Command: mode


Description:

Displays or changes the mode or media type.

Different image resolutions are supported through the use of the plot mode parameters in NVS (set mode <mode_#>). This subsystem is indexed because multiple resolutions can be supported.

Under normal circumstances, the workstation provides the image data and specifies the resolution at which each image is to be exposed. The recorder uses this resolution to determine which of the mode parameter tables to use.

Mode

For many of the imaging-related functions which can be performed from the Diagnostic Monitor, a default diagnostic mode (i.e. resolution) is used. Changing the diagnostic mode will have no effect on images coming from the workstation.

Media

Different media types are supported by the Media Types subsystem in NVS (set media <media_#>). This subsystem is indexed so that multiple media types can be supported. This will have no effect on images coming from the workstation.
