To create a Custom Source Mode… 
n 
Using the Name listbox, select a 
source type similar to the input source.
This will act as a template on which 
your custom mode will be based. 
p 
If it is an interlaced 
source, tick the 
Interlace box. For 
progressive sources 
ensure that this box 
is unticked. 
q 
Copy the monLineCount value (in the Device Status 
section) to the LineCount field. 
Copy the monLinePeriod value (in the Device Status 
section) to the LinePeriod field. 
o 
Click the New Source button and 
enter a new name for the new 
source type in the popup box: 
r 
Select the new source name in the mode pull down. This 
forces auto-detection to always choose the new mode. 
Click Resync to force the auto-detection algorithm to 
select your new mode. 
s 
If necessary, modify the HSize and VSize fields 
to be the same as the digHSize and digVSize 
measurements. These will only reflect the true 
source values if the screen is showing content 
across its full extent. 
If necessary, modify the FirstPixel and FirstLine 
fields to be the same as the digFirstPixel and 
digFirstLine measurements. 
t 
Iteratively modify the 
PixelsPerLine value and click 
the Resync button. 
When the value is correct 
sampling across a line will not 
show any aliasing. This is best 
done using a moire test pattern 
or with a screen of fine text.
