only in flat panel mode: Bold, Contrast Enhancement, Vertical Position, Full Height Cursor, and RGB Weighting. In SimulSCAN and flat panel modes, Reverse Video may be used. At any time, Display, Bus Width, and Inhibit Font Load may be used.

- This option displays text characters (with the foreground intensity bit set) with a "bold" font and only applies to the flat panel. The "bold" font must be loaded using a DOS "TSR" utility program before enabling this option.
PANEL EXPANDED MODE - This option controls the vertical expansion of text and graphics mode to fill as much of the flat panel as possible.
FONT LOAD - This option loads a supplemental font to enhance display quality when switching from CRT to panel or CRT to SimulSCAN and is only used for text mode. Note that the supplemental font may interfere with some text programs which load their own font.
PANEL POWER - This option selects between standard and low-power panel usage and takes effect only in flat panel display mode. The standard setting provides a sharper image, while the low-power setting will save power. Color panels disregard this option and remain in the standard setting.
B/W ENHANCEMENT - This option produces greater contrast in text modes by forcing color attributes to be displayed as either black, white, or a single shade of gray. When disabled, gray shading is assigned based on the options selected by Text Shading.
640x480 CRT Refresh - This option controls the refresh rate for 640x480 resolution modes on the CRT. When it is selected, all 640x480 video modes will have a vertical refresh rate of 72Hz. Since some monitors cannot use this higher refresh rate either check the monitor's documentation, or set the option and then use the preview option to verify that the mode works correctly. Since this is a standard VGA resolution and is available on all VGA-compatible monitors, it is not covered by the Monitor Type selection.
DISPLAY - This option controls whether the panel, CRT, or both are the current output device, and takes effect immediately. In SimulSCAN both the panel and CRT are active; an option generally used for presentation mode. If the current mode on the CRT is greater than 640x480 resolution, no display switch will occur.
GRAPHICS SHADING - This option controls the method of converting color data to a monochrome panel in graphics modes and has no effect on color panels. There are two selections: NTSC shading and Green Only (only the green color is used as the grey shading source). Select the option which produces the best display for your application.
TEXT SHADING - This option controls the method of converting color data to a monochrome panel in text modes and has no effect on color panels. There are three text shading selections: NTSC shading, Green Only (only the green color is used as the grey shading source), and Direct Mapping. Select the option which produces the best display for your application.
VERTICAL POSITION - This option controls the vertical placement of the video modes that do not use the full flat panel display. It has no effect while expand mode is turned on.
POWER MANAGEMENT - This option provides power saving features and is only available in flat panel display mode. Select the power management option and set the timer to enable this option.
- Standby is a power saving mode which allows application programs to continue to update the display memory while the flat panel power is disabled.
- Backlight power savings can be achieved by disabling the backlight while continuing to update the flat panel display. In bright daylight the backlight may not be required to use the display.
- Mem indicates that the power management mode will be entered when application programs do not access video memory for the time specified by the timer.
- Keybd indicates that the power management mode will be entered when the keyboard is not used for the time specified by the timer.
Some options are designed for a specific display mode, either CRT, SimulSCAN, or flat panel, and are listed below.
Flat Panel Display Mode Options:
Reverse Video, Bold Font, Expand, Font Load, Panel Power, B/W Enhancement, Display, Graphics Shading, Text Shading, Vertical Position, Power Management
